I met a friend for coffee yesterday afternoon. We hadn’t seen each other for a while. We talked about what work opportunities were about and what we both have done recently. I said to her, ‘I am not looking for work at the moment. I just want to focus on my studies.’
We parted and I walked the short distance home. I had only been home a couple of minutes and the phone rang. I had applied for a writing job last October but wasn’t successful. The newspaper rang me to ask if I was still interested and if I would like to come in on Monday for an interview. It is only for 8 hours a week and could be fun. I will wait and see how the conversation goes on Monday.
This was the first time in four years since I left full time work that I actually stated that I am not looking for work. Isn’t life funny sometimes – the way things work out?
Yes it is,opportunities presents itself when you least expect it. I hope you get the job.
Thank you Ranu : )
Good luck on Monday! 8 hours a week sounds like a good fit with your schooling.
Thanks Nancy! I will do a follow up post about it : )
Good luck Rainee. You’d make a fine writer.
Thanks for your vote of confidence Tony : )
As fate would have it?
Good luck with the interview.
(Isn’t Monday a public holiday?)
Thanks Elizabeth. Monday is a holiday but, being a newspaper, the journos will be working :-). I hope you have a good Easter : )
