♥ vodafone interview
12:30pm ~ walk into the science library 2nd floor toilets to put on foundation, mascara and eyeliner
1:10pm ~ catch the bus from uni into the city
1:36pm ~ reached mum's office. went on a hunt for the first aid box. in major need of bandaids for the horrific blisters i got from my shoes *shakes fist* i don't remember them ever being THIS bad.
1:50pm ~ take the bus from mum's office back to the city. then walk to interview place.
2:06pm ~ arrive at interview place... 24 minutes early. soo.. ate my lunch - a sandwich.
2:13pm ~ enter interview room, register, recieve I♥VF bag and 3 pen... xD also engage in a good conversation with the other lady in the room who was applying for the job, her name was melissa, and she had a canadian accent!
I thought the interview structure was pretty good. I'm not a fan of "group" interviews you see, so I was really glad when they took people out for "one-on-one" talks. It really gave me the opportunity to tell her about my past work experience and how i would be good for the job xD.
It started off with introductions. introducing the person next to you after getting to know them... Then this activity in groups of 4 where you had to arrange cards, that had customer service statements on it, in priority. The next task was like a role play between 2 people. one was the sales associate, the other was a customer. then you switched. it was very casual. Then was filling out feedback forms and the one-on-one interviews.
3:37pm ~ finished filling out feedback forms and group interview is concluded. talked to melissa on the way out and found out she was actually a vodaphone manager in Qld! But she was going for a position at SOR. phew!
4:00pm ~ reached mum's office and started going through some psyc stuff. had a debate with jordan about the scaling/difficultly of discrete maths.
4:49pm ~ recieve a call from the lady at vodaphone :) and she offered me the job. saying she has to still contact my references on monday and will call me again to confirm everything next week.
5:48pm ~ dropped by kmart on the way home because mum wanted to check something out. at this point my feet were absolutely KILLING.
anyways. in the car ride home i was thinking about how much God takes care of me... like when the lady from angus and robinson didn't call back i was a bit =[ abt it. but now looK! so much of a better job - location wise, long term prospects, $$$$$$ wise and it's actually something i know about and like!
I think as humans we will never know the endless possibilities for our future... but i know i trust in a God who's always looking out for me... and sometimes life doesn't go my way. but there's always a plan. God's plan :)
