I have a job interview today so I admit.. I am procrastinating..
I have done all the research, practiced my technique and am now trying not to worry (interview at 4..)

This is a pretty important one because, after a break due to illness about 3 years back, I decided to change my life by not living in an office working for corporate hell but turning back to my passion. After 8 months of volunteering I managed to get a temp role, this expanded, extended and adjusted over the last 2 years and now I am interviewing for the role of assistant ecologist. If I managed to get this job then I will finally be in a permenant position doing something I am incredibly passionate about.

Fingers crossed!

Good Luck!!! That's the route I'm hoping to take eventually, so gratifying to know that it works. At the moment tho I have to try and get a boring office job first so I'm earning money and then I can start volunteering and work up from there.
Job interview tomorrow for me, so another set of fingers crossed!

Everything crossed and positive vibes from us!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Just got home. I actually think it was one of the best interviews I have ever done and I am pretty confident about the ID test.
Unfort that means nothing if the other candidates were better.

Will find out tomorrow I think so fingers still firmly crossed!!!

Sorry guys, no news yet. I have been a useless mess all day and have heard nothing but cant chase it up as apparently the bosses are interviewing for other roles at the same time!! raaaaahhhh!

I am sure I will hear next week some time. If not, I have an interview for the same position in Bridgewater next Friday... Will mean a move but hey maybe it will be for the best!

I promise I will keep you posted after all my ranting
