To be bloody proud of myself!

[HateSummer]

I haven't worked in about 7 years and recently managed to get a job close to my field in the NHS where I know I can work my way up again.

My family are shit and don't care...not even a "good luck" or "well done".., but I'm so proud of myself. I have 3 kids, and managed to negotiate hours that suit me and my family life. I have so many opportunities ahead of me now.

Just finished my first full week and feel great! I never thought I'd be capable of working again or if anyone would hire "someone like me".

Ah thank you for all your kind words. I know this is only online but it really helps reading the lovely comments to boost my confidence.

I had loads of excellent advice on here about negotiating hours so I couldn't have done it without MN. Thanks to you all

Very well done indeed - seven years out and to get back in plus feel so positive - you must be very good at what you do!! As for the "someone like you" - you sound an ideal employee.

Huge deal and you know it. I am very happy for you and your family who will also benefit massively, I'm sure. Well done

You did really, really well, not just to get a job after seven years out of the paid workforce, but negotiate good terms as well. Truly well done!
