Hi All,

After nearly a year of being out of work and Covid putting paid to a potential job lined up in Feb this year one of the jobs I applied for during lockdown in April got back to me 2 weeks ago. Had a teams interview which was novel and today I met up with the boss of the company and they offered me the job to start on the 30th of November. Add the 50p Sapphire I got from the car boot selling for £3600 at auction things starting to look up.

 

Congratulations and good luck, both at work and with more car boot sale finds!

 

Congratulations! Hopefully 2021 is much better year for all of us.

 

I'm happy to hear that things are starting to look up. Good luck at your new job and hope the future is brighter for us all.

Always think of these two songs when things could be better...

 

Congratulations! That's got to be a great feeling, and a real accomplishment given the current level of uncertainty in....everything.

 

They had over 500 applicants and did 30 teams interviews !!

 

Good news. Well done. You will have a great Christmas now. Congrats

 

So nice to hear, thanks for sharing the good news,
And big congrats

 

Congratulations!

 

Fantastic to hear @bags1971, nothing like getting back into the game and to achieve your new job this year deserves a huge pat on the back

 

Another working class hero

 

Congratulations and good luck in new job.
My wife and I bought a house and moved back to her childhood place some time before covid occured.
She finally got a good job at an airport and was
about to sign the contract, covid19 came a long..
Thanks a lot..

 

But seriously congrats dude it is really tough being out of work I was for quite a while after an injury. I really felt things crashing down for a bit. It’s good to hear these stories as you can get screwed up mentally and think “as it is now it shall always be.” That is almost never the case, things are always changing. It’s a tough time for a lot of people. On top of that it’s very hard to access help that was once readily available. So good on you and I hope it’s a story often repeated here for those in need.

 

Thanks for the good story!
Congratulations!

 

Great news! Best of luck with the new job

 

Well done, you. I also spent 6 months on the bench thanks to covid cutbacks. As soon as that first paycheck posted (which was tiny due to the timing of pay periods) I went out and treated myself to a reward for having shown restraint during the hard times. So find something to treat yourself because you deserve it.

 

Congratulations!! What a fantastic achievement. Best wishes.

 

All the best with the new job. I hope 2021 treats everyone better!

 

Congratulations, great that you are getting back into work. What's the story of the sapphire- I don't remember reading about it here?

 

Congratulations, very pleased for you and good luck with the new job - I think that counts as a good reason to get a new watch for the first day at your new job

Hopefully with the vaccine news, 2021 will be a better year for all of us!
