Afternoon all,

Please keep a few things crossed for me tomorrow, around about 10.30 would be good!

Thank you! smile

Just catching up Phoenix. Goes without saying, strongest vibes to add to your amazingly positive attitude. Don't let the buggers get you down P with your sheer bloody determination! you will get there

Hoping so much for you to receive good news.

I think it's brilliant that you are being chosen to go to as many interviews as you are, in your area. That's no consolation to you unless you get a job that you like, but it's nice to know that there are jobs out there.

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 20:08:42

They have both, but on both occasions (1st interview and second) they have called me on my mobile.

Ana Tue 18-Feb-14 19:59:33

Will they phone you on your mobile, or have they only got your landline number, phoenix? grin

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 19:51:32

Kitty you've managed to get me a bit confuddled here! Your post of 18.31 ? confused

My interview was at 10.00, haven't heard yet, so presume it will be tomorrow.

yogagran Tue 18-Feb-14 19:06:27

flowers for you phoenix, I'm so sorry to hear about Lily

bikergran Tue 18-Feb-14 18:47:51

think I will join you also "Black Tower Rose" wine slurp grin chilled of course smile

kittylester Tue 18-Feb-14 18:31:02

I'll join you - cheers wine

Will they ring on your mobile or will you have to wait until you get home?

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 18:10:31

I'm having a glass as we "speak", kitty smile

Yes, in AP tomorrow, and I know they will be asking if I've made a decision yet. blush

kittylester Tue 18-Feb-14 18:02:15

Flippiung heck - have a drink phoenix - the waiting is awful isn't it?

Are you at the other job tomorrow?

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 17:34:10

Just back from my other appointment of the day. sad Posted on original thread.

Still no word from dartington, but they did say it might not be until tomorrow.

Mishap Tue 18-Feb-14 16:25:49

It may simply be that their protocol says that they will take up references after the interviews - lots of places do this.

Good luck!

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 15:22:59

Again, thank you one and all.

kitty obviously not your turn for the Tena lady then! grin

glassortwo Tue 18-Feb-14 15:19:40

phoenix fingers well and truly crossed for you, dont write yourself off smile it could be you!!!!

kittylester Tue 18-Feb-14 15:01:39

(((hugs))) for this afternoon phoenix and still got everything crossed, although I must have looked pretty silly coming back from lunch at the pub with my legs crossed. grin

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 13:59:41

Thank you all.

Charleygirl Tue 18-Feb-14 13:43:39

Everything remains crossed until told otherwise. Please do not give up hope.

I agree with what Nonnie said, but the waiting is horrible Phoenix. flowers

Ana Tue 18-Feb-14 13:33:47

Think positive, phoenix! After all, they haven't even finished the interviews yet...grin

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 13:31:13

Nonnie thanks for that, I suppose I am pleased to have got this far, but things are going to get very difficult and complicated if I don't get the job.

I feel so nervous, I keep checking my inbox, my theory being that they will probably email if it's "no" and phone if it's "yes", not that I think it will be. Of course, it could be even worse, they might ring and I'll think that all's ok, and they then say the opposite.

Nonnie Tue 18-Feb-14 12:55:00

But if you don't get it you were down to the last 3 out of 60!!!!! That in itself is brilliant but even if your CV was what got you the first interview you beat off another 5 at that point so whatever you are doing must be right. You deserve congratulations for what you have achieved so far and should be feeling really good about yourself. Bravo!

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 12:47:48

I did apply for an office administrator position, received this reply:

( blank) has asked to me to write to you to confirm receipt of your application and to let you know that she will be choosing candidates for interview within the next couple of weeks. Interviews will take place the week commencing 3 March.

Haven't been contacted yet though.

I really do like the sound and "feel" of the one today, but I just feel that I won't get it. I really wanted that other one a while back, and didn't get that either.

shysal Tue 18-Feb-14 12:30:47

[mmm] Holding breath emoticon! Don't give up hope.

Charleygirl Tue 18-Feb-14 12:17:28

Oh dear.

Are there any advertised jobs on the market that you fancy?

Anne58 Tue 18-Feb-14 12:10:28

kitty I wish I shared that opinion! They still have one more person to see at 4pm today.

I actually feel physically sick.
