Interview tomorrow

[Pixie85]

I have an interview at a veterinary centre tomorrow afternoon and I've no idea what to even wear. Any help appreciated! I think getting myself back to a job I enjoy will really help me.

[Suzi]

If in doubt go smart casual - nice trousers or skirt and a top?
Good luck!

[Jaquaia]

Good luck!!!

[Paula]

Good luck!

[Pixie85]

Thank you guys. Keep your fingers crossed for me at 2.45 tomorrow ��

[Suzi]

Remember you are interviewing them as much as them interviewing you!

[Pixie85]

I don't want to jinx it but I think it went well. They gave the me a tour of the place and were speaking like I already had the job "this is where you'll do this" "this is where you'll do that" etc they said they'll let me know by the 30th, as they still had other interviews to conduct

[Paula]

Sounds positive. Well done, love

[Suzi]

Well done lovely!

[Jaquaia]

Well done! What are you doing to reward yourself?

[Pixie85]

My friend came round with yummy snacks and we watched films and drank lots of tea ��I've just had an email to say the were very impressed with me and want me to go in for a trial day on Tues!

[Suzi]

Oh wow! Congratulations! Well done! What's the job doing? So pleased for you!

[Jaquaia]

Woohoo! Well done!

[Pixie85]

It's a nursing position at a veterinary centre. Exciting, just hope I don't mess it up!

[Paula]

Yay!! Fantastic news!

[Suzi]

That's fabulous! You're going to be great!

[Pixie85]

Thank you guys �� ��

[Suzi]

How are you doing today?

[Strugglingmum]

Fantastic news. Well done you. That is a huge achievement!!

[Pixie85]

Thank you guys! Having one of "those" days today. I don't know what's going in. For some reason, even though this is what I've wanted for a whole, I keep trying to talk myself out if it. Don't understand why I'm doing it

[Suzi]

What is it that you don't understand why you are doing what love?

[Pixie85]

Ignore me. I was having a rubbish morning but I've pulled myself out of it.

[Flo]

Good! Just be you, do your best and more importantly, enjoy it! You'll be fine. It sounds a lovely job. All the best.

[Pixie85]

Thank you ��

[Suzi]

You never have to apologise for how you are feeling on here love...

[Paula]

How are you doing today?

[Pixie85]

I left at 12.50...they rang at 2.10 to offer me the job! 🎊🎊 Didn't expect to hear anything so quickly!

[Paula]

Wow!! Well done!!

[Suzi]

That's awesome! Congratulations!

[Strugglingmum]

Fantastic. Well done

[Jaquaia]

Congratulations!!!!

[Pixie85]

Thank you guys :) I start on Tues

[Suzi]

How many shifts are you working during the week?

[Pixie85]

Thank you guys :) Had my first day today and it went pretty well. I'm pooped now though, so going to get an early night!

[Paula]

Im so proud of you!

[Suzi]

Well done lovely! Remind me, are you working every day?

[Pixie85]

Working every day yes.....finding it hard on the old back already ��(swear)♀️ spend all day on my feet

[Suzi]

It is tough, but are you enjoying it?

[Pixie85]

Yeh, I'm definitely enjoying it. It's so good to actually feel like I'm more that just a mum and school drop off and pick ups lol

[Suzi]

That's so wonderful to hear!

[Pixie85]

Interview this morning at 11.....please send me all the positivity because I'm feeling super anxious about it and I don't want to mess it up!

[Suzi]

Hope it goes really, really well lovely.

[Paula]

Good luck, sweetie, but I know you’ll smash it!

[Jaquaia]

Good luck!

[Pixie85]

Thank you guys. I've just got out....I think it went OK, but I guess you never really know. I did OK with questions but I don't think they liked it when I said that although I was interviewing for receptionist role, I would like to do some nursing too.....they said they would want me as a receptionist for a year before offering up any nursing work. It'll be 11 hour days....with a day and a half off in week, so I wouldn't need to worry about leaving therapist. It's just it would require a lot of help from little ones dad and he doesn't even want me to work! They said they'll let me know by end of week, as they still have more interviews to do.....but they shown me round, it was fairly relaxed once I got in there.

[Suzi]

What happens if he doesn't want to stand up to help with childcare?

[Pixie85]

I'm not sure. My friend has said she will help, where she can but obviously she has 3 kids too. Just see what happens, they might not even offer it to me

[Suzi]

11 hour days? Those are really long days especially with 1 1/2 days off - can you do those hours with your little ones? Would you have the same days off each week?

[Pixie85]

Long days yeh, but I think It's doable, if their dad will help. It'll be the same days off, yeh

[Paula]

It might work with the kids, but would it work for you? Truly?

[Pixie85]

It's more hours than I thought. I thought it would work in shifts, so I don't even know. I'd give it a try though

[Suzi]

Might be worth checking?

[Pixie85]

Had the most amazing interview at an emergency veterinary hospital this afternoon. I was there an hour whilst we chatted/had a tour of the animal hospital. BUT I don't think the hours will suit and I'm gutted!! The hours will be week and half of 8.30am-7pm, week of 3pm-11pm or 11pm-8am. Its an emergency animal hospital, hence the need for 24 hour nurses....and I would LOVE it! But I don't think it's doable 😔 I've been offered another interview at a dog rehoming centre, not sure when....going to have to ring them because I'll be in Portugal on the 2 dates they offered....I'd still enjoy it as its still working with animals and its much closer to home....it's just the thing of it being a job I'd like rather than the other, which would be a job I love....if that even makes sense

[Paula]

Well done on getting the interviews! You should be really proud of yourself :). It does seem like those hours might be a challenge with two little ones, for now anyway. Working at a dog rehiring centre, though, sounds wonderful!

[Strugglingmum]

Huge congratulations on the interviews!! You might love the set up at the rehoming centre too.

[SJW180]

Check out the rejoining centre and see what they have to offer. It might surprise you and be a job you will love.

[Paula]

What’s been happening on the interview front?
