It was a position for check in staff. I was up against 7 or so check in contractors already employed by Virgin who were looking for a permanent position within the company. They all knew each other, spoke about airport events and used aviation jargon. Some were ex cabin crew for Emirates who waited on millionaire Arabs and others Jetstar and Tiger check in staff. They had just come from a shift at Melbourne Airport, wearing skirts at knee, black stockings, white shirts and vests. They had their hair in combed buns, red lipstick and foundation faces.
I didnt think to take my multiple ear/facial piercing away or wash my asymmetrically cut hair or study company history. I didn't know it was an interview. I came in not knowing what to expect for the next 4 hours.
I told my the girl beside me, that I would 'wing it'.
Probably shouldn't have rocked up with that interview with a job as serious as Virgin Australia.
They said we would know if were are successful within the next two weeks. I think I need to practice my interview skills. I hate questions like:
- Why do you want to work for us?
- Why do you think you're right for this position?
- What can you bring to the company?
- Tell us about a time when you gave exceptional customer service
- Tell us about a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer
Yesterday I found out I got the job for Tony Bianco at the Melbourne Central store. I learnt this after Charlotte asked to organise an induction. I wasn't even told I got the job. I have to go in to the Melbourne Central store tmrw at 9am for a 1 hour induction where I will be filling out paper work. 9am-10am for paper work. Find a carpark at the train station and take a peak hour train for that? I may as well make the most of the early day, stop by Savers in Footnam and exchange some purchases. Head to the post office to post off some ebay, which isnt doing too well at the moment and go home to sleep.
Drinking starts at 530pm at Match Bar then off to Stylecraft on Flinders Lane for Phuong's university design auction. Her and her fellow final year interior design students at RMIT are raising money for their end of year exhibition. A design auction! so exciting!
I want to go down to The Order of Melbourne to visit MJ and chill there for a bit. Then to Horse Bizzare to see Ty DJ, then to the Espy to see the Elzhi gig. I just recieved a mobile text,
I have to fit in a Illustrator Tutorial at 1pm with Sean.. so perhaps its not enough time to go home and sleep.Right now I'm a little stressed out bcoz I gotta juggle so much shit.
I need to juggle three jobs and work out my availabilities for each, I have to work out which jobs I want to give priority too. Red Rock and Tony Bianco dont know about each other. I need to submit my availabilities for Jwow because it's re-opening earlier than expected. And I have to worry about Virgin and their last minute recruitment requirements they throw at me via email which I dont check everyday. I need to record any employer contact I make and the hours I work for Centrelink. I need to follow up a time for sunshine hospital and to have my eyes checked.
Jambi's dress up birthday party tmrw at Ondergrounds and I havent found a costume. I need to do my tax, sort out some ebay shit, and transport shit from Kealba to Taylors Hill and vice versa. I need to worry about money, why hasn't my Red Rock payment gone through? Papa's birthday soon, I need to buy him a present. Same with girl girl.
Phonda is pressuring me to get an ASIC. Do I even want to stay at Red Rock?
I was busy all day and my first and only meal of the day came at 6pm. I had two pork rolls I was so hungry. So much shit to figure out. The only thing that calms me down is reading The Alchemist.
