Accepted an offer after 12 months (update)

I start on Monday after a long search. This is my first time dealing with any of this. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. What helped you in the first month?

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.

So happy for you. Thanks for giving hope to the rest of us.
