Employment Possible?
Feb. 4th, 2015 11:13 pm10:54pm: Maaaybe, I went and saw the lady at her house today to discuss the carer's position - she's very nice, and it sounds like a good position except for one thing...as part of her personal care some toilet related stuff is necessary. That was pretty much the thing I avoided when I did the one week placement for my course, not so much because I think it's beneath me or something, but because I'm not sure about my visceral reactions to such a thing. I mean I certainly wouldn't want to offend by making a horrified face or something, but I feel like I might not be able to help it. And this is a bit more involved that I thought it would be...I should probably spare you all the details though. :OP
Anyway, tomorrow I'm going for a trial with the current carer so I'll get to see how everything is done and whether I can hack it or not, I better decided quickly though, because I don't want to jerk the lady around. She can't start her day without a carer to help in the morning, so if I can't hack it I better step out of the way so someone else can do it.
Of course, all this is complicated by the fact that I called the lead my aunt gave me, another nice chap who told me to send in my resume and then a meeting could be arranged to see about getting me some work through his firm. I have no idea though, if it's a sure thing - like they have positions that need to be filled with clients or what. I guess I'll have to wait until we can meet, hopefully this week...
Finally, there's the library job! Which if my calculations are correct I can expect to hear a yay or nay for the interview stage on Monday. But it could be longer, who the Hell knows?
And this is why job hunting is so difficult, if you get more than one job at once how do you turn down one without sounding like a dick? Or worse, if you get one job, but then you get another one, the one you really want how do you quit the first one without being an ass? I suppose some would say if employers don't owe you a living then you don't owe them anything, but I'm so bad at that, I get anxious and will probably start crying and just generally feeling like a shit.
But, I suppose I shouldn't get ahead of myself, for one thing, maybe I'll be OK with this carer stuff - I did mostly all right at the Aged Care Facility, even with bodily functions limited my exposure to it was.
Anway, I should probably hit the hay, the hours are usually 8:30am to 11:30am, but tomorrow for my trial we have to start at 8am, so I need to be up at 7, so yeah, need that shut eye.
Wish me luck though! Being gainfully employed is what I'm aiming for after all, and hey helping someone is a good job to have.
For now, goodnight!
