I'm proud of myself today

[grassymcbum]

I know this is incredibly daft and all the high earners will think I'm on another planet but I have tried so very hard lately to try and better myself. I was a sahm for years after having my twins and because my DH has always had a great career etc I just never really thought about returning to work, until one day 5 years ago I decided I was gonna do something for me and get myself a pt job in shop to grow my confidence and get myself back out there again. Well today I have only gone and filled in a big application for an office job that needs no experience and they are willing to train/skill up etc. it's a full time 25k job and whilst i have only applied, I have poured my heart and soul into making sure I have done a good job in my application. I never thought I'd do this and I just want to scream with excitement at the thought of starting something new ( all off my own bat) im in full confident mode. I might actually apply for prime ministers Job should it become available again 🤣

Well done! You should be proud of yourself, best of luck 👍

Good luck I really hope it goes well for you 😊.

How exciting! When's the closing sate ?

That's brilliant. Best of luck for the interview!

Well done! Well done! Well done!

I'm currently at home with little ones but will be looking to get back into work next year. Your post has given me hope I'll keep everything crossed that you're successful.

Brilliant, really hope you get it.

Wonderful OP, it's hard to make a change like that, you definitely deserve to feel proud!

This made me smile, really hope you get it OP! 🤞🤞🤞

Well done - I bet you look back in one, five or ten years’ time and this is a real turning point for you.

I’ve recently started driving again after a phobia built up and not driving for over ten years. I’m still nervous and won’t go too far afield, but feel like I’ve opened up my world for me & my family. I’m sure you feel the same!

Thanks all so much. Dead line is next week so I'm hoping I hear . To be honest even if I'm not successful I'm
Just proud of myself for taking this step. If it's for me it won't pass me. X

@WalkingOnSonshine oh I really know what you mean! It may see something so small an irrelevant to other people but a massive, life changing deal to you. We'll done for 'just doing it' I think the hardest part is believing in yourself! It's always easier to cheer everyone else on for the sidelines!!! Well done though. Xxxx

@TheWurst thanks so very much I honestly get that the salary is tiny compared to the big guns on here but honestly, I'm sitting here feeling like a champion 🤣😂

@grassymcbum - everyone has their own mountains to climb. This is a fantastic step you’ve made. 😊

Best of luck! I'd get a few more applications in before the deadline to take your mind off it.

Good luck and well done you

also apply for the PM job, you can’t possibly do the job any worse than the current bunch of jokers.

I gave a reference for a friend when she returned to work, and she was terrified and not confident. She got the job and is amazing at it.

@frazzledasarock oh that gives me such a boost. I love it when people make a little leap of faith and it works out well! X

I should also add that I'll be sick with nerves if I get selected for an interview. 🙈

One step at a time. You’ve absolutely got the right attitude.

Please come back and update us, your little cheerleading group!

Wishing you all the best.
I have had some lucky breaks in my career and my life could have turned out so differently.
Keep a positive mental attitude OP 🙏

This is a lovely motivational post, I hope it all goes well for the interview- sending positive vibes ⭐️
