Yeah I've worked in a supermarket, a ********, and a music store. I'm not sure if I really want to apply there though, I bet they get a billion and one applications from many musos who aspire to work there too. I think I might swing into the health field, at least that way I may be able to get me some discounted food. Haha.

EDIT: I don't know why it blanked out the word p harmacy.

Ah, that was part of UM's way to stop the drug companies from spamming the boards from ages ago. Not sure if it's actually achieved anything useful, though...

Nebulous · March 17th, 2008, 05:50 PM

Ah damn, why do I get so nervous before interviews???!!!

Nebulous · March 17th, 2008, 09:23 PM

Well that didn't go too bad

Seems like a change I'd be happy to make. I should know by the end of the week if I was successful.

Just got told that they've hired a replacement for the IT Manager who left at xmas. Starts on the 14th of April.... guess it takes a little pressure off me if I get this job I'm interviewing for on the 1st. At least someone can pick up the slack when I go

TheDenimRager · March 18th, 2008, 12:28 AM

Getting promooooooted

Edit: promoted into an adminstration-level traineeship, made fulltime and given an hourly payrate rise...

Good work Daniel

That's awesome.

When do you start?

Nebulous · March 20th, 2008, 12:50 AM

Thanks Amy!

My last day of my previous job was today (just got home) and I start the new job next Wednesday. Training for two weeks and then straight into it. I'm really looking forward to stepping up my skills for this one.

Mean Machine · March 20th, 2008, 12:54 AM

Awesome, congrats dude

Nebulous · March 20th, 2008, 08:15 PM

Thanks. Seems us Lord forumers aren't doing too bad.

I've got a job interview with Village Cinemas this arvo after successfully completing the phone interview last night. I have to go to one of their cinemas today for a 2 hour thing, that will involve group activities followed by 1 on 1 interviews. I have no idea what those group activities are though :S

I'm sick as a dog and not in a social mood, but oh well.

Mean Machine · August 23rd, 2008, 01:51 AM

Well it turned out it was role plays, so NOT my thing, especially when I'm sick. I find out within the next 10 days whether I got it or not so fingers crossed.
