Not a win exactly, but the best thing that could happen at this time

Well, I've been searching for a job for over a year now and my brother and sister are the ones that have been getting the job instead of me as they've been applying at the same time or someone else has been getting the job. Obviously you can understand that i always felt gutted that i wasn't picked.

Anyway, within the last week, I've been accepted at Optimum Contact as a home customer satisfaction survey interviewer, I've been offered an interview at Teletech for next week wednesday, I've been accepted to work for a family friend to do some applications for middle eastern students (for which i'd be getting paid LOADS, really good money per completed application and i have the comfort from working at home) and finally I've been accepted to work for Ipsos Mori as a telephone interviewer. This was something I applied for last year, but didn't get called up but brother did. I had a missed call from them this afternoon and when i got home, i called them back and they asked me if i was still interested and i said YES. I start my assessment on friday and start working on monday.

I was telling my mum how weird it was that when i was searching like mad for a job last year, i didn't get offered any, and now that im quite laid back about it, i suddenly have all these opportunities coming at once. I've decided i'm gonna stick with ipsos mori and work for the family friend, and also do the customer satisfaction surveys whenever im not working for ipsos mori. I've cancelled my interview with teletech as i can't do the min 20 hours per week for that and work for ipsos mori at the same time. Plus, ipsos mori pay better lol.

I'm going on holiday next year (hopefully) with family, and we're really struggling at the moment, as we're a family of 7, so to be able to get what we want and save up for the holiday at the same time is just awesome. I'm a religious person, so I truly thank God for this.
