Title: Finally landed myself a job!
Post by: fingerpaints on September 16, 2014, 05:03:15 PM: Its been a couple of months of being jobless, about a month of not being able to actively look due to being hospitalized with a nasty infection and recovery, but ive beenttrying so hard to find something.

I just started a course in training and assessment yesterday, and I had a call from a director I had completed a couple of trial days with to offer me a position. As she understood I had just started the new course and needed tuesdays off for the next eleven weeks, she offered me a permanent four day week on a casual basis until I completed the course, which will be perfect for me as ill be on about the same money dropping the day a week casual rates as I would be full time. Im also studying my bachelor in education (early childhood).

I start monday, and im so excited about it. As ive already done a couple of days, I know what to expect. Just so happy to have a job! Im sick of being flat broke lol.

I totally know the feeling of being jobless (I've been working at my current job for almost a year now after not having a job for a few years) and it sucks big time, especially that part about having no money...oh man. But the thrill of getting hired after months and months of looking is wonderful!

I hope you enjoy your new job! :good:

Thankfully the new place has a nice bunch of girls, its smaller and more intimate than the last place, and not run by a huge company trying to profit. The director owns it and she is a lovely lady. I am very grateful for this opportunity.
