Summer Plans

Holiday over, I got about two days into my summer 'off' before deciding I couldn't wait until September to start the job search!  Four or five days of solid job hunting, CV revamping, cover letter writing and job applications made for a demoralised Erica.  However, it must have paid off as I got my first interview offer within that first week.  Four days later I was fully prepped and ready to wow them with my brilliance.  Little did I realise that I needn't have worried; the company interviewing me is a small team and they were more concerned with ensuring that I felt the job was a good fit for me than giving me a grilling.

I loved the team, the office, the work, Libby the Dalmatian, and the atmosphere and am delighted to say that I will be starting life in the real world, the 9-5, at the start of September!  I'll be with Curriculum Visions which is a smart little company which follows the National Curriculum to provide educational text/online books, videos, and teacher lesson plans and resources for primary schools.  I am most grateful that they've allowed me to postpone my start date until September, so I still get to have a summer to myself, sorting everything out post rowing!

I haven't been able to leave rowing altogether though, I have volunteered to be on the press team for Henley Women's Regatta and do all of the race reports for Leander crews during Henley Royal Regatta.  I am looking forward to being involved in this way and seeing everybody race.  After that I have a couple weeks in Guernsey planned and a cycle holiday round Lake Constance in Switzerland.  Can't wait :)

Living the life of leisure, out on my sun deck!
