3 years of telling other people what to do
Marathons begin with hundreds of participants. The first few kilometers are easy until heat, dehydration, fatigue, lightning, open manholes, Godzilla, alien abductions ramp up the intensity and cut down on the runners. It's tough to continue for the long run. Few make it through.
Three years ago we started the first English weekly career supplement. The first forecast we received stated how we would run out of content in six months. Which is frankly impossible. This is a country full of innovative, hungry young people that take on challenges without backing down. No matter what, no one sits back. Highlighting the dreams, worries and achievements of these productive people means we never run out of content, and more importantly, inspiration.
So three years and counting.

Two and a half years working at the same place, one might expect a 20-something year-old to start getting restless. But from dreading to show my face in front of the boss because classes ended at 5 p.m. whereas he's been in the office since 12 to genuinely looking forward to coming in at the end of the day, I realise I really love what I do and it'll never feel like just work. The best part of the job? The people. The Next Step team has grown in the past years and they are what keeps me coming back for more. If there's one thing I've learned during my time here, it's that the best motivator is people who are as excited about your work as you are.
