Hello all..... most of you know that I have/had been trying my best to start my own cleaning business and after not being successful finding any other jobs.Having had to throw the towel in on my cleaning venture due to lack of response I had to go back onto Jobseekers.

Been applying for various jobs and no luck nothing.Then! ASDA advertised (I'm I allowed to say ASD*)?

Managed to get through the questions (they were but tuff) received an email that I had been selected to go for group interview last Tuesday.Was told they would be in touch in next few days.

Couldn't bite my nails any further down so started on the end of the pens!!
Kept checking my emails and phone thinking I may miss a call or email.
Friday morning home phone rang!! didn't recognise the number but answered it! and............and.............!!!!

yesss! I had been chosen! and have to go for my induction on Wednesday!
I was the oldest there in the group interview, I was treat exactly the same as everyone else who seemed to be 25 and under.
The post is classed as seasonal, but I put down I could work any hours (but not nights) etc etc.

So yes there is life after 60! if only for seasonal it is a step forward. smile
thanks for all your support everyone smile

That is absolutely fabulous- you have worked so hard for this and if you do your very best, who knows they may decide they cannot let you go!

It will be so good to have some money in your purse again. Well done.
