Job interview
Long story short. Hubby and I are back to square one financially. No assets due to losing the business due to me being unable to manage it, etc etc. I spoke to a friend older than me who had just lost everything due to different reasons and two years later they have bought a home. So here we go. On Monday we have an interview to get back into the industry I said I would never return to. Hopefully chemo brain doesn’t kick in during our interview. I can just picture the look on the employers face when they ask me what I would do with a difficult customer and the only answer I can come up with is either “shoot them” or “tell them to get over it”.
If this one doesn’t pan out we have another four resumes we have sent out. This ones response was immediate. We only sent in the application last weekend and they rang Tuesday requesting an interview.
I just have to keep telling myself I can do it. Breathe. Move forward. Admire the scenery. Breathe. Move forward. Repeat

- Dear oh dear! What happened to common courtesy?
Best wishes - Too many people are total shits. Particularly when they have the power to hire and fire. It's trite to say you wouldn't want to work for them anyway. But it's probably true. MXX
- Pfft. So much for ringing one way or another. We applied for other positions this weekend. If they say they are going to ring, then they should.
- Good news - nice to have options. Isn't the whole employment saga so hard these days ? All the computerized psych tests as well as several interviews - and then they only offer casual work after. OMG. Life used to much easier - and prospective employers used to acknowledge receipt of applications and advise if unsuccessful, none of the hanging on waiting like now. We look forward to hearing how you both get on.
- Keep dreaming. It's great to have options.
Well done on getting to stage 2 with the first one, and then getting another interview from another application - Another interview tomorrow. Again, we sent our resume in on the weekend and they rang today. The first lot will ring us tomorrow at the latest to let us know if we proceed on to stage two. In the meantime, hubby is also waiting for his second interview elsewhere as he already passed stage one. They will probably all come at once and we will have to decide. 😁I am dreaming!
- Fingers & toes crossed, if I could! ;) xx
- Good luck. Hope things go the way you want them to - or if not, hope something better comes your way.
- Interview went well. We will know by the start of next week (or before) whether we go to stage two.
- Good luck! :smile:
