  • Who's got a job?

    Me. Me. I have a job!

    I was called Monday evening by a guy who knew my name, but I couldn't place his voice. He identified himself, and I couldn't place the name. Then he mentioned his wife, with whom I worked ages ago, and it clicked.

    He wanted to know if I'd like a part-time job (25 hours a week). Well, yes, of course! He asked me to send him my CV. I did so that night. You see, he'd asked around for someone qualified to do this job, and a friend who once worked with me recommended me. His wife gave him a second recommendation.

    The following day, Tuesday, he confirmed that he had received my email. A few hours later, I got an email from the head of the HR department in his company, asking me if I could come for an interview on Thursday.

    The interview took two hours. Most of it was a test. He came in at the end of the test, thanked me again, and walked me out.

    Today, I got an email from him telling me that I had done well on the test. About an hour later, I got an email from the head of the HR department, with an enclosure that was a work agreement!

    The job is in a beautiful old building downtown that was once the residence of a noble family. I have a view. I mean, a VIEW! And benefits. Yes. They may ask me to stay longer on any given day if the workload is heavy, and that's just fine with me.

    I had been just scraping by. Now, I can pay my debts! I can DO things!

    Yay me!

      You didn't tell me that. What kind of job is it?

                    YES! And it happened so quickly, from an entirely unexpected source!

                        And this, boys and girls, is why you don't burn bridges (as so many of our co-irkers seem bent on) if you can help it.

                        'grats Eireann, hope it's a good fit for you.
