Have a beer on me...

Post by Beer Jew »

I just landed a sweeeettt graduate position at one of the top asset consultancy firms in the world. I'm currently finishing my second year of uni, and after spending the last five months writing probably 60+ job applications, and attending over 20 interviews, I finally landed a position with the company I wanted most.

I'll spend a year working with them in between my second and third year of uni, (so starting this september), and then I'll do my final year, and provided I pass the degree, I get a graduate job offer. Given todays job climate, this is like the biggest weight ever has been lifted off my chest.

I don't want to say anything about the firm at the moment obviously, but I'll be working for them as a Project Manager, particularly focusing on their construction side of the business. Out of 11,000 applicants, they interviewed 6 people, including another person on my course, and out of those 6, I was given the position. I'm excited, nervous and incredibly grateful to whoevers up there looking out for me.

Have a beer on me tonight. If I ever meet you fuckers I'll pay for the beer.

You have one beer tonight on each member of IGx. I'm sure if any of us meet you in the future, we'll each pay for one.
Congratulations!

Well done. I remember that feeling. All the sweeter after rejections! You clearly earned it over many years' toil. Congrats. Enjoy it. It's a milestone.
It's great to be first at last

Congrats! Beer drunk.

Never tell us who you work for or anything that can trace them to your persona here. We don't need to know, bro. Press on.

Well done, but don't tell this place everything about your life, It's not as if they care.
