Good News
So plan A might have pulled off.
Yesterday I got Neil to send my resume to the lady he deals with in HR then I decided today to follow that up with a quick e-mail from myself. Within say half hour of me sending that message she phones me on my cell phone. Her words were she was very excited that she recieved the resume from Neil yesterday and when it was followed up with an e-mail from me she was even happier.
She told me to go on line and do the approprate things on their website and in the mean time she was going to have a word with her boss, which is also Neil's boss. She said she wants someone asap and I would be perfect.
I am so giddly right now as hopefully my wage will go up and the hours will be so much better for us as a couple. The position was stated as temporary but she said it would lead to permanant I said I would be as permenant as they were to keep us in Canada. (they issue us the work permits remember)
I am happy to get back to my routes in office work as like I have said in previous posts i'm bored at the spa, I need to keep busy or time just seems to drag. So what am I going to say to my current employer? I don't think I'm going to make a big deal out of it probally just say a better offer has come my way and I would be stupid to turn it down. At the end of the day there is no personal ties there, I don't see how I would become a spa manager or have any other more responsible duties there. It has taken her a whole month to give me more hours and have me work on Saturday!
Hopefully I'll get some good holiday allowances and benifits that come along with working in a big company. I shouldn't speak too soon as I haven't been offered the job so far or even been asked for an interview but it all sounds very very promissing indeed.
I've had some odd experiences with regards to working in Canada so far, working in retail has been in my opinion one of the worst jobs. Customers can be quite nasty but you do have a good laugh with your work mates. At the spa it's more fingers on lips, pushing people to buy stuff and really working hard to get bookings for appointments, deep down is that really me? I'm happy to go back to office work, more than happy believe me and if I get this job i'll try not to complain about any aspect of office work ever again!!!!! |

Think Carefully
| before accepting a position if it is offered. It is the same company as your husband and if it does not work out for you, you won't want any reprecussions to fall on your husband. You have a great work ethic but I would ask that you step back from yourself a bit and examine, without prejudice, what went wrong on a personal level with both employments. Was it miscommunication? Perhaps high expectations? Maybe it is the way you express yourself. I wish you luck no matter what. |
