JOBS

This was the week I really started looking for work now that we finally had a house and the uni work load wasn’t to crazy so updated all my CVs to make sure they were Australian legitimate and started handing them out. Many places seemed not be hiring but happy to take my ‘resume’ and let me know. I’m not here for long people!!
So anyway, I found one place in the first week where I had to book in for an info evening. It was with a company called “Groovy Chics and Pirate Ships” and they do childrens parties. It sounded so much fun and was good pay. The information evening also made me want to do it but I got the feeling they wanted you to be able to commit to being there for some time, especially as you go through a lot of training and work for one day a week (which is such a full on day they only recommend you do one!) after the information evening we were supposed to write a brief description of why we would be good at the job to go with our resume, highlighting the things she had mentioned in the information evening, then if that was good enough we would be called to an interview, then put on a trial if we got through the interview. So I didn’t really see much point as by the time I got to working I’d probably be asking for time off to go visit Nat and Dave on the Gold Coast. Ha ha. (you guys come here soon, yay!!) and also it would be a waste of their time as they seemed to be looking for people who would be with them for a while.
