The pay and conditions are better than I expected for a first job and they even have comparitively decent holiday entitlement. The culture shock is not from england but from the six months of not working to early starts and late finishes. I am actually enjoying rejoining the rat race and although this may be one of the toughest jobs I have ever had I am looking forward to the challenge. So thanks again, and to anyone doubting their chances at getting a job well if they will give me one... :) |

Re: I am working in the USA!
Congrats on the job.
I'm with you on the early morning starts. I've been working for 3 weeks now and have to say that I am missing my sleep in's every day. Must say I am enjoying the challenge of being in the real world and socialising on a daily basis. |
