With my funds dwindling and life of eternal comfort becoming threatened I decided it was finally in my interests to get a job. Everyone had spoken highly of Julia Ross so two weeks ago I merrily dropped in a cv and never heard from them again.
Of course this suited my leisurely living so I ignored them until two days ago. I had come from a horrendous morning of basking which was cut short by my lack of a licence. I dragged myself to the agency in low spirits. This time they decided to ask me to take a word, excel and typing test. I clicked too quickly quite often and had a conversation in the middle of the typing. It was thoroughly disastrous.
When the girl printed out the results she looked shocked. I apologised until she said she was shocked because I had scored at least twice the average in everything. Suddenly everyone was interested in me.
The next morning I got a call from the regional manager. I dropped in to town to see him, delighted to have work so soon. When I got there though, there was no such news.
As it turned out, he had read the sailing aspect of my CV and wanted me to work on his yacht.
I dropped down late after a leisurely morning, not even having a chance to wash off the mist of the last nights indiscretion. We chatted for hours and bonded over boating and, after some planning of the electronics, the next day he invited me to a family dinner.
I have just returned from it.
So to sum up, in two days I have gone from being completely ignored by the main recruitment agency in Darwin to being friends with the head man in the area.
Now all I need is a job.
