Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-284321 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 14:38:51 +0000 Tara 284321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>T, having had the pleasure of meeting you personally, I can say I reckon you're right on heading in a creative direction.</p> <p>For what it's worth, I think you'd really suit working in something creative with some people-to-people aspects. Think marketing, public relations, advertising...these apply across a huge range of industries too - everyone needs them! </p> <p>And given your excellent organisation skills I reckon you'd make a great manager at some point :-)</p> <p>Good luck with it and keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-284284 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 10:01:19 +0000 Theresa 284284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much ladies :)</p> <p>I actually feel relieved today - which I wasn't expecting, and makes me think even more, that this wasn't the right opportunity for me.</p> <p>I am very fortunate too, that in Aus, I am eligible to maintain my single parent benefits until my youngest is 6, so I have a little over a year (April 2012) before I absolutely MUST have a job (or be studying) - so thankfully there isn't any immediate urgency.</p> <p>BUT, I had some time last night looking through various courses online to see if anything tickled my fancy, and I have enrolled in a single uni;t "Art and Creativity"; from a Fine Arts and Visual Culture degree. If I like it I may continue.</p> <p>All I really know is that I want to be creative, and the perfect opportunity will arise!</p> <p>But rest assured I'll keep you all posted!!</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283862 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:08:43 +0000 Angie 283862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was good experience, Theresa. Not to worry. Your creative job juices are flowing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283852 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:45:34 +0000 marianna 283852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good attitude, Theresa! You'll find something better in no time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283841 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:26:47 +0000 AJ 283841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a good attitude! It seems like you are blessed with not having to rush, so definitely take the time to sort out what you want. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283787 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:42:04 +0000 Deb 283787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe things happen for a reason, even though we may not be able to understand it at the time. By not getting this job, you remain free, and ready to pounce on another opportunity when it appears. And it will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283785 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:35:28 +0000 anne 283785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa, I am sorry that you didn't get the job, but it sounds like the second best possible result. Hope you will enjoy thinking out your work direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283779 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:06:49 +0000 Laura 283779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's okay, this gives you a chance to pause and think about what you really *do* want. The answer will come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283774 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 11:38:49 +0000 April 283774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Theresa, I'm sorry the job didn't work out, but it sounds like it provided a chance for you to ask some important questions about what you want to do. Good for you! Keep us posted on your journey... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-job-update-1#post-283772 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 10:37:57 +0000 Theresa 283772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I got a phone call today to tell me I didn't get the job :(</p> <p>I'm a bit sad, but not devastated - the lady who did get the job was completely even with me except she had a bit more retail experience (which isn't surprising because my retail exp. has only been incidental in relation to other key business areas), and they have assured me that if she doesn't work out, I will be getting a phone call. They are also keeping my details handy should anything else arise. </p> <p>So, whilst I'm sad because it would have suited my lifestyle perfectly (and it was a shoe shop LOL), I'm fine because I know I am capable of making a great impression and being a top contender for a job - so it was a nice confidence boost. I'm actually going to take them in a box of choccies to say thanks (and I'm certainly not about to stop shopping there LOL).</p> <p>But, it has made me stop and think a bit more about what I do want to actually do and the truth is I still really don't know - I feel like I'm looking for a job to suit my life, without actually thinking too much about whether or not I will enjoy/be good at it... </p> <p>I have these visions of the environment I work in, how I dress, even to a degree what I do, but I can't work out what the job actually is! Maybe I need to meditate on it a bit or something...</p> <p>So, for the time being, I'm just going to keep my eyes and ears open for other job opportunities and see what happens.</p> <p>But, thank you all so much for all the confidence boosting you've given me with my outfit and interview update threads - I really do appreciate it!</p> <p>And now I'm off to bed - I spent just over 7 hours in the car today and am absolutely exhausted! But I have a weekend sans-kiddo's so shall be back tomorrow to catch up here properly </p>
