Being robbed means no phone to be contacted on...

Yes, last night I was robbed coming home to a friends house after dinner in town. As my phone was in my handbag I can't be contacted by any company in case they want to see me until I get a new SIM card, and yey, it's a bank holiday here tomorrow...very annoying (not the bank holiday, the whole robbing thing...)

Postponed decision

Well I guess my patience is put to the test again...decision has been postponed 'til early/midweek next week due to people being out of the office unexpectedly (I blame the bank holiday for this one...)

Anyways guess all the planning will have to wait a bit longer still...

Had a phoneinterview yesterday regarding a customer service job, can't hurt to keep your options open...

Done.

I think the interview went quite well, it was a bit more in depth than last time and I also got two small tasks to do. Really hard to read where I am at this point,there was one interview yesterday and there is one more person that they are interviewing tomorrow, then I will find out on the results on Friday. Watch this space...

The big day

So finally tomorrow is the big day of the interview I have now been waiting for the past three weeks. Hopefully I am prepared enough, and by the end of the week we will know...

Been yet another slow week, at least I have finally had the feedback I needed to finish up the thesis so that will hopefully be done within the next week. Also will have a chat on Tuesday regarding turning the thesis into an article for publication, so quite excited about that.

Slow week

It feels like a really slow week this week, probably because I am just waiting for the 26th to come for that callback interview.

In the meantime I am having a look around the sites, although there's a bit of a lack of energy, so I might be better off taking a few days break, otherwise the coverletters might reflect that.

Had a job tip from a friend though (thanks Heather!) that I will pursue, and as usual the only thing to do is wait and see...

No go for Cornwall

I didn't get the job in Cornwall, but I got some good feedback and it was mostly positive, so I'll take that with me and it will hopefully make me even better!

Update

Cornwall interview went ok, not that great though. Was a long trip, about 12 hrs there and back, nice area and it's real pretty down there.

I also went for an interview in London for a company that seemed to be very similar to that dodgy one in Southampton I mentioned before. I still had a few errands in the City so I went just because I was curious. It was indeed that same type of company! I got a callback but am really not interested.

The good news is that the Luton job has shortlisted me with 1-2 others for a second interview so I will go back there on the 26th, really exited for that one!

Until then I am still applying for other jobs, can't hurt to have a backup...

Cornwall

Quite sudden I am heading to Cornwall tomorrow for an interview. So early in the morning I will get on a train and head down for approximately 4 hours.

I got a pre-interview task as well, to make a project management plan, so I'm hoping to be able to send that tonight, and also praying that I've got the assignment right. Half a day is not that much but I will try my best to make it work!
