In an odd twist of events I decided to apply for a job I saw a vacancy saw at
[link]
It's funny... I've been checking there on and off for about a year or two because I like the place and it's close by, but there's never been a job suited to me. Clicking there yesterday I thought "nothing'll be there as usual" and lo and behold, there it was.
DESIGNER / WRITER... yes please
So anyway, I printed out the info and slept on. I didn't think I'd make the application, simply because my sleeping habit was going round in a circle (again), and I was sleeping back to front. The next morning (two days ago), my favourite feline woke me up at 10am by clawing at the carpet for attention. It irritates me no end, really... Anyway, I got out of bed, gave him a quick stroke and chucked him out my room and almost got back in to bed seeing as I only went to sleep at about 5am, whereas I'm used to being able to sleep for at least 10 hours. Then I thought, what the hell, stay up. Two hours later I picked up my mobile and after a brief conversation with the personnel manager, an application form was arranged to be winging it's way to me that very day. Today I finished writing it out after several revisions of my answers. It's my first application, and I was nervous just filling it in - yeh, I made a couple of mistakes, but only teeny tiny ones that hopefully shouldn't matter in the grand process of employment. Seeing as it's Sunday tomorrow, the application won't reach them by Tuesday. I won't be overly surprised if I don't even get as far as an interview, but I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed. I'm just hoping and praying to any deity that cares to listen that I get considered, as I have no formal qualifications and I'm relying on my writing skills and art/design work to wow them. I included a couple of printed pieces as samples/examples, so hopefully they won't just pass over my application when they see I have no GCSEs... I'm working for them, though, dammit!
