CheshireCrab Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 When I went into 2017 I wrote a list of 20 different things I want to do before the end of the year. The most frightening of this, had to be trying to land a job in development. I've been working off and on at my current IT job for a little over 3 years. While it has been super awesome, it's not leading me down the road I want to be traveling down. I love to program, but I've been too afraid to get myself out there and find a job in programming. After a really long while of getting over my imposter syndrome, going through interviews, and building up my portfolio I applied for a very enticing job offer. Went in for the interview last Friday then had a few nights of restless sleeping waiting for their answer before hearing back from them today. And... I GOT THE JOB ! After so much work I am taking one BIG step forward to getting into the career I want to be in. 4 Quote Challenge Logs: Current Challenge | Fitocracy Profile | Photo Journal Crab Stats: Level 27 Ranger | Level 35 Fitocract | Level 100 Awesome Link to comment
