    2 Weeks Left

    Just thought i would let anyone who is interested that about 2 or 3 weeks ago i had an interview for a university local to myself for position of IT Tech and i had been offered the job.
    My school knows and i have handed my resignation in and all the contract forms are all signed and ready for me to start on the 16th June.

    I am very excited and kind of sad at the same time, i have been working in my school for nearly 4 years now, i liked the job but as you all know schools and IT have there issues and i have wanted to get out.

    This job pay is far greater for roughly the same amount of work. But again thats schools for you.

    I guess i will be nervous about everything being different but thats life.

    I will still be on here as often as possible. Wish me luck.

    Well done mate, I know you had a load of grief at your old place from reading on here. I'm sure you'll love your new role. Good luck and don't be a stranger

    Congrats on the new job, sure you'll like it. The best thing about working at a College/Uni is the team that you work in

    Sweet work mate. I felt the same way coming here from another school after six years. Believe me though the change alone is worth it.

    Have fun!

    Have you posted a Heads Up on your old job in the jobs forum? or would you not recommend it...?

    Thanks everyone, i am looking forward to working as part of a team who have similar interests.

    I know it is a bigger step up but i think if i can survive here as i have i should be ok there.

    Of course i will still be on here, my future colleagues may already be on here. If not i will definitely let them know.
