I HAVE A JOB!!!

Post by AndrewA »

Yes folks after years of trying to find work, I finally succeeded. Customer service advisor with XXXXX, start in January. :grin:

Past 6 months have been frustrating, the voluntary work I did obviously worked due to number of interested parties, including local council, but despite blowing them away with my practical telephone role play, they said I had not got the job because someone scored an couple of extra points in the interview stage, yes pull the other one.

HOwever xxx on other hand were equally impressed and said how brilliant I was in all stages of the assessments. Feedback via job centre advisor, who works closely witg xxx in running recruitment sessions at job centre, is outstanding and they are expecting better things for me, advisor said that he would be very surprised if I was in same role this time next year. Aparently the fail rate is very high in the recruitment and selection process, so yes I am over the moon and just so excited, best thing to happen to me for years, well apart from solving the Brickwall of WIlliam James HEATH :lol:

16k start, with various bonuses and rewards. I already have made a list of 50+ certificates to order lol

WOW I am so excited!

Hit a Brickwall? Have you lost all trace of someone? Do not despair, simply make a note they were abducted by aliens! Don't believe in aliens? No problem, just write them off as having disapeared in a time portal

Some point during the week commencing the 12th Jan. I wish it was next week though. Just been told that xxx want to do a good news promotion story for thier magazine, so I will be photographed with various big-wigs from xxxs and one of my advisors from Job Centre, my main advisor she also wants to submit an article to the job centre magazine as well.

Bit cringworthy seeing myself in photos, hate it, but I will have to have this done, if I back out it will just be too negative, I will be a party pooper and my reputation tarnished! Another point is that at least people through the organisation will know me, I will stick out , well my stomach sticks out a mile, but you know what I mean!

This could be important due to the subtle hints being dropped about my ability and potential, that I will most likely be fast tracked into some kind of managerial or supervisor role.
