Hi there,

So far no word from either recruitment agency regarding the two different roles that I had applied for.

I am beginning to accept that perhaps my returning to the work force isn't part of the grand design just yet. I am telling myself to "Just relax and go with the flow" in that regard. 

I have to believe "that it was meant to be that I will find the right role that fits the hours that I want to work". I am trying to keep an open mind about opportunities and being patient. I have already knocked back one job as I just knew from how the interview went that the manager would not be good to work for. I'd never knocked back a job before!

I have been very honest about what I'm looking for in each interview. I am letting God take care of the rest.

The Thursday interview went very well. It's a bit further away than I really wanted but the manager is friendly, open and honest. It was a fun, chatty interview. So I am keen to be contacted for a second more serious interview! The pay is an improvement on my last role too!

The Friday interview was ok. I mean I did impress them but I did read the body lanuage and noted the crossed arms and hostile way the CEO was to me. The pay would be great but the expectations are not worth losing my soul for! Plus they ingnored my statement about being part time! They expect full time and unpaid over time with it!. After the interview I felt like I should withdraw my application. Yet instead, I felt that they surely will find someone to accept their working conditions whereas I will not so I haven't bothered with submitting a retraction of my interest in the role. If I get asked to go for a second interview then that is when I'll formally retract my expression of interest.

I am enjoying my time with my son. His smiles and laughter. So I know I'm not going to be in a rush to accept any role that is not going to be right for me, my son and family.

Take Care,
