Living and working it!
You're doing amazing!
Feeling excited, relieved, happy and even a little nervous when you land a new job is very normal. But give yourself a big pat on the back for now, take a breather and then get ready for the main event – your new job!
This section also includes mindfulness and financial information that will help you on your career and life journey. It’s important to maintain work/life balance and look after YOU and that includes self-care and time for reflection. Find fee-free short courses and job postings here too.
