Starting a new job

Posted by: madisonlane on: October 18, 2010

I’m happy that I’m starting a new job so I can advance in my accounting career.  However, this will be a new experience since I don’t have much IT audit experience.  I’m willing to learn and grasp new knowledge :)

My goals for this job:

  • Stay until I become a senior associate whether it takes me 1-2 years.
  • Manage my stress better this time around since it’s Big Four.  However, it’s not financial audit – more IT audits :)  
  • Maintain being humble and not open my mouth before thinking of consequences
  • If not working, must meet with family and friends. 
  • Stay on task and being more effective and efficient as possible
  • Pass the CISA exam within a year
  • If in stressed mode, express concerns to teams

Hopefully setting these goals I am able to manage and control my stress level and workload.  By setting goals, I can see what I need to achieve for this career. 

Staying positive about finding the right job does help.  I went on 30+ interviews trying to seek something better in industry; however, I come back into Big Four.  My ambition to go the sky limit is still here so I’ll give it another try.  :)   I have to say for job seekers – know that you have value and worth going into an interview.  At times, there are times to take a lower pay grade when there is a home mortgage and children to think about.  Don’t let interviewers intimidate the fact that they think you are incapable of doing a good job!  When you are the best of the best :)

I havent been listening to much new korean music since my laptop was down for the past week.  I knew I had to reinstall or repair Windows.  In the end, I had to re-install Windows on my laptop.  I’m proud of myself of accomplishing such a big task LOL!  Now it’s just re-install alot of the other software onto the laptop.
