Finally found a job

Comment Published at 11:2411:2416 comments16 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

Did my first day at being an exam invigilator (had never heard of it before) but all it is, is a job where you watch kids sit their exams and hand out and collect the test papers. It's not a permanent job it's casual and flexible but it will do for now, and it looks like I will be busy doing this from now till the end of June. Still not giving up on my dream to be a TA but at least this will help me towards the cost of my NVQ. The only problem with this job is that it's either early morning or late afternoon so I have to pay for before and after school clubs for my youngest which doesn't leave me with much left over from what I earn.  Anyway shouldn't moan I know a lot of my friends are not having much luck at the moment so I wish them all the best and I hope things improve for them soon.

Thanks Thuy

It's only a temporary job but I just feel like it's such an achievement after trying for so long.  I do feel like my dream is getting a little closer every day will be starting my NVQ in Sep so then I will have a qualification to help me on my way.

Love Maria xxxxxxxxx

Re: Finally found a job

Hi Marg

I love keeping busy it gives me lot less time to think and be sad. It's a shame the rest of my brood don't know it's mother's day, I could do with a cup of tea in bed and some pressies, lol.  My first experience at being an exam invigilator was so scary it was at a boys secondary school which doesn't have the greatest of reputations, think my heart was in my mouth all the time I was there, lol.  Will be going to an all girls secondary school on Tuesday so I'm feeling a little more relaxed.

Take care, love Maria xxxxxx

Thanks Kellz

I was feeling quite low because I wasn't getting anywhere so this has really helped me get back up again, jobs are pretty hard to get but luckily with this one they seem to find it hard to get people to do it because it's casual and only temporary.

Hope you have a great weekend, love Maria xxxxx

Re: Finally found a job

Thanks Cazza

I'm so happy that my persistence paid off.  It was quite an experience walking into a secondary school full of boys.  It's a wonder I didn't run back out screaming, lol.  Still want to be a TA in a primary school but at least for now I'll have some cash to pay for my NVQ.

Looks like everyone in Australia is celebrating Mothers Day we've already had ours back in March, in England.

Have a great mothers day too, love Maria xxxx
