Yesterday i had a telephone interview for a job, i hate doing them, it just not the same as seeing people face to face. I thought i had totally fluffed it but i got a telephone call from the agent yesterday late afternoon saying they want to see me for a proper interview next Thursday :D :banana: :D

Which is really good.

you're the one bocky :headbang:
 
Well Friday seemed to go quite well, the interview lasted 2 hours :shock: I quite enjoyed it even though some of it was quite intense. Just a bit of a nightmare with all the traffic problems getting up to Gloucester :roll:

Still there we go, i think they have someone else to interview so we'll see what happens. I just got another phone call about a Job in Bristol for AXA Tec, which would be great cos its really easy to get to. They want me to do a half day assessment :shock: :shock: :shock:

What's wrong with these people? Maybe they think i've been spending too much time in me pants and socks :?

Well that's good news anyway, as Bristol would be better than Gloucester and the money is similar, less travel the better really :)

So things are looking quite positive, apart from the fact the washing machine has packed up and i've got to take a load of stuff down to me folks so they can do it, then tidy up the house so that the washing machine repair Man/Lady can get to it :roll:

Still, not to much to complain about it guess :)
 
Well today i went for an interview for a Change and Configuration Managers Position with Capita Life and Pensions in Gloucester. Bit of a drag to get up there and get to the office, but that's mainly cos the A46 is still closed after Stroud.

So i got up there ok and did got to the interview for 3:30pm. They went through me CV and asked me a load of questions and wanted some examples of stuff, the usual nonsense really. Then we got in to s bit more depth and asked me to provide some solutions to a few issues they have, come up with a few ideas and stuff, so i waffled away and told them what i thought and the interview rolled on. The interview finished and they said they had a couple more people to interview and they'd hope to get back to me within a week.

Well i left the office about 4pm and got straight in me car to scoot off home, i pottered back and had a bit of a nose around Tetbury in the way home. I'd always been told it was lovely, really proper Cotswoldy type town, and it is very nice, then i carried on back home. I had a phone call on the way back but i didn't pick it up as i was driving.

So i got home about and was just settled down with a cold beer when i got a phone call from the agent! Basically Capita decided they didn't need to interview anyone else and they offered me the job at the salary i'd asked for and everything :shock: :shock: :shock:

LOL LOL LOL :banana: :banana: :banana:

So that's great news and i'm really chuffed. There is a little issue in that they are moving the office to Cheltenham,so initially a little way to go, but i think we might move north of Bath (possibly Tetbury!) as its probably easier for Miss_Bocky. Anyway, there's another slight issue, i have an assessment day with AXA next wednesday, and i'd really like to see what the 'vibe' there is like. The AXA job is in Bristol, so it just up the road, so no need to move really and the money would probably be similar.

So i said to the agent that it was brilliant and i really liked the idea of taking in the challenge. But i also said i would like to see what AXA have to say so i can make a really informed decision. So its good news, as long as they can wait for me. Hopefully by Wednesday i will have a feel about AXA then i can make a decision...........i hope........that is unless they dude who put me forward for the Vehicle Operating Standards Agency comes back to me and says they want to see me.......that would throw a right spanner in the works !!!!


So it's kind of good news but also a bit awkward :?

(Then there's the other job with Lincoln Financial who have told the agent they haven't seen anyone more suited to their job role than me at the moment, so they may make me an offer tomorrow :? :| :?

Decisions decisions :x

Thanks, at last the effort has paid off, i don't have to tell you guys i was worried about being able to get back in to something, its been a bit of a challenge, but also been a kick up the bum and a confidence builder, so that's good :)

:grouphug:
 
Made my phone call to accept this job offer this morning so that's all good :) I'm due to start 17/09/2007.

So now i have a little bit of time to service the car (wonder how much longer it will last :| ), get a couple of new shirts etc, which is nice. So i've had a day of sorting really, lost me mobile as well so i am going to try and get that resolved by the end of the week :roll:


So i got home this afternoon and checked me hotmail account, got a few bits to go through and discovered and email from a lady at Dyson about a job :err:

They want me to go in for an interview on the 12th of September, looks like a good job, it closer to home (Malmesbury), loks like it will be a really interesting job and challenging too, salary is good, good company.....

So i've got to go for it haven't i really :oops:

Fingers crossed i can make a great impression and they get back to me asap and say "here's the job....." fingers bloody crossed :?
