Just that really. Spotted job late Thursday night, barely slept as so excited, spent all Friday morning applying.
It’s an ‘exactly what I’ve been looking for but didn’t know existed’ situation. I’ve wanted to move into another field and sector that I have some of the experience for but not all that’s usually required for these roles (I’m also studying in this field to improve my chances) and this role is an amalgam of lots things I’m already great at and enjoy, with the things I’m currently learning, and isn’t asking for much experience - just enough that I’m actually a really credible candidate. It’s mostly personal competenacies and skills that I definitely have.
It’s the perfect organisation, in a sensibly commutable place, not paying much less than I’m currently on (was expecting a pay cut as trying to move from the private sector to not-for-profit) basically it looks made for me.
I sent the keenest application ever, including a supporting letter they didn’t ask for. Now it’s all I can think about and I’ve got to get through the weekend at a minimum before I’ll know anything. It doesn’t close until next weekend but they’ve said they’re interviewing throughout the process as they want some ASAP.... I’m usually so pragmatic when it comes to job hunting and very ‘what will be willl be’ but I’ll be so upset if they don’t at least interview me.
