Bring It On!!

I have seven applications out there this week!!

I actually got two interviews this week, one on Tuesday for an Administration Assistant, made it to the top three applicants, but didn't get it. I was really down on Wednesday, it was a great job, but the training would have been really rushed, only one week to learn the ropes. But keep hoping the other person won't work out and they will call me back. Mean ha? But it is dog eat dog out there. But I'll leave it in the hands of the universe.

Anyway the second one was Sales Marketer, and I may get a decision today. That job is full time and involves weekend work. Offering a days trial, then one weeks trial, then a three month trial. Boy that's some trial!!!

Last weeks applications haven't all responded as yet, although two of them did respond which is good. Most people have the decency to let you know, but still there are some that don't.

Well I feel I'm getting closer to my goal. Bring it on.........

Bye for now.

New Network Agency

I started at my new agency this week, I can't believe what a difference.

They treat you so nice, and really care about you as a person, no pushing you into jobs just to get placements. They focus on what you need in the way of training, what skills you already have and if you need to refresh and improve. They offer you training. Now thats my idea of an Agency, there to help you.

Instead of three days per week, I only go two days for an hour. They offer you lollies to which I thought was very nice. They have the latest equipment, and you only have a couple in the room at one time. They do a lot more for you, instead of leaving you to fen for yourself.

They work on an Holistic view, rather than a dictatorship, they are very different to all the other Agencies as they are religiously based. Yes I am going to tell you who...Centacare, trust me, don't waste your time with any others, these guys are very conducive to creativity and productivity. They will help you map your career.

I have spent all afternoon, searching, producing applications and emailing to Employers only managed to get four off today compared to eight the other week, but I put a lot of work into it. I was not successful with the previous applications, I think there is still two I haven't heard back from yet. So lets hope I atleast get an interview from my efforts for today. Here is a list of todays jobs:-

Casual Receptionist PT - Physiotherapy Practice
Administration Part-Time - Motor Industry Body Works
Office Administration PT - Manufacturing Company
Office Administration ? - The ad didn't say what type of company it was

It's a shame they are all part-time, except the last one is filling in for the Manager in a two person office, so it could be full-time.

Aside from today's, Centacare has forwarded my resume to an Employer that has an anticipated vacancy, and the feed back is good, so I hope to get an interview with
them soon.

It's really hard work doing job applications and phone calls constantly, I look forward to obtaining a position soon, so I can have a rest from it. LOL

It would be so great to find a good office position and actually be earning a decent wage, I so look forward to it. I really miss being able to shop and buy nice things, but I always have to say, "no" I can't afford that, must pay phone bill first. By the time you pay bills and food there is never anything left for clothes.

It must happen eventually, I so hope it is a decent wage so I can catch up and get some money behind me. I know money is not the most important thing, but it sure seems that way, when you haven't had an abundance for so long!!

Wish me luck!!

Over & Out For Now.

Positive & Happy

What a relief, finally a solution. I feel like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders.

The breaching decision went in my favour, so they obviously found out I was telling the truth.

Centrelink have been very helpful and supportive to me, so I am very greatful for their input.

I spoke to the customer service assistant about the stress and worry I had recently sufferred as a result of someone wrongfully breaching me, and how I would have coped financially if I had been disconnected from my payments for eight weeks. She was understanding of the damage that had been caused, offerring me advice as to what I could do about it, not to let it go unoticed but bring it to the attention of those who could put a stop to this sort of thing happenning. she told me an interesting story. Many years back she was working on the main enquiries counter, when she spotted a lady crying and in great distress. Immediately she took the woman aside and began to comfort her, explaining that she may not be able to give her an immediate solution to all her problems, but she would try her hardest to do all she could to help her. Taking the time to calm her down, endeavouring to investigate her situation.

Some years after she was at a training course and a lady stood up and said, as she pointed at her, "That lady saved my life". To the shock of the service assistant, she then explained that she was the distressed and crying person that had received help from her at centrelink so long ago, explaining how she couldn't cope with her circumstances any longer and planned to take her life, deciding that she would try getting some help from centrelink as her last ditch effort.

After hearing that, she had to go outside and have a cry, as it had never occurred to her the impact she made on that ladies life that day.

In this circle of life, what we put out does tend to come back around.....
