🌟 **Exciting News!** 🌟 After an intense 8-month job search filled with challenges, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve started a new role as a Resource Planner/Administrator at Compleo Health Ltd. 🎉 This journey has been anything but easy. After spending 9 years with my previous employer, adjusting to the job market was a huge challenge. The search was long and often discouraging, with many rejections and near misses. 😓 One of the biggest hurdles was realising I couldn't continue my career in aviation operations in Manchester due to counter-terrorism laws requiring 3 years of local living history at the airport. 🛫 This forced me to explore other career paths. 🔍 I even considered going back to cabin crew and commuting to London. The long-haul contracts there, with only four or so sectors a month, seemed ideal. However, the sheer number of applicants and battling AI screenings was an eye-opener—and hard to accept. 🤖✈️ 💼 Interviews have never been my strength, and I’ve learnt so much about myself through this process. Navigating these challenges with ADHD was difficult but eye-opening. 🌱 The current job market is incredibly tough, and I’ve realised I still favour in-person interviews over online ones. It’s hard to gauge the room and make a genuine connection through a screen. 💻 I’ve also learnt the importance of bringing notes with previous work experience examples into interviews. 📒 Initially, I didn’t do this, but as I progressed, I found it helpful to ensure I provided detailed, relevant answers. However, it was a balancing act—sometimes needing more detail, other times less. It became a learning process to decide when to take feedback on board and when to trust my instincts. One of the hardest moments was being told I was "overqualified" for a role I really wanted. It’s something I still don’t fully understand, especially because I could see myself there long-term. 🤷♂️ 🎢 To add to the rollercoaster, I thought I had secured a job offer earlier in my search, only to have it withdrawn. That was a tough setback, but it taught me resilience and the importance of persistence. 💪 A special thank you to a small group of people who went above and beyond to help me on this journey. 🙏 One recruiter and one HR professional at a major company provided invaluable support. I couldn’t have done this without you. Now, I’m one week into my new role at Compleo Health, and I’m loving the vibe and the people I work with. It feels great to be back in a routine and have structure in my days again. 📅 I’m excited about this new chapter and grateful for the opportunity to start afresh in a new industry. 🚀 A huge thank you to everyone who supported me through this journey—your encouragement has meant the world to me. 🌍 Here’s to new beginnings, growth, and the exciting journey ahead! 🌟 #newbeginnings #careerjourney #jobsearch #resilience #mentalhealth #ADHD #overqualified #healthcare #newopportunities #gratitude #feedback
