I had an assessment for an internal position and it was absolutely terrifying to see just how competitive the job market has become for even administration roles. They had over 200+ applicants that were whittled down to us final 12, the chosen ones from so many. GULP. And my god was the standard of candidate high. I didn't think I had a chance. We were assessed on group work, presentation, numeracy, literal reasoning and even handwriting! I was gob-smacked at the depth they had to delve to, to even get considered for interview stage, which thankfully, I have gotten to. Hurrah! We'll see how that goes, I'll do my very best to try and come across as intelligent, articulate and capable, rather than a quivering mess. It's all I can do.
Also hurtling towards me like a car crash (ha ha) is my impending practical driving test. I'm not freaking out about this remotely yet which is surprising, but it is taking up a fair bit of my free time and head space in preparation. I can't believe I might potentially be driving, on my own, in a car, controlling the bloody thing soon. For someone whose been driven around for the past nearly 30 years that's just a mental concept to get my head around! Actually being able to afford to run and own a car, now there's a separate matter...
IN APPY NEWS: Draw something. OH MY GOD DRAW SOMETHING. I'm hooked like every other 7 billion people on the planet. It is literally sucking the life and soul out of me. I do this though, I absolutely binge on an App for a week or so and then quickly get bored until I find the next great addiction. Please remind me to put Draw Something down and put some effort into coding again people, okay?
That is all, the big boy is killing 'Iron man' on the Wii (or something like that) and the two little ones are dozing, it's a rare opportunity to grab some lunch in peace!
