Part One: The ProGrad Journey

February 10th, 2010 - 
As you can read here, I have recently come aboard with the ProGrad team, after completing one of their assessment days. You can read about my experience with ProGrad’s assessment day here.

Being a recent University graduate myself I have found that the transition from University to full time work takes some time getting used to!

I will be sharing my experiences about working on the ProGrad team, the transition process and the delights and struggles of working full time.

You are more than welcome to contribute by commenting and letting me know if you have had similar experiences or how you are coping with full time work after University. Is it what you expected?

Make sure you look out for PART TWO of my ProGrad journey.
