I havent mentioned on here yet that I applied for a job as a fundraiser for the Cats Protection a week ago. It all came about so fast, the week before last I applied, I then received a phone call and had a consultation on what the job would involve. I was then invited for interview last monday, I was told to meet them in a local hotel. On monday though I had a phone call from nursery saying little madam needed to be collected because they had found signs of headlice (grrrr) and she had also fallen off a chair. The other halfs work were really good and allowed the other half to take his lunch break whilst I had my interview so that he could watch little madam.
The interview went really well and I felt really confident about it throughout and after. He said to me that the only thing letting me down was that I couldnt drive which may prove to be a problem, so it was probably going to be between me and someone else who can drive but are not as enthusiastic as me...The man said I would hear back within a day or so. It put me on edge everytime the phone rang I was suprised at how nervous I was to receive the call from them. The majority of calls I received within those next few days were from the other half asking if I had got the job!! By Wednesday I still hadn't heard from them and so had to face facts that I perhaps hadnt got the job. Even the other half shook his head and said no it doesn't look as though you got it but it was a good interview and you should hold onto that.
I was suprisingly gutted. I went to my weekly councelling on the Thursday and told him that I had missed out on a job because I couldnt drive and that I was determined that week to get in the car and face my fear.
When I got home I looked in a last ditch attempt at the phone to see if there were any missed calls which there didn't appear to be. Towards the end of the day I went to use the phone and before I dial in a number if there is a message on there the tone sounds higher pitched. I was really suprised that there was a message and I hadn't realised so I listened to it and to my suprise it was the people from the job asking me to ring back and they 'looked forward to talking to me later' I rang back then and there and they were really pleased to offer me the job and have invited me to do my training this Thursday!! It was such a nice suprise. The other half was estatic! It will certainly take the pressure off him financially.
