6 months ago I decided I needed a plan to sort my career side of things out.
Well the 6 months are over.
Following the sequence I did for the original post
1. I am not in the same position as I was in 6 months ago
2. I have a paid legal job
3. I have cut down my contract at my weekend job, I only work Saturday’s now. The legal role I have is temporary to permanent so for now, I feel this is the best position for me.
4. Once I start getting paid I am saving, I have way too much to look forward to this year.
5. I am actually studying Intermediate Spanish now. First assignment is due soon, eek!
I can’t beleive my plan has worked. 6 months can definitely make a difference. I feel ten times more positive now that I have more experience and can use this to my advantage. I am still not quite on the trainee solicitor map as yet, but its a start. Things can only get better 
I can’t believe it, my first week at the new job is already over.
I have learnt quite a bit about the processes as well as the company I work for during this week.
The work here is conveyancing only, and the work I do is admin related for now but then moving into being a case handler.
The firm, so to say, deals with coveyancing in volume and I mean volume. The team I have joined is really nice, we all get along quite well and I’m glad I can always ask someone for help when I need it. I hope it stays this way!
And android, I feel your pain about filing. So so boring but you have to do it I guess
This week just gone by has been possibly the most longest week of my life, so far.
I started the week off with a great job in another city and by midweek I had another job offer elsewhere. The first job offer, which I accepted and went to for a few days, was just what I had been looking for. It was a great corporate firm and the role was a caseworker/paralegal role. The only problem I had was the commute. It would take roughly 2 hours in the morning and evening to commute. I went for a few days and I came to realise that I may not be able to do the journey all the time, especially if I needed to take work home with me. For the days that I went, I ended up coming home and wanting to go sleep and nothing else.

This has just been unveiled in Madrid…I need to visit 
Found here!
Along with the other concerts I am attending this year, I am also going to see Jay Z. Out of all of them I am most excited about seeing Jay Z. I can not wait 
This week marks a full month since I have been at home and law jobless.
It hasn’t been good to say the least but I have taken a very pro-active approach to job hunting and everything in general. If I don’t apply, I won’t get.
I have applied to so many jobs and have had great feedback. The one thing that is missing is experience, eventhough I have over a years worth of experience in a variety of law firms ranging from general high street practices to the big corporate law firm.
Those who are still job hunting like me will understand the frustration but I guess we have to stay positive and keep a positive attitude. I have had super bad days followed by good days. We just have to keep at it and not lose concentration on what we want at the end of it all.
I couldn’t help it lol

our hotel has a fish swimming pool
One of my very good friends is getting hitched this year, and what better way to celebrate her hen do than go abroad
Seeing as I’m at home I was given the role of finding a decent place that was full of sun, sea and sand as well as it being relatively cheap. If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that finding anything within our budget was a nightmare. We tried to book ‘cheap’ flights with ryanair but they add numerous charges at the end of the transaction just for flights. Nightmare!!
Finally we booked Malta for 4 days in May. I have never been to Malta but most reviews and websites have said it’s usually hot at that time of the year. [Thank god for Google!!]
I can’t wait to go, it’s one of the few things I am actually looking forward to this year
In other Poonam news, I am still jobless and sorta getting irritated now.
I thought I told...
