Amazing news! I'm assuming from the feedback you gave the recruiter you are happy with the role. The first company looks to have lost out due to their tardiness.
Well done, your preparation and agility in the interview in incorporating what you had learned about the operation clearly paid off 🙂

Apologies for not replying again last night. I was absolutely shattered and was struggling to function. A mixture of a lurg and the inevitable adrenaline crash I guess.Thanks @LadyWithAPlan, @redofromstart , @Humdinger1, @~FlowerPot~, @South_coast, @dawnybabes, @carolbee, @PennysIntoPounds, @Watty1, @greenbee, @beanielou, @penny_less, @WelshmansDaughter, @teapot2, @Brewerspride, @MFWannabe, @skint_spice, @Baileys_Babe, @ladybird1106, @Staffordia
@f0xh0les, I have already accepted and we are have negotiated a package. It’s not brilliant BUT it’s liveable on (with some slack) and it’s a much smaller job than I had before. The commute, to either site, is c. 30 minutes from home (20 minutes less than before) and no schlepping through any city centres! Chloe just looked at me when I told her Mum had got a new job so could still keep buying her nice food - it was a full on “And …?” look! 😉😂❤️
It goes up a further £5K after six months probation, if I achieve the internal audit qualification for medical devices.
@Brie, “We are cats, we do not jig ….”Mr KK was late back after a long, heavily diverted drive, to pick up a second hand but unused compressor he found on the Bay of E to give him the extra volume needed for the sand blaster …
He is pleased though 😊
@cheerydaff, yes, a shorter commute and as far as I can tell from the outside, a much nicer organisation. I felt like I had real rapport with the two managers I would be working most closely with and I got lots of eye contact and responses to my “Good morning”s on the shop floor, which is always a good sign. Only seen one of the two sites so 🤞 for the other one.@debtfree@debtfreewannabe321, I’m absolutely convinced that the vision board concept you shared made a huge difference in this process. The very first question after my presentation was one that directly pointed to one of the post-its on my board …. Why that company? Because I want to work in a company that does good in the world. (They manufacture living aids - things like slings to get people in and out of the bath, seats that go in wheelchairs - all customisable to the individual user.).I’m intending to do another vision board in a similar format for what I want my 2025 to look like …
Thank you 🙏
@Twolabsandacat, welcome to my thread and thank you 😊
@CCW007, I was quite proud of the weaving in of site examples …. 😉 I did blow my trumpet to Mr KK about that a bit. 😊😉
They wanted me to start next Tuesday! Too soon …. 😂😂 I need a few days to properly relax and finish sorting the house out.I suggested 9th December. Means I get a couple of weeks in before Christmas and can start the new year knowing the routine and what the priorities are. I quite like that 😊
