WOW! 5 potential job offers in one hour!!
Can't believe it!! Been looking for admin work for about 6 weeks with no joy. Found out last week that my b-tec nursery nursing is valid over here, so decided to utilize it and look for a job in daycare.
Redid my resume last night and just visted 5 local settings, one on the spot full time job offer (told them only want 2 days at moment so they offered me that instead) been put on the 'relief' register for 2 more, offered 3 days at another one and number 5 said they will definatly have something but will call me when the director comes in to confirm days etc!!
Can't believe that now I get to choose! So pleased I can relieve the financial burdon from hubby a bit (we are struggling over here!!)
Sad that my son has not settled in his daycare yet though, that will make it all harder
Just wondering why everyone I saw was so desperate!! lol

That's fantastic - well done :) Must be a huge relief to know that not only can you get a job but you've got a choice.
Good luck with deciding!!
