It may not sound much to you, but for me it's quite a big thing.. I start on wednesday with the first of three induction sessions. :nervous:

I was starting to think that I was unemployable.!

Geez, who would have thought that you had no confidence??? You write some of the best hacks here!!!

I can totally relate though... I have been out of work due to a back injury for close to 3 months now. I am in the process of filing bankruptcy. Problem is I own a business so no work = no money......

I am starting to slowly to work again but I have barley any clients anymore..... I have lost almost all of my posessions in the last 3 months and my relationship with my wife and family is hanging by a thread.... anyhow-- I can totally relate and I congratulate you on employement....

PM me if you ever want to talk.... We have much in common...
