Gee whizz!

I've totted up the number of jobs I've applied for in June and it's 31! July is going along the same lines too as I've already applied for 10. All the Job Centre want me to do is a minimum of 2 each week. Mmmm. Not surprised they don't know what to do with me anymore!

On a brighter note, one of the apps is for Cycle Surgery on Princess Rd in Didsbury. I haven't worked in a shop for years but I enjoyed it when I did, and where better to expand my knowledge of all things bike related than in a cycle shop?

So, fingers crossed all round, me thinks.

Yippee!

While writing up about Tank (or Evo, still not made my mind up about her name yet) I received an email from a place I'd applied for a job at.

The UK Border Agency based at Manchester Airport have decided that I meet their minimum requirements and have asked that I attend an 'Information Day'; basically a further assessment type thing, similar to that which I attended for my GMP application.

So, I've booked myself in for 9th July at midday for the 2hr assessment. Finger's crossed that I pass this assessment and move onto an interview.....unless they spring it on me at the end of the assessment!

Apps

As mentioned a while back I'm now back on the job hunt market. Today was a fine example of such a day -

I've filled in 15 application forms (by hand!)
Emailed 5 companies with my CV & cover letter
Filled in 3 online apps
Gone boggle-eyed
Got a very numb butt
And my knees feel like they've been kicked by a donkey!

What's the betting that I get not one reply back?! :oD
