As the year comes to a close we sat down to chat about the year that was and talk about a topic that we a sure a-lot of people will be facing in the upcoming weeks as they begin new roles in the new year.

Moving for Work.

We talk a-lot both of our experiences moving for work so far and what these experiences have meant for not only our professional careers but our lives in general. You see it's not always easy moving to a new place and trying to fit in with a new team and our company culture. Everyone has their own way of doing things and it seems that the further you go the more this comment holds true.

On the graduate rotation side of things I (Jack) feel like I might have the process wired now as I finish up my third rotation in less than 2 years. I wanted to try and give an overview of my experiences to date with moving for a graduate rotation and what that meant for me. I tried my hardest in this podcast to cover not only the great advantages of moving for work but also the challenges you might face when moving and some ideas on how you might want to tackle them.

Whilst on the other hand I myself (Ryan) have had a similar, yet, different experience with my recent secondment to Melbourne. Whilst in essence we both moved for work the concept and strategic company planning behind these two different company moves is different. I have definitely embraced my current secondment and have become a massive advocate for secondments in general, always encouraging anyone who gets the opportunity to grasp it with two hands. I mean when else can you bounce between different companies in short periods of time and not piss anyone off in the process? To me that kind of (free) experience is just invaluable.

This will be our last episode for 2018 and we cannot wait to hit the ground running in 2019. We have massive plans for next with upcoming collaborations, additional content and lots more that we hope will make it easier for you our audience get access to us, our guests and the value that we really want to give back to this amazing community. Have a fantastic and well deserved Christmas break and we look forward to speaking to you all next year.

Regards,

Jack Aubort and Ryan Loomans.
