The Corporation
I had yet another recruitment agency interview today. Like I said, I've been told I should go for a PA position. So I'm going for an interview tomorrow for a PA position for an American engineering company, based in 46 countries around the globe.
Getting the job would be mint - way more money than I ever dreamed of getting - starting on Monday - and a great booster for my CV.
I sometimes pictured myself doing this sort of job before we came over here. Imagined buying a nice suit, a classy overcoat and a scarf - even some new shoes (since I haven't bought any new smart shoes for over 5 years) and heading off to work in the centre of London.
Now, when that it's actually an option, I don't know what I think about it. Does that sound like me? I don't think it does. While I pictured myself doing it, I didn't really want it. I have been extremely blessed with a ridiculously wealthy upbringing, but my career up until now has been so far away from the corporate life it's not funny.
And I'm glad about that.
Of course, I'll take it if I get offered it. At the moment, as horrible as it is to say - at the moment, it's all about the money.
I just need to make sure I don't change after being exposed to this different way of life.

Somehow I have difficulty picturing you changing into the corporate type.
Woohoo you're back!
Steven in an overcoat, newspaper under arm, striding through bustling London is an interesting concept.
If you are aware of the dangers of getting sucked in, and think you can perform the role without compromising yourself then perhaps it will provide some good exposure and experience??
At least that is what I tell myself.
I say grasp any oppurtunity with both hands. who knows you may love it:) you never know till you try:)
seriously any chance to explore a knew world is always worth a look. "and Sellling out the man" is a phrase and mind set only a year 10 student can say with the correct level of righteous and uninformed angst:)
ps glad to see you again
