Well, went for an interview on Friday, everything seemed to go well. Just waiting on the date for the second interview now... fingers crossed.

So, hows everyone doing?

Hope it turns out real well for you, mate.

Myself, I've got a day off, Labour Day holiday in the state where I work.

But apart from that, very busy at work with worthwhile weekly hours, very welcome after some years that have been financially lean (but personally rewarding) caring for elderly parents. Lots of "recovery" to do sorting out my own circumstances, stuff that had just been disregarded while more pressing things took precedence.

He's applying for Comet

A sales position ? Or something more complicated in their 'inards' somehow ?, he should absolutely breeze the first one (else they want their heads testing) & I dont need to be wishing him luck ! :thumbs2:

Thanks everyone. Unfortunatly the second interview won't be going ahead - I received a letter this morning stating that they had filled the position Monday PM with an internal employee and that I was more than welcome to re-apply at a later date once the new position became available.

Personally I think the way that this has been dealt with sucks. But C'est la vie. As for the postiion, I'd applied for sales advisor and customer support. this time, I'm sticking to IT support - better the devil you know.

That said, had a phone call about a part time Tech support role, at least its something right?

Yep, part time is better than no time!

Aye, we'll see how things go on Monday. Should be a walk in the park, if I act human and not like a computer :-s

Sorry to hear it Garak, but it seems you already have something else lined up, so Good Luck on that :thumbs:

Maybe one of those ones where they were always going to fill the position internally, but had to advertise it & go through the motions.

Still, hope you get something else even more suitable.

It can be exhausting (like being on stage all day) depends on who you are going to teach and what you have to teach. If they don't wanna learn they won't.

It can't do any harm to try. Just remember you mustn't take your lart with you!

Teaching ECDL and CLAIT up to level 2, LART is called the 17" CRT monitor they are sitting in front of :D I might give it ago - can't really hurt can it. Teaching mainly adults, the only issue I can see being raised is "But he's a kid - he can't possibly know what to do" attitude getting me wound up. But as they say, don't try, don't know.

We'll see :D
