Hello,

I just need to express what is going with me personally/professionally right now.  Please forgive me for my rambling.  I start a new job tommrow.  I am a little nervous to say the least.  I just feel I have been in a never ending cycle.  When accepting this position (I am working as a contractor on site supporting a client) I asked about upward mobility opportunities with the company.  Needless to say I was no left with a warm fuzzy feeling, when I was told.... this is such a transite industry few people stay beyond a couple of years.  I am 41 years old, I just want a little security and stop the job hunting.  Am I crazy????

  • Hi, TamLyn,

    First of all, best of luck with your new job -- starting a new gig is always filled with anxiety, at least for me, so just hang in there and give it a bit of time.

    I think Lylah makes such a great point - even if you can't move up within this company, perhaps this position can lead to upward mobility in a different place.

    Let us know how your day goes!

  • You are not crazy at all -- but I do think that you are brave and strong for starting something new. Maybe this position will be a good stepping stone for you to get to that more-secure place?
