So the next phase of the interview process has begun … a video interview. I’ve never done one of these before so I don’t know what to expect.
Well, my application for the Queensland Rail job has officially been submitted. Now the waiting game begins. I haven't heard whether my current contract is being extended but I can't pass up going for a permanent opportunity - especially since they did approach me out of the blue.
@peemee Haha, thanks for that Peter :) There is still that ongoing debate as to whether to split QLD so that the folks in the North have their beloved daylight saving and the rest of us in Brisbane and surrounding areas do not.

@hybotics She's still very cute. My pupper is quite old in comparison. She turned 19 earlier this year. We are starting to see more signs that she's slowing down. We think she may have dementia as well as their version of vertigo1.
it's some kind of geriatric vestibular disorder
@matigo It's happened to me before, maybe twice over. One interview was so informal it basically turned into whether I watched MasterChef or not. The other was basically 'now here's what you'll be doing' … emphasis on you'll. The fact this job is being re-advertised is giving me the vibe that no one went for it the first time.
@variablepulserate indeed, 17hrs behind was what I meant :D my bad!

My application for the Queensland Rail job is almost complete. I spoke with the recruitment advisor looking after the job yesterday and she's keen to see my application. I have to make some final tweaks to the cover letter before I'm done. I have until Thursday morning to submit it.
I'd previously applied for a Finance Officer with them ages ago and didn't think anything else of it. I guess that's how they found me on LinkedIn.
I'm half thinking this might be one of those jobs where I'm the only one to apply for it. That scenario has happened before.
@sumudu Thanks Sumudu. I saw you've been going through some stuff too. Hopefully anxiety levels have come down.
I'm having very mixed feelings tonight.
I'm grateful. I'm realising as I get older I don't have a lot of friends in real life. I have a small circle of friends that I see every so often and then there's the handful of true friends, those few people that I completely trust and can talk about absolutely anything.
Then there's you guys. I haven't met any of you in real life but there's a select few that have got me through some pretty tough times in my life. For that I say a massive thank you and here's a virtual hug from me. I did have a hiatus from here but I'm glad I'm back.
On the other side, I'm feeling quite anxious about certain things. I am getting better about how I deal with these kind of situations though, which is nice.
