29/03/2024: One of the most beautiful "republican palaces" in a neoclassical style. France has a history and heritage of which the French can be proud. If it is permissible to question the somewhat outdated magnificence of certain seats of authority, and to prefer the more modern, more sober and more functional dimension of other similar places, it remains necessary to establish a certain height in the representation.
When I worked in the office of the Deputy Mayor in charge of City Policy and Solidarity Commitment, I notably organized a national volunteer day in the state rooms. In the presence of the large associative family, the beauty of the interiors contributed to the success of this day.
At the Ministry of Health, a city within a city, where I moved a year later, the offices were more operational. At the end of my contract and my full commitment, having notably written a report on respect for the rights of users of the health system validated at the plenary assembly, I was offered the vacant position of secretary general of the National Conference of Health, advisory body. I was flattered when I was offered this job as a senior civil servant, but my status would then have been that of a somewhat precarious contract worker, the rule in the civil service being competitive status. My bosses suspected that I was considering this path and were not surprised by my polite refusal.
After my accident and my recovery, I also received proposals, from the management of the National Fund for Solidarity and Autonomy and within a firm in Bercy but I wanted to go to the end of the line that I had set for myself and my objectives, which was perfectly understood and encouraged by my interlocutors. I knew that there was a possibility that I would not pass a specific competition but I assumed that then, in due course, I would apply for new jobs. In my field, where commitments can span a lifetime, it is not uncommon for certain blossoming to occur a little late, as a "late bloomer". My mentors have always encouraged me to work on the substance that “distinguishes meteoric careers from impactful careers in the long term”.
It also took me time to reconnect with my fundamentals which matured and evolved after my accident. I spent almost a year in the hospital, mainly due to initial problems with the equipment. It is long and quite destabilizing, despite the visits, the great professionalism of the medical team and the bond between patients. It took me another year after my release to fully get back on my feet and find my bearings and projects, stimulated in particular by a newfound social life. I started a little too quickly down another path that I liked on paper but didn't really correspond to my aspirations. False start. I waited and later resumed at the dedicated Sciences-Po center, which supported me very favorably, the preparation of a competition that I had tried to see for the first time in 2015 before being interrupted. I wanted to go back and face the challenge and my possible fears. I ironed it twice. Three failures are not uncommon in this competition. The term failure is not really appropriate because it was a lot gained. Other small commitments have also occurred in recent years. From now on, I am preparing to keep my word and find a job that suits me, without regret and with the satisfaction of having given everything. Even if it is not completely in the mold, due to obvious cuts, I still have a nice CV and, coupled with work on preparing topics, current at this level to be able to advise well, I plan to find a mission soon.
