Didn’t get the job

Saturday, October 31st, 2009 10:09am GMT

well what a week, went for the job interview on Monday then had some tests to do on Thursday, boy it was hard, my brain ached. only to be telephoned later and told I hadn’t been successful. Oh well at least I have a job.

The new neighbours are still rebuilding the garden, after taking all the leylandii trees out and burning them last week , which really annoyed everyone as all the cars in the road were covered in ash. They have now got the fence up, great for us as the trees were umanagable. Woken up again this morning with the digger in the garden and the hammering in the house (new kitchen and bathroon suite going in).

It’s all go.

Applying for a New Job

Friday, October 16th, 2009 12:18pm BST

Well I have started the process of applying for a new job within the Police who I already work for. The new role I am applying for is that of Air Obsever on the forces helicopter. This will be a challenging application process let alone a challenging job. Yesterday I attended the briefing and succesfully passed the “spatial awareness ” tests.

Today I have been writing all the information to go on the application form to send it in ready for the paper sift which takes place on the 23rd October. If I get through that stage the next hurdle will be classroom tests and interview, then would be a trip to RAF Cranwell for leadership tests and other air obsever tests, if lucky enough to get passed this stage then comes the airbourne navigation excercises and soit goes on one hurdle after another until your accepted for training.

Oh and you also have to pass the fitness test so I’m off for a training run later, I haven’t done any running for many years so its going to  be very hard. I’ll add some more when I am capable of breathing again!!
