In the four weeks since I last updated this blog, I would say that things have changed for the better. I'm still not in full time employment so to say, but my experiences over the past few weeks (Last week in particular) have asked me if I really want to "settle down" job wise.
I realise that the previous point can be argued simply that no one really settles down job wise, but hear me out.
Last week I spent my first full week working in six months, I have done a number of odd days of work here and there, but nothing from Monday to Friday.
For the job in question I was an Events Host, I met a number of very interesting people including a Doctor of Genetics who was searching for a new path. During one of the many conversations that we had, the subject of "what makes you happy" came up, personally, I love writing, I wrote my first book at the age of four, I've still got it, it's riddled with grammatical and spelling mistakes, but I wrote it, and I'm still very proud of it.
The point I'm trying to make is that as an individual and as a employer/ prospective employee I believe that it is imperative that you are working towards a goal that will make you happy. For example, I as an individual am not driven by money, I have nothing against money and I'm sure that first class flights and all of those flashy things are lovely, but I'd rather be happy and proud of what I do.
As a result I currently find myself at a bit of a crossroads, the question, do I keep applying for jobs and take the first full time one that comes along? or do I simply keep doing what I'm doing, take the work when it comes and see what happens?
Personally I'm opting for the latter option, unless my dream job comes along, but I think that won't happen for a few years yet.
