The Fidget Chronicles - Part 2 - The Career Chronicles
So, as of late I've been re-evaluating my career. I love my job and my company, but unfortunately the project that I have worked tirelessly on is winding down (successfully). So I was caught between the following options: stay where I am busying myself with helping out on other projects waiting for the next "big" project in the pipeline, staying in my company, but moving to a new area permanently, or looking outside my company.
The woman who hired me 13 years ago (my manager's manager) suggested I look into another area within my company where there is a ton of work and a lot of open positions. It would be a new area for me, but room for growth, both from a project standpoint as well as a possible promotion (if I could leverage it). She suggested I call the hiring manager for this new area and get a feel for the open positions. So I did and he wanted to meet with me and asked for my CV. I met with him today and the meeting went exceptionally well. He was floored by my experience, mentioned that this would involve project and people management, and that no one else internally has even applied. He suggested that I formally apply for the positions and looks forward to meet with me again soon. For all intents and purposes, it looks like I could very well get the job and he mentioned that he may even make it a higher level position (Associate Director) if he gets the right "fit". My company is a very large, well known company, so this is pretty big news.
Yona: In my original reading in March, she said the focus of my reading was around "meetings and interviews".
Kisha: In my original general email from 12/18, she said in March I would have a good review/feedback on my job performance, but there wouldn't be any big financial gain (true), but that it would come later. She felt I would reap the financial benefits later in the year, and she felt October stood out.
Mattie: Although when I read with her in July about my POI #1, she asked if I was considering a job change. I told her it was possible, that I was still toying with the idea. She said she felt that the possible job change was a timing marker for things to move forward with POI #1.
So there you have it. I'll post updates.
Disclaimer: Please, please, PLEASE don't go on reading tangents because of my saga. I haven't gotten any readings since August and I seriously don't suggest anyone bingeing. I don't plan on ever going down the rabbit hole again. Things have been moving more since I STOPPED getting readings. Just food for thought...
