"The Beginning of The End"
Talofa my hunnies, and welcome to another un-necessary post by your favorite gal. This blog will be posted un-announced so if you are reading this, thank you. Take a seat, relax and read on...

In 2010 when I made the transition into high school, I always heard from seniors or older friends that graduation is the beginning of the end. The end of what? My Life? My Sexiness? What ending drew closer to me day by day that I didnt even know about. And as I sit in my office, I can understand how for some people, becoming an adult is "the end".
I graduated high school in 2015, and had very big plans to go to university, study my brains off to become a lawyer, or a doctor etc. I even dabbled into the idea of becoming a police officer, study at Charles Sturt and everything. After high school I didn't even wait to catch my breath and before you know it, I was a telesales agent working in the city. Having no back ground in telesales, not even an ounce of experience and I managed to push through two months of work before caving in. There was no growth there. No future. And so I moved on. April 2016 is when I landed a receptionist traineeship position with Global Skills out in Fairfield. We worked alongside the government / centrelink to assist people in job search and worked with people of different background, different upbringings, people who could not even murmur a word of English. My traineeship was for 1 year and I stuck it out "for the experience" despite the shitty pay, and I am talking SHITTY pay. I stayed to learn to grow, all the things that were essential in thriving in our current workforce.
After my traineeship was done and I had walked out with a Certificate III in Business Admin, I search and searched for the next best things. I wanted to land in a job that will open up endless opportunities, allowed me to grow everyday, to lead and also to follow. I applied to 2 position which I believe to be meet my needs. The first was with Toll People (office/recruitment) and the second was a Front Office Receptionist for Quest Apartment Hotels. Both application sent at the same time. I had interviews with both jobs only 1 day apart. And after the interviews, I promised to take the first job to reach out to me. And for me, this wasn't the great "beginning of the end", but it was simply "THE BEGINNING".
It was a Friday afternoon and I was with my mum outside of CPAHS waiting for my brother to finish school when my phone rang. I saw that it was my potential employer from Quest, and so I hid my phone from my mum and stepped out of the car to answer. She offered me the position in which I graciously accepted and the rest of the conversation was a blur, something about what to wear for my first shift... I refrained from displaying any emotion, any excitement so I could surprise my mum. After the call I slowly walked towards the car and put a frowny face on, opened the door and sat down. My mum was in the middle of saying " dont worry about it, we will wait for toll to call" when I smiled and said, "I got the Job with Quest".
and then the rest is history. The beginning of the end? nah my bra, its just "The Beginning".
