Thanks GF

It's my dream job so my next dilemma is  - can I go part time & freelance for a while ?

For somebody who hates decisions & uncertainty I don't half make my life complicated

Well done PeterD. Got my interview on 3rd...

Come on - spit it out - how did it go??

[Katster]

The interview today went really well! I answered all questions fully and wasn't shy/nervous like I usually am in situations like that.

I recently had a training session at work which I found very useful, I think it's had some sort of lasting effect on me confidence wise which is great stuff really.

The job I applied for sounds amazing and very 'me', fingers crossed I get it, I'm fairly confident

Do we get a wish for posting the same time about the same thing?

Fingers crossed for you.  What is it doing & when will you know?

I got a tip from a very good friend of mine.  The answers do count, but it's the confidence which gets you remembered when they're making their final decision - handy if it's a close one.

It's working as a Youth Support Worker. Day to day I'm still not 100% sure what that entails but basically I am there to help and support young people.

If we get a wish for posting at the same time, I wish to get this job, it would be good for me

I hope you get it!

I've been in my new job for 6 weeks now and I finally feel I've got one I really enjoy. My boss told me last night that I gave a near perfect interview, which put a smile on my face.

Fingers crossed! I'm now job hunting in the Child Services area, so that kinda job is the thing I'm after too! Hope you have good news soon.

Nice one, I usually hate new jobs for about 3 months as I don't know what I'm doing around the processes of a new service. Hate feeling like a spare part, especially that 1st week where you're grinning at everybody & being nice as you don't want to put your foot in it.  It's just not natural for me

Hope you find what you're looking for.  You're a brave lady too.     

When you do you'll be glad you didn't get that last job

Nah, I still have every faith that with a bit of guidance and support the majority of today's yoof are good people. I got all cynical in the past but realise that without the help and support I got as a kid/teenager I'd probably have been quite a handful myself.......I still am I guess, but I don't bother anyone else in the process  


Good luck Bunique
