Called the company back that I had interviews with last week to get an update and they offered me two jobs.
2 jobs!
The first I'd applied for and had two interviews for turned out to be the lower paid. There was lots about that job that I could get excited about with new things to learn, a team on site and knowing a few people already there. But I'd expected it to be the higher paid of the two.
The second job I'd applied for was a Project Support role. I'd told them I was happy to take a step back to gain experience and then move up within the company to be a Project Manager again. When I spoke to the nice HR girl today she said that between her and the manager they had decided that although I would get the experience I would get bored quickly. Sooooo they upgraded the job to the Associate Project Manager role. Woo Hoo. Was not expecting that :0)
Actually didn't take me more than a few seconds to decide. I had thought that if I could get the support job I'd get promoted pretty quickly. I was right I got promoted before I even started. I took the Associate Project Manager job because it has better prospects and it's the one I feel most excited about. Plus it was higher paid although I'd decided money wasn't the deciding factor unless it was significantly different.
Anyway what I'm gradually getting to here is that I GOT A NEW JOB :0)
I am really really really (repeat to end of page) happy. I'm also relieved that I have found something that interests and excites me and that I don't have to face a period of unemployment.
I think a lesson has been learned here and I will be trying doubly hard to keep in control of my finances.
Yesterday I was feeling really down with rubbish at work and all the uncertainty, now I feel so excited. I can't wait to get out of my current job and start something new.
Thanks bloggers for putting up with my job searching blog, Normal service will be resumed shortly!

Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you. What a relief it must be. Several of my friends have gone through job searches lately and it is a difficult time to be seeking work.
Wait on buying the new bag until you get your first new paycheck...then you will have earned the reward. Don't forget to put aside a small percentage of your new salary for retirement. Those little bits saved will add up over the years.

Well done!
