Hello comrades,
Guess what ,I finally got a none-to -five job.:)
I m pretty excited about it ,although , I found out that my direct manager Is a big ol’ stickler.
Hopefully , I can pull it off.
U know ,it is an office job directly related to my field of study.
I pulled some strings ,or else ,I couldn’t land such a job.
I have three months to find my feet in the organization. You know ,I m talking about the 3-month probation period.
The first three month is gonna be very challenging. My first day would be on Tuseday ,given Monday is a holiday due to Ester.
I have a good feeling about the whole thing. I m guesting , I could start building a career.
Finally ,after years of jumping through hoops :)) finally I m on the right track.
Wish md luck !!!:)
Yours
Pete
P.S.It is a ful-time government job with fully loaded benefit 🙂
My position ,if you asked, is one below the site manager. I have 30 people work under me.
Scary , huh?:)))
Basically , I do what I could and hope for the best
Well, you know what they say :
With a hefty salary comes responsibility :))))))) (just made it up 🙂
