Not for me…

I didn`t get the job I went for as a Student Coordinator at the hospital. I had the interview the week before last and found out last Friday when the HR manager rang me. I was really dissapointed because I had felt like they had led me to beleive I had it in the bag and then they took it away (At the last minute they received an application from somebody that had a lot of experience doing a very similar job-where as I only have experience doing it for the last 7 weeks). I was depressed about it over the weekend but now I am more like “It obviously wasn`t meant to be” and I probably didn`t get it because something better and more suited to me is going to come up! Yay for positive thinking!

So I finish up this temp assignment next week and then I will be looking for another temp assignment to keep me going. I am happy to temp for the year it is just a little bit unpredictable and there is a chance some weeks I won`t have work which could screw up trying to save a little bit.  But I am trying not to think about the bad stuff that could happen if I can`t find work because in the past I have been really lucky and something has always come up!!!

Shumpei comes in just five sleeps! Saturday morning I will be going up to pick him up at the airport! He rang last night while he was at a goodbye party with Cat, James, Leader and our other friends (From when I was at uni in Japan) and I spoke to a couple of them. It was so good to hear Cat`s voice- I almost cried! I miss her and everyone so much…We have spoken a couple of times since I have been back in Australia but everytime I am just so happy to talk with her. Last night I also spoke with Leader and Junni- It was weird to be speaking Japanese again to someone other than Shun!

In other news if I lose .5kg on Thursday at weight watchers I will have lost 5 kilos since coming back to Australia!

Look out for P is for….. tomorrow!

    Temping is a great way to try out lots of different kinds of jobs and industries and work out what you’re interested in… maybe one of your next temp jobs will be something you love, that you would never have thought of doing, and you wouldn’t have discovered it if you’d got this job.
    Good luck at WW and I hope the next 5 days go fast :)

    Your so lucky, you only have 5 more sleeps till Shun comes!! I still have 12 more sleeps till I see Naoki again… this last couple of weeks have been going SOOO slowly! Don’t worry too much about not getting that job, as you said, another one will come your way! Congrats on your weight loss!

    I’m sorry to hear that you missed out this time! I know the feeling about thinking you had it in the bag. Something similar happend to me recently at work. I was pretty dirty about it at first. But i’m over it now and I realise that there is something better for me out there. Fingers grossed you get a longer assignment next coz I also know from experience how annoying the uncertainess of not know how long you are there for can be. I’m sure your friend will make sure you get another job just as good if not better. 5 kilos is heaps to lose in such a short time….yay for you! :)
