      That's a good amount of experience. Sure, anyone would be mad not to hire you :)

      No plans yet for definite, other than a new job, hopefully. I may or may not have an interview on Wednesday, but I've to wait for a call back from the recruitment agent. Hopefully I can get a couple more exams out of the way, but I would need the holiday as well.

      Have you many more exams to do....the stress of it

      Five. The one I've been trying to get has been the most difficult, and it's a known fact that it's the most difficult of the papers I've to do. There are two easier ones that I should have done first, but this one looked attractive to me, which is why I decided to do it. I didn't know at the time that it was the hardest, but I stuck with it. Now, I need a break from it to concentrate on getting the others.

      For the two easier ones, I can either take them both together or one at a time (i.e. one exam in June and the other in December), or do both in June. Many students seem to take one and another subject, or just do the two together. The subject I had been doing has the same workload as the two easier ones combined.

      I've a few years to qualify, including relevant work experience, of which I have a little over two, but feel I need to cover more areas. Then the exams, which I could take my time with, but I'd much prefer to have them done ASAP. Some places do increase salaries after each exam is passed, but it's not the case in my current place, or perhaps a number of other places.

      The hardest part really is combining the work and study. If I had taken these exams directly after I got my degree, I probably would have just focused on those and got the work later. But, I spent longer getting my degree due to illness and having to resit subjects here and there, so getting the work at this stage and getting a decent salary is important too.

      Hello in here. How's everyone... I got a match at a Speed-dating Night and so I messaged him to say hello and he looked at my account and hasn't replied. Sucks. :(

      Evening all :)

      Well, I had a job interview today, which went fine, I hope. The place seemed like somewhere I'd really like to work. There was a great atmosphere. I won't know whether I got it or not until some time next week. Such a thing would make a great start to 2016.

      Welcome to the forum, Lisa :)

      I'm 29, and I do know the pressure of exams. I've been doing ACCA, but have been trying to get one particular subject. Due to not having had proper time off since 2013, I took the last three/four months of this year off to just relax after a hard day at the office, and to take a few days here and there. But, back to the books in February.

      Anyway, Christmas is upon us. I nearly lost the will to live Christmas shopping earlier. I thought I was early this year with it, but obviously not. I don't have much more to do anyway, so a couple of hours in town on Saturday will be just fine :)

      How is everyone? Things have been quiet enough here of late.
