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.</p> <p>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 &amp; 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. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-job-first-day#post-92882 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:43:24 +0000 Anonymous 92882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, hooray for new jobs!

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.</p> <p>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) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-job-first-day#post-92623 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:17:09 +0000 bella 92623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the new job, I must have missed the news earlier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-job-first-day#post-92622 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:10:47 +0000 Laura 92622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so happy for you!

This is super exciting. I really hope this will be a long term fit for you. Congrats!

I'll be returning to some functions and roles that I used to perform in former jobs and have really missed, and I'll be learning many new skills and tasks that I could see influencing the direction of my career. The team I'm working with seems very collaborative and helpful, and the rest of the month will involve a great deal of training &amp; jumping into the role. </p> <p>I know that's awfully vague since I don't feel comfortable disclosing my specific job or company here, but I do want to say that I'm extremely excited and hopeful that the job and company could be a great long-term fit for me.</p> <p>I can't say enough how much I appreciate you chiming in with supportive, encouraging comments last week. You have no idea how helpful all of you were. Thank you.</p> <p>P.S. I'm thinking it must be a great week for job searching - both my boyfriend &amp; my sister found great, exciting jobs within the last week after very long search processes, and I am *thrilled* for them. </p>
