chelsea Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 When do you find out ? (hopefully they will have the decency to let you know this time!!) she said they are interviewing the rest of this week . She said it will be next week sometime. I'd be happy if I didnt get it that they put me out of my misery soon . Yes last time that candle company took over 2 weeks and then I had to ring and find out!

Blackrocksrock Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Awww thanks everyone you are SO supportive (brings a lump to my throat! ) I really want the job but I dont think I will get it. I think there will be a lot of candidates so I will be lucky if I do. I dont get queasy (I love poo picking after my chooks! ). Im used to dealing with distressed people every day for the airline and used to abusive people aswell . The main criteria of the job was "excellent telephone manner" which I do have, but I suppose if someone else comes along with experience im snookered. the job also states assisting farmers with TB testing (so I have been reading up on DEFRA) and also milk tests. The post involves 1-2 hours a day of lab work. Susan if you could give me any pointers on what you think I should relay across in my interview it would be much appreciated (what would you be looking for if you were interviewing for a colleague?) thanks. Chelsea I am sorry I did not see this one on Monday or to-day till now - glad it went ok but if we were looking for a colleague it would be most important that they fit into the team we have become. The lab work will be easy and they will show you how - the testing will be recording numbers for the vets on forms and arranging testing with the farmers - 1st test is a tt1 and 2nd test to read it is a tt2 test. The milk testing should also be a dawdle and there will always be samples to be sent off to outside labs such as abortion samples from cows and sheep and "Ooops, word censored!" s h i t samples (sorry but thats what it is) to a lab too as well as testing in house. I work at reception and do accounts and take payments and pay into the bank and answer phones and put out injections/drugs for farmers and order the drugs for the surgery etc etc - dogsbody!!! but you need to do all sorts - to-day the cleaner has not been working very well at all and I hoovered my reception area too and help with the washing/tumble drying. feeding animals and cleaning up after them and a bum stop for dogs/cats being injected with anaesthetic if they wiggle. I help with blood samples and help to put animals to sleep - yes its hard but I think if an animal is so bad its nicer to be able to lay them to rest. You sound ideal for such a job and I keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck Susan Edited April 22, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Glad it seemed to go well.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Sounds like you'd be perfect for that job . I bet no-one else was in that long or was told they had a smiley face . Or talked non-stop chicken . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
