Wish me luck...

I know just how you feel...had the same rejections in same time...and 2 of mine were council jobs.

Ask for feedback...i did (basically I didn't know enough about (a) the role - never done THAT job before but several with all required skills and (b) the area - am moving into the area for goodness sake!) Like you am thinking that I do a good form, but can't match up in person!

Chin up, something better will come along...thats what I keep getting told anyway:)

Awww you may still get it?

However if it is any consolation I have found that Council's have been very infuriating! I have applied for jobs before which I have received interviews for (and so has BF) and got on really REALLY well....only to be turned down. :rolleyes:

They will give feedback though - in fact they should offer it as a service post-interview.

Good luck though, you may still get in there!

Still no news?

Well haven't heard anything so safe to say I never got it.

However, I went into work today, and my boss's boss has offered me a transfer to another office, same number of hours but spread over three days instead of four, so I'll get two days off a week, and they are letting me have four weeks off (unpaid) over the summer holidays. So I'm going to give that a try and see if it works out - the other office is apparently very busy, and has several other people working in it, who I've met before, so I think it will be a better atmosphere. I'll give it a go for a few months and see how it works out. So all is not lost.

well somethings better than nothing!

A new challenge is always good, freshens up the mind, shakes off the cobwebs, but you should only do what you're happy to do!

Chin up and big smiles xx

Great news Mrs A - every cloud, eh?

Indeed - I'm not 100% about it, but it will certainly tide me over until something else comes along. And if the weather stays like this I can hardly complain at having four weeks off, can I?:)

Also, 3 days rather than 4 but same hours - much better as can get second job????

Change is as good as a rest!:T

I'm actually going to look at using the extra time for a college course or some sort of study. I want to try and get qualified in something so I can get a better job once the kids are a bit more self sufficient. Not sure what yet though, leaning towards something health and social care-ish.
