I managed to sleep pretty well last night
only waking once and then waking up at 6am
so ive been awake since 6am
I could not sleep as I knew I would be up at 7am anyway
and didnt want to be late for my interview!
I got ready to go and tried to look as healthy
and mature as possible ><
I was starting to feel nervous
i allowed 45mins for a 20min journey
and its a good job I did as traffic was awful
but I got there with 10mins to spare luckily
I was interviewed with 2 other people
an asian guy who looked about 50
and then a student who was actually a student at the school
so he was only 17
we were an odd 3
I was spoken to in the group by the head teacher and dept head
that was fine and stuff
then we were taken to labs by the head science technician
where we had an activity to do
we had to set up an experient
i was totally out my depth as we never had this equipment in my school
my school didnt have a 6th form so we didnt have high end equipment
and what we did use for experiments was basic to say the least
so i had never seen stuff like that before
but winged it
then a written task about chemicals which once again i struggled with
but we had an answer booklet
we did these 2 tasks separately but in the same lab so i could see how the other two were doing
then we had a break
we got a tour of the school which is very nice and modern
then we sat talking to the head technician and 2 other technicians
then he left us and we waited to be called in one by one to be interviewed
i was 2nd to be interviewed
i was interviewed by 4 members of staff. some head legal woman, dept head, head of science, head technician so it was intense but i tried my best i made them laugh a few times
then i went home
all in all that interview lasted almost 3 hours
biggest interview ever
i was soooooooo drained when i came home
honestly i was dead
i had a lot of food and sugar to pick me up
i didnt want to go out and miss the phone call from the school
they rang at 3:30pm
basically the position was for part time - 9 hours per week
they had offered it to the asian guy as he had 15 years of being a lab tecnician
but he cant do one of the days so would I like 3 hours per week?
YES! course I would
its guaranteed money and a foot in the door
they said more hours would be made available after easter too
and it would be good experience for me and that they liked me and hoped id take the position.
yep yep yep
im doing it!
so I will be doing 3 hours on Monday afternoons
its not much but the hourly rate is what I get as teaching assistant
and it wont stress me out with me starting working so little
they said if i could get some documents over to them tomorrow
then hopefully i could actually start on this monday!!!
that would be amazing
its such an achievement even if it is just 3 hours a week
im cool with that im more than happy theyre giving me a chance
so im gonna take stuff tomorrow to them
mum was dead pleased for me
brother said well done, dad never looks impressed he looked more interested in his mail than my job but no pleasing him
i had cake after to celebrate XD
and let Oz lick the crumbs off the plate X3
I went on just dance and managed to get 5 stars ^^
then I had yoga which was good karen didnt work us to the bone luckily
tomorrow im going school to do the documents
then im hopefully going swimming with mummy~
so yeah im pleased
worth the 3 hour interview XD
here are this week's nails~
