Just thought I should post a quick update on how things are going on the job/interview front.
I was told at the interview (for Senior Job) I would hear in 3-4 weeks...4 weeks is right about now. I know the jobs haven't been announced yet, but I'm starting to lose hope.
On the upside, I did get an interview for Job and will be flying to Brisbane next Thursday for it. So I still have reason to think we could be living in Brisbane by the end of the year.
As for SJ, the job he was hoping to get in Brisbane is looking less and less likely. Word is that they're still waiting to confirm funding for it, but with every week that passes and the way the economy is looking it seems less and less likely. Not looking good for him.
And worst of all? He lost his job as a bike courier yesterday. There wasn't enough work to go around and he was the latest hired and the one not interested in making a career out of it...
Trying to stay positive about everything, yesterday was a bit of a tough day though (didn't help that I got a work related call at 4:45am!).
Trying to remind myself that it can't get much worse from here, even if I don't get job in Brisbane and SJ doesn't get the job he wants. We won't be any worse off than we are right now.
I hope.
Sorry to hear the bad news - hugs x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, I should hear from mine on Monday
Sorry to hear about the job loss, that sucks.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the interview in Brisbane. *fingers crossed for you*
Fingers and toes crossed. If you get the other job in Bris will you guys still move back? I thought I remember you saying SJ's opportunities were better up there?
ReplyDeleteFinding the right role is always hard but never give up, do you want to back to Brisbane? Becuase i know the Melbourne market isnt that grim!
ReplyDeleteHang in there - have been in a similar situation where things couldn't be much worse. At least you know the only way is up xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you are going through tough times. The good thing is to think ahead and the only way is up!
ReplyDeleteAwww I do know how it feels, having Mr.HEA tell me a very similar story himself on the job search front in London. Hang in there and hopefully you'll hear some good news soon!
ReplyDelete:( sorry to hear that but you know how long they take to decide these things! Yes ages. Fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry to hear the bad news!
ReplyDeleteBut no news is good news about the job. Don't lose hope yet! It's not over til the fat lady sings. Fingers crossed for you xx
