I have added up the days and there are now 36 working days left until my current career ends, allowing me the time and opportunity to re-focus and consider my future. This is obviously a scary and worrying time, but I have to say part of me is very excited. I have always been the sort of person who has wanted to move on from a job after 3 years, and up until recently I have always managed it. This time round it has been much longer for me, although in different roles. I have worked for my current employer for eight years in three different jobs.
It definitely became comfortable and easy to stay rather than the upheaval of moving on, now though I don’t have the choice, redundancy meaning that as from the 1st of August my job no longer exists.
I will say it is not the greatest time ever to be out there looking for work, there aren’t a lot of them out there, but what it does mean that it is a great time to truly reflect on what you really want to be doing and what direction you would like to travel.
When in this position it is important to take time and thought, this is definitely not a time for rash decision making. I have some ideas, although not as many as I would like this close to the end, but I do feel confident that the spark of genius will come along and direct me forward, to the place I need to go.
