Just want to say good luck to you all! I'm not going to lie, this wait will seem like forever, but hopefully it will be worth it ;D Are any of you writing blogs to keep information on your application process? I'd love to read them ;D
Yeah for my last application (2008) I applied at the end of the July. Had my phone interview mid August (I think) found out about face to face interviews late September. Had interview late October. Got waitlisted early-mid Novemer. Got offered the job Christmas Eve and started working mid February. It actually went a lot quicker than I thought it would. You just have to put it to the back of your mind (easier said than done). I didn't tell anyone which made it a lot easier.
I am! There's only 2 entries so far, but hopefully I'll get more than just to a third one http://carouselofcolour.blogspot.com/
Awhh man I really want to know either way. I'm living and working in Switzerland at the moment (only 3 weeks left thank goodness) and the not knowing is making this time dragggggg!! My 'not thinking about it' is not going well.... think I am worse than last time.... Anyone else have butterflies in their stomachs pretty much all day?
I'm back from work after 2 weeks off but my job is so boring that I can't help but check every 5 mins haha. I think I have also become addicted to this forum... Even if I don't get it, it makes me happy reminising all day!
Hope you feel better soon Ellie, yeah im like "hmm i wonder if they have emailed, they might have, I'll just check again, I mean they might have emailed in the past 10 mins, yeah I better check!" The thing is with getting into uni, uni results anything really when I have had an email - I just open it straight away and "man-up" thinking well I can't change what it says now. I have never really freaked out about it, but I know for a fact that when a Yummy email (no pun intended) is in there, I will not be able to open it for hours and hours and even when I do, I'll click open then look away from the screen for ages. I have psychic positive feelings then I get psychic negative feelings ha ha ha.
Ahaha Thats a good way to do things, quick an easy. Good thinking =D I think I will get my mum to read it for me. Just so the choices will be "Yay your in =D" Or "Disney has gone on holiday... apply again in June kay =]"
Cazzie i obviously dont know you well but im guessing when it arrives in your inbox youll be running around the room screaming ha ha ha
You just smacked the hammer on the head dead on! hahaha Edit :: When I say hammer... I mean nail... You smacked the nail on the head. (sigh) I need a new brain, one that works properly.
Not worrying at all. Just means your brain mush is about the same consistency as mine, which is fine I mean we lasted this long right? Thats a good thing, I think I will be spending an entire day doing just that when I get there! xD
I think I'm going to have to master a few deep breathing techniques to use when I see I've got an email from Yummy Jobs. But I'll definitely have to open it almost straight away (after a moment of 'deep breathing, Emma, STAY CALM'), or the suspense might kill me! Only 3 more days before the applications (potentially) close - eek. That means we could be hearing pretty soon! Fingers crossed, anyway. The horrible weather in Britain is definitely making me long for sunnier climes ...
Ahahahah you just made my stomach try to eat itself from the "OMG IT'S SO CLOSE IT COULD BE THREE DAYS MAYBE ARGHHHH" Fingers crossed for everyone now because omg so close! Aha got to love the weather. The lovely sound of rain attacking my window this very moment makes me think "I miss the sun and warmth =[" I like the warm much much more than the cold
Im having notions to throw my comp against the wall, patience is not my strong point and i want to know if im with a shot as just finsihed my job last week and if im in with a shot ill need a new one for $$$$$ soon!
