Got a job (though not the one I went for!!)
Whoooooooo-hooo!!! Got me a job, though not the one I went for!
Went for a job today for a Treasury Manager for a Kiwi finance company that are setting up in Brisbane, wasn't too sure about the interview but was told I'd hear by tomorrow.
Just got a call saying that I'd be perfect for the job and had "amazed them" in the interview BUT they want to create a role for me instead. I'll be the manager of the role I went for (plus a couple others) and basically run the office when the Exec Director is out of it. They offered me more than I asked for and as if all that isn't good enough, I get a weeks paid trip to Auckland to meet the office over there and get a bit of hands on experience.
Very happy
Job starts in 3 weeks as well, so I still have a couple of weeks to wind out of holiday mode!
Yiiipppppppppppppppppeeeee.... off to get a beer

Thanks everyone... I'm certainly happy, can't believe my luck and so pleased I didn't take the job I was offered last week and held off for something better

Wooooohooooo!!
Congratulations Michelle!
Good onya Luvvie! You've given folks here so much help and sound advice, you deserve everything good that's coming your way.
You got a job and I tossed one away on the same day! Booked up and ready to come home to Brissie in November. Hope the Brissie Girls Drinking Club's still going when I come back as it would be good to meet you and some of the other regulars sometime.
All the very best to you in your new job.
Cheers,
