Sideshowdeb Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Just had my interview for FSH. Although I only applied for one job I was interviewed for three. They said they need to fill these roles quite quickly so they should get back to me within TWO WEEKS.... Guess that's my first taste of the famous Wait Awhile I've heard so much about. I did my best so fingers crossed :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss sleeping hahaha Just this week I've been randomly waking and checking my emails because I've been talking to the woman from HR. I guess it's going to get worse before it gets better. It was my first telephone interview and I think I might have rambled? Good luck, hope you hear soon :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when you've said enough because they nod etc. At the very least it's interview experience. If I have to have another phone interview I'll know what to expect. If I get the job, however then I'm staying until I retire so I don't ever have to do this again :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshowdeb Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 It looks like you have got a good chance so could be lunch on you.Keep me fingure crossed for you. Definitely, in fact I think a bottle of something cold and bubbly after work would be more in order! They were so nice. We compared notes on how things progress in pharmacy and kind of ended up chatting and joking. I hope that's a good sign but I suspect they're just lovely people and I shouldn't read too much into that. Now a long 2 weeks of obsessively checking my email! Just like waiting for the visa all over again :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaffanZimbo Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Just popped into the Post Office to send off younger daughter and my passports for renewal (£130 for check and send x 2). I was a bit worried about the time frame for getting these back by the gentlemen who processed them said 3 weeks as normal. Apparently it is only first time passports and those renewing from abroad who are affected by the delays.... What a relief. Need to download the forms to update new passport for our visas once the new ones are received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelchic Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I was in salvos today and a woman about my age walked past me, crouched down, opened her bag, pulled out a big bottle of vodka, took a few rather big gulps, screwed the lid back on, put it back in her bag, and carried on browsing. Ha ha. I love to people watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Just enjoying a cuppa before my wife and dog get up. He is snoring soundly next to her then going to get stuck into baking. It is a baking day today. Apple and berry pie, tart tar tin and a banana bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rink Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 So i had a telephone interview just over a week ago. Not had any contact from them as yet... Starting to think negative thoughts now, which is a shame as at the time i thought it went pretty well. Surely they will contact me with a yes or a no ?

Akasully2 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Been packing the house up all day as we move into our long term rental tomorrow. Container arrives on the the same day so it is going to be full on for the next two days. I also signd up for Private Healthcare this morning, so now another step closer to being Aussie-fied. Currently sipping red wine whilst lamp chops and roast potatoes crisp up in the oven. Just missing the mint sauce, otherwise a perfect end to a hectic day.

Starting to think negative thoughts now, which is a shame as at the time i thought it went pretty well. Surely they will contact me with a yes or a no ? when I had my interview it took over a week before I heard back from then and I actually found out they had requested references before they spoke to me to offer the job so there may be some background work going on hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it gives me a bit of extra time to sort things out at home. Decorator arrives tomorrow, I've given up painting! once that's done the house is getting valued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
