Advice Needed Please Confused lol

Hi

I went for a interview today at a boarding kennels for dogs, cats & birds as a part time receptionist. They also import & export dogs & cats all over the world. Which I would be really interested in learning as I have shipped my dog over to Oz so kinda know the process etc. The interview went really well and he said to me OK rather than saying you will take the job (or words to that effect) come in when it suits you to get a feel for the place see what the jobs all about etc. So I am going in tomorrow morning for a few hours. Now my question is obviously its a trial to see how I go but do you think he is more or less saying the job is mines?????? Is this the way they hold interviews over here I don't know as this is my first one???? I do know he has been given another girls resume so he will probably be interviewing her as well. Just wondered what your thoughts on this are.

Janette

Hi Janette

I reckon its a really good sign that they are interested in you!! If they didnt think that you were up to the job then they wouldnt waste there time or yours for that matter!!

My oh is a paint sprayer (I know totally different) however when we got here he spoke with about 3 people from the same company over the phone, they told him to go in the following day for a trial which he did. At the end of the day they confirmed that the job was his and even paid him for the day!! (Which we didnt expect)!!

They do seem to do things differently here, so I reckon going on this its looking good for you!!
Hope this helps and good luck
Deb xx

Hi Deb

Thanks for your reply. I am thinking the same way but don't want to get my hopes up as I really want this job. I am also getting paid for tomorrow which is good lol. When I went for the interview they had 3 birds in the reception and one was called Billy (OH name) so I reckon that's a sign . Looks like I will just have to wait until tomorrow & hopefully I will now if the jobs mines when I finish fingers crossed.

Janette

Thanks Debs

The girl from the agency has just called me to say that he was delighted with me I know that they had sent another girls's resume to him but she confirmed that she didnt get a interview so it is looking good.
