Got another job! again!
Mr Whippy - 14/2/11 at 09:31 AM

I'm so excited

Just changed jobs two months ago before my last company, the now defunct Subocean went into liquidation only to find this one seriously boring with little to do and it's on the other side off Aberdeen making getting to work a real chore.

Wasn't happy at all

So goes for an interview last thursday and gets an absolutely great job which is just 5 minutes drive from my house, so close I think I will just cycle to work in the summer and can go home at lunch times to walk the dogs. Even better the missus works at the end of the road.

Couldn't have worked out any better

Happy days

Well done! nice to hear some good news on the job front. I am self employed and work is scarce at the mo. Best of luck.


Mr Whippy - 14/2/11 at 09:52 AM

Thanks

I would love to work for myself but I'm not brave enough to take the plunge, one day maybe

sounds like you've landed on your feet

Well done Mr Whippie, any hotties at the new place?


Mr Whippy - 14/2/11 at 10:29 AM

Hmm don't know yet, not much in this place that's for sure and can only be an improvement

Got 3 valentines cards delivered to work this morning...

One from the missus and 2 from the cats and dogs (with scribbly child like writing on the animals ones) did made me laugh, she's a nutter

All I can say is I seem to have got the hang of these interviews, every one I've had over the last 5 years I get the job!

thats one hell of a commute lol

well done whippy! i'm glad for you

hoping to hear of one myself this week, applied a week ago, but the online tracker shows the application still open though, so hope i hear back soon...

cheers

Well, some company’s do take their damn time to go through their HR procedures so you may already have been picked, they may just have not got through all the paperwork, here's hoping

I was asked if I could start today! with the interview only last thursday I was like well I do have to work some sort of notice, rather than just not turn up for work! some places are just mad

Not even getting a break with this move, the last one I did not work my months notice as I didn't believe that I'd even get paid (was quite right as it turned out as they had no money for wages) so had a month’s holiday instead and went off to Tenerife class sure felt better when I came back

Aberdeen though has no shortage of work at the moment, been plenty work available tbh

but it does pay to be flexible and look at many different job options, always better to have any job and looking than be on the dole and looking. Almost everyone has had rubbish jobs before but at least its money in than out.
