I got a job!
Woohoo, I finally got a good job offer today. After many years of study and four months of job hunting it's all going to start paying off. I am so incredibly and totally stoked right now. So I am now officially a Graduate Consultant (in software solutions/development).
It was really a case of accepting the first job offer that was any good, simply so I could get into the industry and get some experience. If the job turned out to be crap I was planning on sticking it out for 12 months and then look at moving. Experience is everything! But thankfully as it turns out this company seems to be really good, with plenty of room for movement and growth. So hopefully I will stick it out with them for some time. If nothing else they are cashed up, I have never worked for a company that actually has surpluss cash.
The building I am working in is in the city and smack on top of the train station, so nice and easy. No need to go outside during winter. Not to mention I have to walk straight past a Borders store each and every day, now that will suck! Not! God my SO used to hate my book budget when I travelled on the train, it's probably a good thing I'll be earning so much more now, I'm going to need it.
