So, I was contacted a few months ago by a specialist head hunter, recruiting for executives etc.
I was asked to join a large mining Company. I thought about it, as I am honestly planning to slow down and get ready to semi retire and get away from so much action and stress etc. I have been in almost every industry there is in Canada, no exaggerating, and this will be 3rd stint in mining, different positions.
Not complaining, I have worked hard from a shovel, maybe even the guy that hands the shovel to the shoveller...Very bottom.
Worked my way through the ranks, one step at a time.
I graduated at 15 yrs old, and began my career with a work permit signed by my parents.
On Friday late afternoon, I signed on as Director of Operations and Maintenance and in charge of 5 mine sights and the people there.
I have 2 folks in chain of command above me now. President and the CEO.
I can't tell anyone as I am putting in my notice where I currently am working, and they will be upset, but it is the way it is. So I can't say shit until I return from vacation next week.
I had to tell someone as I am pretty excited.
So this hopefully will be my final job for my career, and I believe I can make some awesome changes as that is what I do. I have a unique style and am very approachable, I am not your typical "The man" type leader and they are looking to bring my style in and let er buck...lol
I am different at work on the job than I am at home, out with my buds and on the boards of course. Otherwise I would be in an institution somewhere. I don't like that I cannot be 100% myself, but I am different than many....So I want to get career over and done someday in near future, then pull the pin and do what I want , when I want, way up in the bush somewhere...
Thanks for reading.
