A lot of emails came through today about recruitment events. Luckily for me, I can completely disregard all of them, because my job has already been secured! =)
It's a great feeling.
I don't think I was ever overly excited about having secured my co-op placement for next year. But while I was at career day last week, that really sunk in.
I was on the other side.
I no longer had to work up the immense courage and guts to go up to the recruiters and make an impression.
I was behind the table. I was part of the recruitment team. People were coming to me.
What a difference from last year.
Putting aside all the other personal uncertainties about my potential job, workplace and career path, it really is nice to have some security and direction. I know that sounds contradicting, but having something that isn't perfect is still better than having nothing.
Am I settling for second best? Perhaps. But sometimes, maybe you need to take a detour and make some sacrifices to get to where you want to go.
