Not sure why it has taken this long, but after 6 years and 4000+ job applications I finally have a job! telephone Customer Service Advisor for a large banking group, good pay as well. Starting in January.
Here is another strange thing, when I appplied there were dozens of start dates, each start date was for a different shift pattern, I did not look too closely and went for earliest start of the lot, turns out it was a weekender pattern, hours will vary from 30 to 40 hours a week, from 10am to 10 pm and Friday to Monday so yes it means having to work Sundays.
God works in mysterious ways, so am I here because God wants me to be here? Absolutly! OF course there will be chance to change in 6 months time.
My voluntry work played a massive part , from the initial application, telephone interview and in all the processes of the assesment day. Another interesting point was that I spotted early on that they were just interested in ability and skills, none of the usual stupid interview questions came out. My advisor at job centre told me that only a small percentage of people get to the assesment stage and quite a few people are rejected out of that assessment stage, so yes I have done well.
So yes I am over the moon!
