Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) I found out today that I got an interview for that job I applied for recently. I was starting to wonder as the advert said interviews would be this week (things are VERY different in education!). I did know that they had been in touch for references though as my boss told me they had - but they did that last Thursday. Anyway I've been at the post and texting the other woman who applied and I knew she hadn't heard anything so I emailed today to ask if I@d been unsucessful. They emailed back that letters were being sent out today and I would be interviewed next Wednesday. I'm starting to panic now, only three weeks left to hand in my notice and no other suitable jobs are advertised. I DON'T want to work here next year.

chocchick Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Good luck Maybe something will just turn up if someone is leaving/they are slow at advertising for a vacant position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks all. the interveiw dress still fits fortunately - its bias cut so it doesn't clings rather than looking too big. I might need a new handbag though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 and maybe new shoes to match too Best of luck Pengy - hope all goes your way! Ooooh I didn't think of shoes..... Actually I won't go for shoes - I'll need to wear my sensible "teacherly" shoes and I don't want to buy any more of them, since losing the weight I only put them on for a couple of hours a day, the rest of the time I stalk around in killer heels!

Helly Welly Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Good luck Pengy I assume the usual attire of an Omlet t-shirt and crocs won't suffice then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Actually the Omlet T shirt Mum got from grand designs is a little tight on me - I have a lot of loose flabby skin and one of my tummies shows in it - EEK! I've said I'll wear it to the Barleylands meet on Saturday, I should have tried it on first!!! As for the Crocs, I just sold my 2 fave pairs on Ebay - they are too big following the diet although my Troikas still fit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Of course having said that I've decided to wear a pair of my trusty Birkenstocks today. Done up on the tightest hole they still just about fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 OMG - I think maybe this job is meant for me. The lesson they want me to teach is to year 9 (not great) on Web Design using Dreamweaver. I am the Dreamweaver Guru!!! I just emailed the other woman and told her thats what I have - she isn't that strong on Dreamweaver and knows that I am!!! There is also a third candidate whose name rings a bell, not surprising really as it is a very small world! Oh and Mum bought that divine new handbag for me yesterday...
