Oh, Haus, I'm sad to hear that this is finally becoming more real for you, and it doesn't really make it any better that it's been on the cards for a while now. At least though when the news does come, it'll be an end to the uncertainty.
Go for it on the CV thing. Sure you've probably got the requisite equipment at home, but there is no time like the present to get that info down on paper. It's one less thing to do later, when it could possibly be harder to do.
The other thing is to see it as the opportunity Ariadne describes and have a really good think about what you would like to be paid for doing. And maybe even create a four layer structure along the lines of: a) that which you would never do for money, ever, ever, ever; b) that which you will do for money, if you have to, for as long as it takes to find something better; c) what would be vaguely pleasant to do and wouldn't break your head/heart but still isn't quite perfect; d) the dream job.
Once you've got those parameters you have a framework to bounce around in and it makes it easier to pick or discard jobs/opportunities as they cross your path. It's not rocket science, and you probably know all of this in a vague sort of way, but if you can give it a go, then you are adding fuel to your journey ahead rather than starting with a half empty tank.
Good Luck an' all! |
