I wanted to write a blog post that was slightly different to my others, and I would love your opinion on the matter...
In the spare time that I have, usually in the morning
between the time I arrive at the office and before our 9.00am WTF meetings, I
use my time to search up graduate job opportunities.
I have found my dream job, a major communications and media
company called Ogilvy. Many of you might have heard of it! They have a
wonderful graduate program that just sounds like the most amazing, hands-on,
knowledge gaining experience ever!!
Only problem is, it’s over east…
There are no offices in Perth.
Throughout my research I have discovered Perth is filled
with many small, start-up or boutique agencies in the public relations and
marketing sector. However, for myself personally, I am definitely a big
company, 70+ staff kinda gal. I am not a fan of small companies, I like the big
players. Maybe that’ll change over time but at the moment that is the area I
want to work in.
And I am really, really struggling to find that here in
Perth.
So what should I do? The idea of moving over east is so
exciting! It would be an amazing opportunity, and I think that whilst I have no
responsibilities, no kids, or anything holding me back, that maybe I should
move there?
But it would mean I would be leaving my life here in Perth,
and I have it pretty great. I do love Perth and I think it’s an amazing city,
however I feel it’s too small for what I want to do. Does anyone else feel this
way?
Perhaps I should come back down to earth and remind myself that if I can't find a graduate job in Perth, how would I ever be able to find a job in Sydney, or Melbourne where the competition is much, much higher?
I would love to hear back from anyone reading this! What are your thoughts? Have you felt a similar way?
