I got a job at last!

I've been looking for full time work for the last couple of years, sometimes applying for more than 20 jobs a week, sometimes not applying for any for up to 2 weeks. I've lost count of how many I've applied for, from data entry to retail, to ranger assistant to library assistant. I've had all sorts of application and CV advice, including not mentioning I started my own business, but it never seemed to work. I've had 2 interviews in 2 years 8O

Last week I had an interview for a data entry clerk. The lady narrowed it down to 3 of us, but decided to give the job to someone else. I was disappointed but consoled myself with the fact that it was a minimum wage/ school leaver position anyway, and I could probably do better than that. A few days ago I had a call saying the lady who interviewed me had put me forward for another position in the same company, but under a different boss. I had the interview and found out the 1st lady I saw thought I was too good for that position and this second one was more interesting. Today I went back for a second interview and they offered me the job! The money is a bit more reasonable and they provide all the training. Best of all, it's a 7 minute drive from my house and the hours are Mon-Thurs 8.30-4.30 and finishing an hour early on Fridays. NO WEEKENDS!! I'm over the moon as I have wanted an office job for ages so that I will have energy to cycle with Ru when I get home!

From Monday I will be a Purchasing Assistant :banana: :-D

WHAT GREAT NEWS CASSIE
Thanks everyone- I'm feeling the support over here :hearts:

My first day went well once I got over my nerves. The guy I'm replacing is leaving in 2 weeks so I have a little time to pick things up. I had no idea there are so many components that go into making beds 8O If I get the orders wrong, production will stop and the company will lose thousands of pounds per minute.... no pressure!!

Yesterday I saw the Quality Control guy, he had made a small mattress 2ft x 2ft just to set fire to. I almost asked if he could make one 5x5 for Rufus :mrgreen:

Gawd, that'd do my head in. Definitely no pressure. Sounds like you are handling it like a champ. :clappurple: :clappurple:

Maybe they could branch out into top of the range dog beds. You could offer to be the initial tester for them, you know comfort, durability etc. :D
Haha! Today I started to get the hang of a couple of things. I've not worked a whole week for 4 years, so I'm struggling a bit. HOW can it not be Friday yet??! It's so tempting to have a nap with all those beds everywhere :pupeyes:
