The Waiting Game

Well it has been an exciting month since my last post. My final exam was not as straightforward as I had hoped, but at least the studying is over, and I should hear by the end of July whether I can add a Diploma in Economics to my CV. Almost more excitingly, I passed the assessment day for the Government Economic Service last week. There are still another two assessment days to go before a chance of a permanent post, but there may be the option of a temporary role in the meantime - so now I'm checking my emails every 20 minutes to find out if I've been offered a job.

On a personal note, I now have a beautiful, healthy nephew, had an awesome time at the Isle of Wight festival, and celebrated one year of happy marriage. And having my evenings free of studying, job applications and assessment day preparation is just lovely.

So now it's just a bit of a waiting game...but it all feels very positive. I've been trying to actively change career for almost two years now - in just a few short weeks I could be starting on a brand new path.
