I've been looking for work for months now, had quite a few interviews, all have gone well and then lead to no where.
Had an interview last week with a couple of guys at halfords, they were looking for a couple of people apparently, so just went in and gave it my best.
They said they'd send me a letter out letting me know, but they said I've come across really well and to get my form ready for monday...Kind of hinting that I may have a job but didn't want to say there and then.
Anyway, today came and no letter, however there was a message on the answer machine asking me to come in to "discuss" somethings...didn't sound promising.
When I got there, they said they knew half way through my interview that they were going to offer me a job, but just needed a week to discuss what job it would be
They decided to offer me a full time/full length contract (9-5.30, good and bad lol) at...not the best pay, but £5.70 an hour.
Of course I was accepting anything as I've never worked before and the job centre said I had to sign up to a ymca course tomorrow if I didn't get this job, so that's a relief.
They said because of my general interest in gadgets etc and my IT background, they'd like me to be their full time ICT (In car technology) sales person, and rather then giving out 2 part time jobs, they liked me so much they made it 1 full time job
I will be selling sat navs, car computers, car dvd players....car entertainemt really, and after 3 months I get the title ICT specialist
I start on wed at 9.30am, and they are sending me to a course for 4 days next week to a busier store where I will meet with some people from Garmin and Tomtom to discuss their products (I hope they give me some free samples lol).
Bit nervous as I've never worked before, so don't really know what to expect and like most new things I have the, "What if I don't know" worry as he said I have to proove myself very quickly because I go on holiday for a month next month and the job has a 3 month probation period.
So ye, quite please that this is my first real job, was worried I'd be plucking chickens or something...but selling sat navs in Halfords isn't too bad
Means I can finally save for a car I actually like (woo mini cooper hehe)
