The Next Chapter

It has finally happened. The Next Chapter in my life and the beginning of what i have wanted to do for such a long time. Patience is a virtue, now i understand. Nearly 3 years' qualified, worked for a national firm and now the chance to follow my dreams.

No progression, no future, no point

A time comes when you have to decide is there any point in working at a firm where there is no where to go but sideways. Well, that is the question on my mind at the moment and doesn't seem to go away. No progression = no future to me anyway. I know that a lot of people don't mind coasting all their life, but that is truely a sad life and one that i can't live.

So what do i do? recession is here, fewer opportunities and more competitive than ever. do i stay or do i go? It's not as if i haven't tired, i applied for an interal vacancy a couple of weeks ago and was told that i wouldn't even get an interview for it, even though i spent hours writing up a statement on all the experience i have that was relevant for the job. i had more than enough experience for the poistion but if seems as if it's not what you know, but who you know that counts.

strange place, very strange place.
