I’m a media graduate and got a job 6 months ago as a legal secretary in a law firm but now that I’ve been here for a while I don’t think it’s for me. I don’t seem to have anything in common with the other girls there, I’m not enjoying the work and I have to travel around 70 miles a day just to get there. With the price of petrol it’s hardly worth me working. On top of all this, I’ve now been offered a job in Australia for 6 months. I am worried about handing in my notice because I have only been working for the company for 6 months. I am scared that my boss will be very disappointed. Will this look bad on my CV? Am I doing the right thing and how would you advise me to go about this?
