In 2008 I graduated from my last full time study and my working life started from that moment. I worked in various places, but struggled to keep a job. If you’re a regular reader or know me personally, this isn’t news to you.
For years and years I blamed the economic state of the world and my employers for me not being able to keep a job. It was years later, around 2020, that I figured out that this issue had more to do with me than I thought. I tried to accept that this is who I am and will never keep a long term job. It didn’t take long to realize that I couldn’t accept that situation, I found help to figure these struggles out.
Once I really got to work with working out my struggles the pieces of my puzzle finally started to fit together. In March of 2022 I started working as a teacher. Soon after I started and graduated from a part time study to become a professional teacher. Since I’ve received my diploma, the school is able to offer me a permanent contract, and that’s what they did.
As of the next school year I’ll be working under a permanent contract.
The very first in a career of 16 years. To me this is proof that I was right to not accept this about myself. I love my job and it ticks all the boxes of what I need to perform well in a job.
To realize that I’ve broken my personal record of longest job placement, which was one year and nine months, is amazing. Even though I’m only at two years and three months right now. It might sound stupid to others, but I’m crazy proud of myself for achieving all this. I could have given up. I could have kept blaming everything outside of me. But I didn’t.
Of course I don’t know what the future will hold for me. But for now I’m completely happy with my job. It offers me so many challenges, diversity and learning opportunities, which really suits me. Recently I noticed that my communication with my coworkers was getting so much easier too. I think I’ve gotten to know them quite well. Also something that I’m not used to because I was never in one place long enough to really get to that comfort level.
I’m so excited to see how things will progress from here. What levels I can reach in this job. I’m not done growing and learning, that’s for sure.
