I got the call of a job offer for a position I wanted and called Rob with the Big News. He had some of his own - setting the date for his retirement!
2020 will definitely be a year of new horizons.
I really wanted a new gig and had my eyes open. This is a secondment with the same employer, as a lateral move. The new team's mission is compelling - to save $1B a year + add value to citizens + support business and cut red tape. I heard the Director speak and was inspired. A couple weeks later I saw the job ad for a Change Management specialist and applied. Within weeks I was called to prepare a presentation for the interview. Two days after submitting the presentation by the deadline, I was called to interview. Normally the recruitment process takes 3-4 months so this is lightning speed for government. Likely lots of storming and norming ahead, as this is a new branch, new unit and brand new team. I am looking forward to the momentum.
Rob's retirement has been on the horizon for awhile now but now seems more of a reality with a set date. Not too far away!
