As you all know I have been job hunting since my last contract finished.
Well being disillusioned with the IT world and the drop in wages and the extra hours they all want for less pay, I started looking at different jobs for me, a change, something new and challenging.
Maybe not so challenging, It's time to start easing up and enjoying my life and my work.
Among the hundreds of jobs I applied for were many part time jobs even cleaning jobs all to no avail.
Out of the blue came an email, a reply to my application, can't be for me are they sure they got the right person?
It is, it is for me, a first in the history of Brian, somebody is actually interested in me enough to want to know more.
Who is this person? What is the job? A scan of my confuser tells me it is a part time job, two days a week delivering wine, now this sounds right up my street, back to the email and a reply to them.
Yes I can find time to come for a chat with you, (you betchya I can init?).
Alison explained they are a small expanding friendly company run by herself and her hubby, buying wines from small vineyards around the world, everything from entry level to connoisseur wines.
Van delivery days of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are getting too much for the existing driver, who has other commitments within the company but will keep the Fridays if he can get help for the other two days.
I felt at ease with Alison straight away (you all know how shy and nervous I am DON'T YOU?)
We had a good long chat, I told her honestly about my heart attack and spinal stenosis, assuring her that two days per week would be a breeze and showed her I can still lift but do have limits as to my fitness.
I thought maybe I was talking too much and putting her off of me rather than impressing her and was surprised when she asked when I wanted to start, I was being chosen over approx 230 people who had applied for the job, how good does that feel?
I don't start till next Wednesday but I am looking forward to it, such a change from what I have been doing lately.
Yes it's only a part time job but its what you make of it that counts, I see it as helping a young couple to build their business and take the opportunity to promote the company that is employing me.
So I want you all to look at their website and stick in a whacking great big order, C'mon you know you like a drop of Vino init?
I don't deliver the internet orders so you're safe, I won't be knocking on your door.:nonono:
Please do mention my name if you get the opportunity, not for my gain but so they know where the referral has come from.
