Finally, I get a job…

I know that some of you may have seen Kelly’s email home yesterday and before I get another lecture from Robert, I was actually waiting till next week to blog (once the contract had been signed) that I finally have found employment in London.

I’ve been temping for the last few weeks at Southeastern Railway as a PA to the Engineering Director but on Thursday, so it hasn’t totally been a life of eating one can of baked beans a day and watching Oprah but it feels pretty good. And what makes it even better is this could be described as my dream job.

I’m going to be working in the International PR department for Fremantle Media. It's a new role, it is junior but I'll be working with some of the big names in PR and they will be mentoring me. Fremantle is an international company and we'll be handling international PR so there's going to be travel involved and it's somewhere I can really grow and start to develop my career (God! I've just realised how naff that last sentence sounds. Well, it's true).

I really like the company (they have two yoga classes a day at the office and free canteen!), I really, really like the Director of PR (who will be my direct boss) and I"m really, really excited. I actually had to sit down at Southwark when they rang me to re-capture my breath.

It's based at Tottenham Court Rd (near Oxford St), which is a 40 minute walk from my house so I will probably still walk to work and it's across the road from the British Film Institute where some of my friends work. I will start in about 10 days...

So I think that brings you all up to speed. I'm looking forward to the 6am phone call tomorrow from you all at Alice and Jack's family day.

Oh - and Aunty Robert, you may think this is a private communication channel between you and Kelly but there are other's of us who read it (and just forget the login and can't comment). If you'd send me your email address - you too can be on my international PR mailing list :P
