I'm always a bit weary about mentioning anything to do with work, as either my colleagues may read it and be offended, or I'll run into some legal issues. But on this occasion I think I'll be safe - the only worrying thing is if my colleagues read this prior to finding out in a staff meeting...
Anyway, I applied for a Web Designer job a fortnight ago - Thursday 29th March to be precise. The job application process involved an Agency who took my CV and passed it onto the employer if they felt it was worth a read. On the Friday I had both a missed call and several emails from the Agency, asking me if I could attend an Interview on the following Monday. However, I was so caught up in work, finishing off an ICT Suite that I didn't catch the messages until that evening - by which time, Monday morning was too close to take time off.
Luckily, I was able to re-arrange the Interview for the Thursday as I was off to see Ricky Gervais anyway.
To cut a long story short (as it's already becoming long), by about 11am I was offered the job, having arrived at the premises for 9am. After some deliberation I accepted it - as it was a big decision moving employer, especially as they had been so supportive.
So, on Tuesday May 8th I begin working as a Web Designer for IOCEA/CShop - turning a dream job role into a reality!
