I have been a sahp for years now, my self confidence was at zero, but we need the money and I knew it was time I got a job.
I have been on a training course to update my knowledge and have applied for about thirty jobs with no luck.
Anyway, I had an interview this afternoon, and they called just an hour later to say I got the job!
I am ridiculously excited Grin and can't wait to get started.
I will be a support worker for adults with disabilities and/or MH issues, and will be actually making a difference to people's lives!
Shamelessly bragging here Blush but after almost 20 years of not working, and being rejected by McDonalds Hmm among other places, I am buzzing Grin

Oooh thanks all Grin I got hugs from my DCs which was nice, followed by a list of things they want!
I am hopeful that this will be a new start for us, DH is on the sick and it's my turn to "step up" so to speak, but I also think it will be really rewarding so am looking forward to getting started.

swingofthings · 22/11/2018 05:22

You should be very proud indeed. It shows that with perseverence it is possible to find a job after being out of work for years.

Working with people with disabilities/MH is hard work and can be very tiring but also hugely rewarding.

Well done, OP, and best of luck!!!!Wine
