On a lighter note…

Part two

So here’s the lighter news…

Whilst I was waiting to hear back about the perfect job I got a call for another interview. I was stupidly hopeful about the first job, so I brushed it off, figuring I would ring them and let them know I had found a job and wouldn’t be attending.

But I didn’t get it.

I sat in the car after the bad news and braced myself that I was going to have to continue searching. I figured I may as well attend the job interview, as it was so close to my home, and experience is experience. Just one hitch: I couldn’t find the job advertisement! I didn’t even know what the job I was applying for was!

So I rang the company, I figured I may as well, I was never going to get a job, I had no reason to. I got the details.

The following day I attended the interview, I was interviewed by a lovely woman, who would become my boss, and the manager of the company, he did not seem at all impressed! I found the interview tough, he wasn’t impressed that I lacked experience, and it was in a similar field to the “perfect job”, so my emotions were still raw. But I gave it my all.

Oh no, he pointed out I had missed a page on the application form. Well they’re not going to hire a moron who can’t fill out an application form!

They asked me to stay around for an hour to see what the job would be doing, I had nothing to lose, so I did.

I got to see the massive pile of application forms, all these people, going for the same job as me. Well I’ve just wasted my time.

Time was up, she told me she had more people to interview and that I would know next week. That was on Friday.

I went to my Grandma’s to do some baking and whilst I was waiting for my cinnamon roles to bake I got a call from the interviewer. That was great, she’d already decided I wasn’t right for the job and now I was going to get rejected in front of my Grandma!

“Hi, thanks for coming this morning. I’d like to offer you the job, if you’re interested?”

Are you kidding? I got it! I actually got it!

I start tomorrow and I am so nervous! I need luck please! PLEASE send me all your luck!

Interview time!

Just after I wrote my last post I was offered an interview.

I attended it today, they have been interviewing for the position for two and a half months and there is more than one position available.

Throughout the interview my interviewer bought up that they’re looking for someone with experience, which brings me to this – you knew I didn’t have experience when you invited me for an interview. If you want someone with experience then why did you ask me for the interview?!

It was the best interview I’ve been through, and it feels like I really nailed every question I was asked.

But am I the candidate they’re looking for? I don’t think so.

I really needed this. I need to work to feel valuable, to get a car, to save to move out, to help support my family.

Just gave me a couple of days of false hope.

I’m gutted.
