I've been offered a really great starting position pending reference checks - should find out 100% for sure by early next week depending on how much difficulty the guy has getting a hold of my references (which I have informed him he might because it's a very hectic time of year around 2 of the offices I used to work in).

The position is administrative and entry level, but we already discussed career development, upward mobility and even transferability (they have multiple offices across Canada) in my interview a couple of weeks ago. It seems like a great company that I can really picture myself growing with. It's an engineering and environmental sustainability consulting firm that has a number of government contracts as well as private sector clients. It seems like a great fit for me, even if it doesn't directly utilize my degree.

It's a huuuuuuuuge weight off my shoulders, that's for sure! Looks like the shitty luck that seems to have haunted my first few months of 2011 is coming to an end. *knock on wood*
