Today, I handed my notice in at work.
After passing an online test I attended and interview and a further factory tour a few weeks ago. On Tuesday evening I was offered the position of Quality Assurance Technician at apetito. It is a highly recommended international company that produce ready meals for the elderly and hospitals. It has the investors in people award and trains all it's staff to a high standard. So I am hoping to gain some real experience there.
I am really sad to leave Choc On Choc, I have been there for 7 years this month, and I'm leaving because I have been suffering with Tendinitis Type Two for a few years (a work related repetitive strain injury) and it's getting worse, so it is time to move on and begin a new chapter in life. I'm nervous about it, it's a big change, and I've been in the same company since I left college and this is all very new to me. I have fears of being bad at my new role, or not passing the HACCP tests (food hygiene). I'm scared I'll feel isolated and lonely in such a huge, loud place where no-one speaks and I'll be working relatively by myself. All probably irrational fears and concerns.
The up sides will be new friends, higher income, Christmas bonus, annual pay rise, sick pay, and although it'll kill me to begin with, a 6-2 shift, which will enable me to work on my other projects in the afternoons.
So all in all a good move, a positive step forward, and a new life.
