I started new beginning a week before completing a year after returning to my homeland isle. It was a significant incident for me because I could overcome my mental slump. It's true that I was not feeling so well, but things took a change for the better.
The company in which I started work is one of the highly reputed firms dealing in the apparel industry. Getting the job without using any influence is also very significant for me as well. Its not that I couldn't, but instead chose not to. So, things are kind of looking good so far.
My supervisor and team are very supportive; something that was not a factor at my previous work place. My first week was quite hectic and normally Friday's happen to the busiest (so much for TGIF!!). In spite of it, I find the work actually quite interesting since its not my usual discipline. I'm in a completely different industry to which I had some prior insecurities, but a week past things don't look so bad. The manager who interviewed me was from a rival school and told me how impressed he was with my CV. At the first interview he said "you just had me at hello!! And I like you"- talk about a morale booster. He also said "my only worry is how can we keep a person like you interested with us in time to come." I got the feeling that he was concerned of me leaving the company for a better offer. Despite that, he put faith in me for which I'm very grateful.
There is a sense of expectation and I'm very determined not to disappoint anyone. I have a lot to prove to myself that I'm up to anyone's expectations. My previous employement fiasco does nothing but haunt my memory.
Bottoms up to a new start!! :)
