1 Desire to work

Dear EF Members,

I want to tell that i started to this job with a huge desire to work many years.
I mean at first i was wiling to work for many years in this firm. But after a while i changed my mind.

How can i tell this thought with a good way?

"I started to the job with passion. I believed that I could work for many years in that firm." How is this?

"I believed that i can learn a lot of things about foreign trade and procurement. I was eager to improve my management skills." is this ok ?

It depends how formal/informal you want to be. Very informally: When I started the job, I was all gung-ho, but now I just slog through every day. Standard, your example with a few minor corrections: I started the job with a lot of enthusiasm (passion might not work for native speakers).
