Second Interview

Very best of luck x

Many thanks to you all, and you can rest assured that I will let you know how it went! (Might be a bit of a delay, due to the logistics of current car sharing, but there are plans in hand for that!)

it's not my "dream" job, that one came and went, however I like the fact that this is a very successful family run business, so if I'm actually offered it, I think I will have to take it.

Off to bed know, only feeling slightly unhappy about my decision to leave the hair removal!

Phoenix Sending lots of good thoughts your way.

When you talk about the odd days of working it could be worse.
My DD is on nights this week. When everyone settles down for the evening she is setting off from home at about 8pm to do a shift until 7am ish.

Then she will see her 16mth old for a little while before dropping him off at nursery so she can get back home to sleep. Not fun at all.

Seconded!

I shall be keeping everything crossed for you too - here's hoping 2014 is your year! The Year of the Phoenix - sounds good!

Yes, it is frustrating when we don't get to hear the outcome of things! [V. nosy emoticon]

Good luck with the interview, phoenix

Loads of luck phoenix xx

Haven't kept up does your Mr P like his job? & fingers crossed for tomorrow

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow, phoenix xx

Good luck Phoenix. You so deserve it! Xx

Good luck, hopefully you are alone for the second interview and the 18 year old waiting for his interview last time was bypassed.

My fingers are crossed.

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow Phoenix, I have a good feeling about ths one!

I agree, anno, and so may his daughter. Good luck, phoenix!

Looks great phoenix, lots of luck on Friday xx

As the owner is 70, he may well feel more comfortable employing a 'mature lady'. Hope so.

The best of good luck Phoenix. First get the job, then see how much having to work Saturdays grates on you. Getting another job will be easier if you're already employed. But it looks a lovely place - imagine siting out there in the sun during lunch breaks - and fresh trout for dinner.

That sounds promising phoenix. Good luck.

Good luck - they sound very nice. What was your impression of them? Would you be happy to work there?

You can bone up on fishing I am sure - I wish you all the luck in the world.

Good luck Phoenix, will keep them crossed for you!

If this works, you can have a look at it here:

If not, on the AA Route Planner, it is from EX21 5RT to EX21 5XT

Charleygirl according to the AA route planner, it's just over 7.5 miles, (on the doorstep by local standards!) but the first 3 or 4 miles are narrow lanes, but everywhere is like that getting out of the village!

He may have little option, his health may have the last word!

Thank you!

This enforced break from employment has enabled me to sort of sit back and take stock.

I really don't think I'm a "corporate" sort of person, Mystery Shoppers Ltd was still very much a family run business, even though I was dealing with large corporate customers (British Gas, National Lottery, Unilever etc). This place is still very much family run, and although the owner is now 70, he doesn't seem willing to "let go" , even though he seems to have some health problems.

A week for cash sounds good to me. Is it far away from where you live?

phoenix that does sound very promising. Here's hoping!
