One year ago I wrote
this blogpost about my job hunt. Now, one year later a lot has changed and then again not so much. It's difficult to explain. But compared to one year ago, my life is completely different. From a student, I am an employee now. From a person living with mom and dad, I am living together in my own home now. But on the other hand, my life is quite consistent since last year since I am doing this job for nearly 10 months now. Even though no single day is the same, I have found a sort of rhythm and routine in my work.
As I wrote
here, I was afraid to end up in a ' classical HR job'. And well, I kind off have. Not that I have ended up here in the sense that nothing will change ever again (who knows what it will be like in two months when this year contract ends), but the job I am doing now is a classical HR job. It has aspects of employee health, sickness, prevention and everything which attracts me most, but it's only a part of the job. It's a wonderful experience to gain experience and build my network, but it's not the kind of job I want to be doing for the rest of my life. It's how I predicted. But now I know for sure as I have experienced what a classical HR job is like.
I do not want to sound ungrateful because I sure am not. I'm really grateful for the opportunities, and if I get the chance I will continue to learn from these experiences and give my best to this company. But this experience makes me realize that the work & health field, the field of my master degree, is the field I want to develop in. Especially after finding out that my classmate and thesismate is working in such a job. What a wonderful example. It's absolutely grate to have this experience and have the freedom to learn and develop. It shows me what I would like my career future to be like.
Ciao!
