Job offered? Job accepted.

I am excited to announce that I have officially accepted a job offer!

It’s been approximately 3 months and a ½ that I have been actively applying for jobs, and the wait has been worth it. As of September 29, I am officially working at an acute rehabilitation facility where I get to educate and support patients during their most vulnerable of times. 

Despite taking a longer time to find a job, I actually enjoyed the break that I got after school. It was a much-needed break considering that I have been in school ever since kindergarten, up until now, and I am 24 years old. That’s 20 years in school! Did I need a break? You bet ya.

Truth be told, the break carried a mixture of feelings. One feeling of which I wanted to find a job as soon as possible, and another of wanting to just relax and enjoy myself before the 12-hour shifts kicked in.

Despite the concoction of feelings, I treasure every day of the break, and urge others who are actively looking for a job to do so as well.  It has been a blessing to me, even though I might not have really realized it. It gave me the time to center myself, to take care of myself, to prioritize my goals, and just let my brain/body rest from the busyness that life often carries with it.

My advice for those who are unemployed is to keep your chin up, don’t lose hope, keep applying, yet also take the time and appreciate the unstructured time you have off to spend with family, friends, and yourself. It’s a blessing in disguise. As of now, I am paper and pen in hand learning, and writing down all of the nuances and details of the job. Stay tuned.

What have you learned during your transition period into a job?
