Blathering...
Oct. 5th, 2005 03:12 pmThe agency just sent me a map so that I could confirm which building I'm supposed to be going to tomorrow after sending me to the wrong one on Friday.
It was at this point that I noticed the interview was in a town fifteen miles from the first interview.
Um.
Checked with the agency who had completely failed to notice this detail until I pointed it out. Guh! They checked and the role will be based in the offices I saw at the original interview, so that's fine. And at least now I know that I need to leave earlier than I'd originally planned due to the extra distance.
Somehow, I have a feeling that turning up in the wrong town tomorrow for this interview might have scuppered my chances even if I did try to blame the agency.
I'm feeling happier and more rational about this job, particularly as I've had no response from the agency that contacted me yesterday. Not even a note to say that they're putting me forward for the job. So if the company offers me the job tomorrow I won't be turning it down on the off-chance that something else might turn up. I'm being sensible.
And lured by the prospect of a decent salary after years as a student and then a poorly-paid temp. Money! Things! Affording Christmas! Paying for my MOT! Buying new clothes!
Such a material girl :-)
I am now going to put the final finishing touches on the review database software before starting the mammoth task of transfering all the old reviews into it. Ah, I know how to enjoy myself :-)
