Well…. things are always in the last place you look. So I got the last job I applied for last week, and have yet to hear anything from anyone else.

It started with a group assessment, where I realised that as a citizen and uni graduate I had a distinct advantage over my mostly backpacker and school grad opponents. We had a phone test where we had to make 4 pretend calls. Two hung up, one wanted me to call back, and I got a sale on the last one. Then we had a group exercise, proposing business ideas (which we were given) and discussing the pros and cons. I think using my general knowledge on the source of wines, and bringing up the main cons and immediately proposing a solution went down well.

The said they’d call back later in the day, so instead of miss the call while train travelling I hung around the city, then at a bit after 2, while passing the burger king on george st. I got the call. Bk proved to be too noisy to hear what was being said so I ducked into the convience store next door.

So I start on monday at Customcall it should be fun. Casual dress code, internet cafe and pool table in the break room, free breakfast when we start work (which is around lunchtime) – plus I’ll be working with young people/backpackers. The only issue is that the office is at 383 Kent st (levels 11 & 12), and heading towards the nearest train stations requires passing Krispy Kreme or Venue Music. Oh well.

So I will have money very soon. [mr burns voice]Exxxcellent…[/mr burns voice]
