In December last year I made some decisions about professional ambitions that I held. I set my sights on a job in a particular place, thinking that I would work towards that goal over the next twelve months.
In February I was surprised to see a temporary position offered. I knew that it was earlier than I had wanted, but I made the decision to apply. I held no expectations. I just felt it was important to step into the unknown, move out of my comfort zone and just see what happened. This is a remarkable attitude for one who minimises risk as much as I do.
I submitted an application. I was short-listed. My referees were contacted. Then, earlier this week, I was offered and accepted the temporary position.
Here’s where it starts to get tricky…
The job is 1600km away from home. A two hour flight, a sixteen hour drive.
The position is for eleven weeks.
I am currently looking for a place to live for that time.
Exciting…
Scary…
Really happening!
