Hey everyone! Sorry for not blogging these past few days…I’ve been busy with my driving and job hunting. I haven’t started my driving lessons yet as I still need to call the driving school about my 5 free driving lessons. On wednesday I went to this 2 hour meeting though which taught us about the basics of driving, getting a car, safety, etc.
Anyways, I started job hunting only 3 days ago. I know in my previous posts I mentioned that I’m not bothered anymore as I was rejected 3 times already. However, my friend had this job interview at a french restaurant as a hostess and if she gets it she’ll be paid £9 an hour!! The jobs are during the evenings though as its quite a posh place …
anyways this motivated me to start job hunting again. I didn’t know that if you worked in restaurants you could get this much money!
So when I got home I started looking for waitressing jobs straight away and emailed so many people…
Yesterday I applied for a job in a new english restaurant opening in Kingston. I was so excited to send my email that I forgot to attach my CV!!!
I didn’t even write a cover letter for any of my emails…I’ve just been sending them my CVs.. after realising my mistake I sent another email immediatley and I just felt sooo dumb!! The guy emailed me back like 10 minutes later saying
Hi paula, no attachment
AHHHHH
I just felt so stupid! LOL I found it funny as well because he had the time to email me back saying that…so anyways..I sent him a 3rd email apologizing and sorry for any INCONVIENCE.yes INCONVIENCE. not INCONVENIENCE. INCONVIENCE!!!! I’m hoping he didn’t notice!!
This guy also posted the add yesterday and said he was holding interviews the day after…so I was thinking..ok I made a right fool out of myself..he definately won’t get back to me.
After school when I recieved a voicemail from him saying he wanted to interview me!! I felt so unprepared but I was like “YES ! I CAN COME!! ” He told me he was holding the interviews in Slug and Lettuce resto and I didn’t know where that was…but still I said “OH YEA I KNOW WHERE THAT IS!
” I guess I was a lil bit excited… also as I don’t wear make up to school all I had in my bag was a hair brush and lip balm.
I’d also told myself that next time I had an interview I would really make the effort to look good!! My previous interviews were all after school and I never dress up then..I would just wear my grey mahimulmul coat and hope I’d be hired.
He also said that if I can’t find him I should just give him a ring. On my way there my iPhone froze! arr! So I swapped sim cards with Stanny so that I could use his phone. When I we got to Slug and Lettuce I couldn;t find him anywhere! Stanny also said he’d leave me for a bit during my interview so he could find somewhere to eat…I remembered I didn;t have a phone so I couldnt phone the guy.. so I started panickingggggggg lol.
Stan found me a few minutes later and told me the guy was in Ha!Ha! resto. He gave me a 5 MINUTE interview (more like 1 hour) and hired me on the spot. I was so happy I wanted to hug him! lol! After saying “Welcome aboard!” and shaking my hand I kind of stopped listening to him as I was overly happy…no more waiting for their phone calls!
:D when I walked out of the resto I just wanted to tell everyone out in the streets that I finally have job! ahaha! I know its shallow…but it was such a nice job..in a nice area by the river .. it pays well.. and the manager was soo nice! I thought his resto was gonna be some budget kebab shop or something because he was posting his adds on gumtree…
So I’m really glad now that I didn’t get those other jobs I’ve applied for. hMmm revive juice bar my left foot!
This is gonna my one of my most productive summer ever…gym, driving and working here I come! Tmoro I’m going out with my friends for her birthday…ahh what a great start to my weekend
