Hey everyone!!
How are we all??
Good??
That's what I like to hear!!
Unfortunately I'm under the weather
at the moment and have been ever since Saturday!
Not good.
What didn't help is I had extra
stress moments yesterday, while trying to get someone to cover my shift at
work. Thankfully Lucy came to the rescue and I managed to relax and enjoy the
day, (well as much as I could). I'm still feeling rubbish and want to crawl in
to a corner and be left alone; but I'm trying to put a brave face on...not
really working.
Anyway...
This was me yesterday after popping
to a little recruitment event in town.
So as you guys know I work only on
Mondays and just do the odd days during the week (overtime); which means for
pretty much 6 days I don't do anything. As much as I love doing the overtime, I
want something a bit more long term and more stable (you know what I mean).
Because of these various reasons I have been broadening my horizons and looking
for other jobs. I've done the whole two job thing (ok it was only a day each
but it still counts); so I reckon that I could cope with it and do a good job.
Anyway Saturday was completely by accident - I shall now explain why. I
currently have two phones Pedro (my Xperia) and my iPhone. Now the number on my
CV is for Pedro (not any more); but because I always use my iPhone Pedro is
always off so I never pay attention to it. A week ago today I turned on Pedro
just to see if I had any messages etc and waiting there was a voicemail. It had
been left the day before and I knew there was no chance of another call. I
decided to do some research and for the next four days, I emailed the
recruitment team of their company. It got to Friday and I didn't hear a word,
so I took matters in to my own hands and decided to ring my local store. They
had no idea what I was talking about, but the lady took pity on me and invited
me to their recruitment event. Saturday rolled around and as usual I was
running late, but thankfully both Charlie and Mildred helped me out. I briskly
walked to the store and was quite shocked to find there was only a few of us
there. Turns out there was only five and I believe it was planned that way,
which I think is better then having a bunch crammed in to one room. We did a
couple of 'get to know each other' tasks and then soon enough we were given
bigger tasks to do. The next step was to create two outfits - 1. Festival 2.
First date, it was literally my favourite part of the day. We had 15 minutes to
do the task and I think I spent 10 minutes just on the first. I went for a
simple maxi dress/leather jacket/sandals/floppy hat/backpack and a load of gold
jewellery. The second was slightly harder for me, as I wanted to do quite a
girly look but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I decided on a pencil
skirt/plain crop top/mock leather sleeved blazer/wedges/simple clutch and a
statement necklace. Considering I had five minutes to do it, I thought I did
pretty well (well I'd wear them). Next we stayed around the shop helping out
with various tasks and asking questions to the staff already there. The final
step was the one to one interviews, which is always the most nerve racking
part. I think the interview went well and I should hear in three weeks whether
I have been successful or not. Overall it was an experience and with every
recruitment event/interview, you can always learn something new.
To the outfit...
As you can see I'm as colourful and
vibrant as ever, well you know what they say - why change the habit of a
lifetime! I always think for an interview you should always be classic and (in
other words) play it safe. I always wear black to an interview, whether it's
head to toe or just a skirt or pair of trousers. This time I decided to keep up
my tradition and reached for my new stripey trousers. Now if you have watched
my latest fashion haul (here);
then you will know all about these but for those who haven't... I picked these
trousers up a couple of weeks ago in Primark. I honestly wasn't planning on
finding anything; but on this particular trip I found my neon necklace and
these trousers. I've wanted to grow my collection of trousers, as I usually
only wear my old faithfuls and I'm in serious need of more options. I was
having a look around in Primark when I came across these little beauties. I
couldn't believe that actually had my size in them and also that they were only
£9! They are quite sheer (I'm actually wearing leggings underneath here); but
they'll be perfect for those summer months. There's an adjustable drawstring
waist which is always a bonus and I love the cuffed ankles. The black and white
stripes are just a classic pattern and will never go out of fashion. I love
these trousers and it's nice to see Primark selling some decent stuff.
Well that's me done for today!!
Still feeling rubbish (I've been
doing this for two hours - no idea why); but I have Matthew Goode to distract me
(LOVE HIM). I have a pretty quiet week but that doesn't mean I'll be absent.
Just hope that I'll get better soon!!
