In July, I was moved to a different account as Payroll Practitioner to which I have no experience in. But it's okay because I'm sure I'm going to be trained, which they did.

During the interview, I was told that the account's contract will end December but since I'm part of the tax team, we may be extended until February or March next year. Now when October came, a team meeting was set regarding the status of the account and where we will be moved after the end of the contract. I was surprised that I was the one they let go even if there was someone who came later (after me). And they said that it's 'first-in, first-out' for the members. So, why am I being released instead of the newer one who doesn't have any experience yet? They gave me reasons which I personally didn't accept. I decided to just leave it as it is and waited for interviews from other account.

Well, my patience paid. I was interviewed for another account, still as Payroll Practitioner. And what do you know? It was actually a good thing I was let go. The account I am currently in provided proper training and I passed all the certification with high scores. Yes, I was certified. My account access was given a week after I joined the team, and the bosses and the members are all so accommodating and welcoming. They, being so welcoming and supportive, motivated me more to do well in the tasks given to me.

Patience is a virtue, indeed.
