A Fresh Start Coming

Dear Diary,

My eyes are all droopy. My head is throbbing due to lack of sleep. But I  don't want to pass up the opportunity to tell you how this day made me so happy and blessed! To be honest, I feel like I am alive once again. Not that I died, of course. It's just that I am glad to have something to look forward to again. :>

As you all know, I have already resigned in my current job. I only got a couple of weeks left and right now, I am making the most out of it. I talk to my colleagues more, catch up with them even how busy we all are. Of course, since I am about to leave, I was searching for another job for more than 2 weeks now. I originally wanted to work at this accounting firm that I used to apply before, but then they didn't choose me. Good thing, the same human resource manager of that accounting firm called me and asked me if I am interested in another position in the firm. It is under a financial advisory firm which at some part is related to my current job. I told her yes and I'll be glad to try applying for the position. Honestly, I am not really sure that time what I really want to do. All I know is I need to get a new job. They called me for a initial phone interview then she endorsed me to the client who, after a week of dreadful waiting, eventually scheduled me for a final interview last Monday. It went well and as usual, I waited again for the results. (Read my previous post)

Yesterday (thursday) while I was at work, I was sending a text message to ze boyfriend when my phone started to ring. It was the HR manager, telling me if I could come to the office tomorrow (that's today - Friday) for the job offer. Geez, I was really mind blown and overjoyed. Haha! Of course I said yes and immediately told ze boyfriend about it. I even told some of my closest colleagues too about the job offer. They were excited for me as well.

Today came and I went to the office just right on time. We talked about my contract and all the perks I'll be getting. I was really surprised with all the perks! Lol It has exceeded my expectations! So I signed and now... I am officially hired! I got a new job, with my preferred work schedule, with a high paying salary and most of all, my new job practices work life balance. :D I even get to have a 2-week vacation on Christmas season. How awesome is that?

I will be starting there 2 weeks from now, August 5 to be exact. I won't have any bum period since I only have a weekend to rest and be ready for a fresh start. By the way, here's an email I received from my new boss:



I hid the my name and my boss' name for privacy purposes. It was so thoughtful of him to send an email just to congratulate and welcome me to the team. I am really looking forward to work with him and learn new things that could extremely help my career. So, wish me luck guys! xx


Always grateful,
Secret Diary Keeper
