I’ve been trying to get a new job for a while, I’ve been working in care homes for years and not been able to even work out what I want to do, I was training as a nurse for a while but it fell through because of covid and ever since I’ve just sort of… plodded along. I went to a career day with the local council and found what I thought would be a good fit but honestly was a bit put off because the pay was so much more than I’ve ever earnt before (literally minimum wage) and didn’t think I’d be good enough to make that much. My best friend, who’s the biggest blag artist and most amazing person I’ve ever met with money convinced me to apply for it.
I interviewed for the same job in different departments 5 or 6 times. On the second to last time they called me and told me that basically they loved me and thought I’d be amazing that I should definatly apply again but unfortunately someone else had scored just slightly more than me on the interview. I was so over it and when I went to the last interview I had last week I really thought I messed up and I was so done with it by that point I figured I was just going to give up and try something else
I just got off my Night Shift this morning and was falling asleep and almost didn’t answer the phone when they called, but I did, they offered me the job.
It’s over ten grand a year more than I’m making now and I still can’t quite believe it.
I don’t even know who to call I’m just sat here like a zombie thinking they’re going to call back and tell me they made a mistake.
