Cinnamon Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi, Well done! ALL staff are taken on on a temporary basis to start with. Do not worry about that in the least - if they like you (which they do), then they will find a role for you somewhere if the cafe role doesn't turn out to be permanent. But it will be fine - in my 5 years as a Partner I have only heard of a couple of temporary contracts not being made permanent, & they were both college students who kept on not showing up because they were too hungover So, a few tips for you......The trousers are easier to wear than the skirts, & the Bootcuts are a decent fit. Or you could get a pair of trousers and a skirt, but personally I can't be doing with all the tights wearing & tucking in the shirt! You should get a choice of a sleeveless jerkin or a long sleeved jacket...go for the sleeves (if you can in the cafe). Get some VERY comfy shoes - plain black, no buckles, not suede or patent. If you have hair below collar length then get some ties to tie it back. AND SMILE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beantree Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Congratulations Sparkeysmum. It's a great feeling to get the job you want AND know that someone else thought you were the best person for it. With a new job comes a slight turn in your life and decisions have to be made regarding priorities. I know because I've had 17 jobs (may have missed a few) and each time my life has changed direction, sometimes slightly and sometimes drastically. Good luck.
