I've Got a New Job!
Yep.
After 27 years working for a major national newspaper company.. then redundancy.. then caring for my father - who has seen the Stranglers many times but now suffers from Dementia and is in a Care home..
I applied for a job with the Manchester Evening News (M.E.N. Media).
Invited to an interview, I thought... 'In for a Penny, in for a Pound' and gave it my Best. 10% nervous 90% confident!
I won! Got the Job! Little Apprentice Me!
Just had to share this as I thought I'd never work again.
Still..... 6 months propabation but I can,t wait to getting back into it!
Cheers Everyone.
Ian

Re: I've Got a New Job!
Fantastic news mate.
You obviously love your job and that should be evident to your new employers.
Most places have a probation period these days, more of a contractual thing to protect them.
