Oooh, scary !

I've done it... I applied for a job !

** I have an interview on Friday at 11am **

Judy and I were at the local shopping centre yesterday when she noticed a blackboard advertisement out the front of one of the jewellers saying they had a position available for administration staff. I went in to enquire about it and they said that the position is 3 days per week, 4 hours per day. They asked if I had any experience and seemed surprised when I said I had about 16 years experience.

I had a little think about it and decided to 'bite the bullet' and apply. I've only ever applied for a few office jobs in my life, and only ever HAD two full time jobs ~ both for 8 years or thereabouts.

The fact it's a 2 minute drive away is awesome and means I won't be stuck in traffic or spending hours travelling each day. If I felt so inclined I could also walk...yeah, right ! LOL Being part-time will also let me ease back into the workforce gradually, and will still allow me time to be a mum. Oh, and the fact that it's at a jewellers is kinda nice too ;) With any luck there will be a little flexibility with the hours too which will mean I can still do my Fiskars 'work'.

So anyway...last night I retyped my resume and wrote a cover letter, and today I bound it and dropped it in. The girls remembered me from yesterday, which was nice. I don't know when I'll hear back, but it's usually within about a week, so fingers crossed !

So far there are no plans for Kade while I would be at work, but Mum, Judy, and my neighbour Eileen have all offered to look after him for me. Of course, I will try to get him into childcare (and have already emailed one center), but at least I'm not stuck if I was asked to start Monday or something.

I'll keep you posted.

P.S. I sold EIGHT of my cards at the market on Sunday !! I'm so thrilled. I now need to get busy making more for next month's stall.
