I'm Employed!

As of yesterday afternoon, I am employed! Cue cheering and applause, teehee
I have taken a sales position with a small local jewellery company. There are five branches across the country and I'll be working at the head branch which is here in my town. Although it is quite different to what I thought I would be doing, I am just very happy and relieved to have found employment this quickly! It'll be nice to get out of the house everyday, use my brain a bit more and I'm not going to lie - the extra income and jewellery discount will be lovely.

My degree is in history and African studies and the majority of my work experience is in education, so I didn't expect to go into a sales position, but I'm really looking forward to the new challenges and learning experiences. I start on Tuesday so I'm really going to enjoy my last full weekend of complete freedom, bring on the good times!

Congrats on the position! I have a degree in Psychology and Business but never though I'd work retail but that was what I did for 10 months last year. It can be very rewarding as long as you are surrounded by a great team.

Good luck!
