Career start...
Yes, I got the job!
Yea me! Ok, hears the deal. I don't get excited and call everyone and tell everyone. I really want to see how it goes. I can say that I want to stay because Matt gave me a high recommendation so I want to stay for his sake. I'll give it my best shot and after three or so months I can settle down a bit. I guess I don't want to get my hopes up in case it doesn't work for some reason.
Oh Thank GOD! Now I don't have to go to that stupid job seekers place!
I can earn money, No Saturday work for now and even if eventually I do it's only once a month so that means that I can continue to work as a hairdresser on a Saturday and enjoy that aspect of it.
In the interview because there was so many of us we had to interview each other.
I interviewed a 20 year old girl, I got a fair amount of information out of her then she had to interview me.
When that was done we had to stand up in front of everyone and tell everyone about the person you interviewed.
"OK, I'm sorry We don't usually conduct interviews this way, but because there's so many of you... Who wants to go first?" A second pause
"I will" - I wanted to get it over with.
I had done this type of thing before. In London in front of heaps more people and it decided what ship we were to go on.
So I introduced my self and gave a speerl about the chic, then sat down.
The man who owned the business said
"I didn't know you could get so much information in that amount of time!"
I smile " That's because I'm a good listener" - got a laugh from everyone.
When I was in the second round interview, it was very comfortable.
" I'll be straight to the point with you"
"Please do" - I was hoping that she wasn't going to say anything about my lack of skills hairdressing etc.
" We have spoken to Matt and we know that you want to get into property management.
This is a reception role - We think you may want to move on sooner then later"
I was surprised " I think that working in reception will give me a better idea of how property management works and I'm looking for a career change so I look at this to be the best start -" blah blah blah
Questions were asked and I asked questions.
One girl was looking what seemed to be at my feet. I had blue socks on. Well dark navy but when I crossed my legs my pants showed a blue sock under black pants.
I pulled my trouser leg down "Yes, I've got blue socks (they laugh)I didn't think you could see them!"(I laugh)
Man who owns the shop "Guess what?"
"What?"
"I have blue socks on too!"
(All laugh) It was a good breaker and on paper may look inappropriate but in the actual interview it was fine.
So now I just have to get better and be right for Tuesday. I don't think I'll be going away for this 21st on the weekend. Priorities.
I don't want to get more sick then I already am.
I start work on Tuesday 9 till 5.30 Mon - Fri.
Last night I kept waking up. I had a bazzar dream about Prince Harry. I always have this dream. We go out and it becomes serious then the queen doesn't want me cos I'm on from good breeding, He wants to be with me and we run away together. Only the newspaper reporters would always follow and scrutinize the relationship.
Stupid dream but so recurring.
