I am so happy for you! This is super exciting. I really hope this will be a long term fit for you. Congrats! You're a huge motivator for me. :)

Congratulations on the new job, Kari!!! I must have missed your earlier thread and this just made my night! I am so happy for you and so glad to see that your hard work and positive attitude paid off!

Congratulations Kari, that sounds wonderful!

Kari, I'm happy to hear that *your're* so happy with the new job! Congratulations! And congrats to your BF and sister as well!

Thank you for updating us, Kari. It's never easy to start a new job, so having a helpful team is so encouraging. Best of luck

Thanks so much! *big big grin* I am really thrilled and feel extremely lucky.

I'm so happy for you! This is such great news and it gives other jobseekers encouragement!

Congratulations on the new job, I must have missed the news earlier.

Fabulous, Kari! I am SO pleased. Starting a new job is daunting and it's just so great that your first day went well. May you continue to feel happy about the company you’re working for and enjoy dressing beautifully every day. I know that you shall set the style standard for your peers.

You have been a bit of a lucky charm, because Marianna has got two interviews scheduled and Maya goes to an interview on Friday! Good things happen in threes so I’m rooting just as hard for the other lasses. May your winning streak rub off on them too :0)

That's great news Kari! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you. I'm happy to hear about your boyfriend and sister too!

First days at work are such a mixed bag of emotions, I'm so pleased it went well and you have a good team to work with you.

Great news well done Kari x

Congratulations, Kari! I'm so happy you're liking your new role, first days can be so stressful.

I'm definitely hoping your good luck rubs off on Marianna and Maya, too!

Kari, I'm so happy for you!

This is wonderful news. And it's encouraging that others you know have landed jobs too -- maybe the recovery everyone is talking about is finally happening in real life, not just in the economic statistics.

i am terribly swamped at the moment and feel really bad at not responding to other threads, but this one i HAD to reply to. CONGRATULATIONS KARI! this is HUGE news, and i am so glad you are enjoying your new job. i hope you took yourself (and bf and sister too!) out for some sort of marvelous treat because you all deserve it :)

CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you and I'm hoping that you do represent the turn around point for people on YLF finding great jobs.

Kari, congratulations on getting a new and exciting job!!!

That's so great to hear, Kari!
I hope you're right about the timing. I have a friend whose partnet has been out of work for over a year, and they really need to find somethign soon.

That's awesome, Kari, congratulations again! Sounds like you'll get many opportunities for expanding your skill set, I hope it works well for you!

Wooohoo Kari - that's so exciting!!! Congrats to BF and sis too!!!

And Isn't it wonderful that you feel it is a* good fit*...so you don't feel the need to continue the search....congrats on landing a great job:)

I've also had to cut way back on posting, but I wanted to tell you congratulations, Kari, and to let you know I missed your wardrobe posts during the time you weren't posting. I enjoy your style and love seeing how you put things together to always look so polished.

And it's wonderful you've found such a good fit with your new job.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you and you sound so extremely happy! Yay!

Oh my goodness Kari, I missed this exciting development! Congratulations on finding a job!! Amazing how quickly fortunes can turn. I really hope your impressions remain positive and you love your new role! Best of luck!

Oh, hooray for new jobs! Best of luck as you transition into your new position, Kari!

Again, thank you VERY much for the YLF support. I hope too that this is the beginning of a turnaround point and that all of the job-seeking YLFers are successful. It's definitely a plus that both Maya and Marianna have interviews scheduled for the next week! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Sinead, I was really touched by your comment that you missed seeing my outfits when I wasn't posting so much. I honestly thought I posted *too* much in my over-zealous efforts to learn & participate. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to be active since training for the new job is tiring and time-consuming, but I will at least make weekly time to be on YLF and see how I can work it into my schedule.
