To tell you all that I got a job!

[PomBearWithoutHerOFRS]

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 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 but after almost 20 years of not working, and being rejected by McDonalds among other places, I am buzzing

I know it's been a while, but today I did my first shift in the new job.
I was only able to shadow someone else, but I got involved, did what I could, stuck it out for over 11 hours, and can't wait to go back
I have to do various training bits and bobs, and shadow for a while until I get sorted, but I am so pleased with myself, and feeling positive for the next steps.
Thank you all for the good wishes, I am honestly not sure I could have summoned the courage to actually go without you Best of Vipers supporting me!

So happy for you. Put a smile on my face . It's such a great feeling when you get that call back. Congratulations OP

Congratulations! So glad you enjoyed your first shift. Its a hugely important job you're doing, and your positive attitude about it will shine through to your clients who kbow you're there because you want to be, this will have a really positive impact on them too. Well done!

Well done! You sound perfect for it 😁

I made a new friend, aged 97! who (after giving me a good telling off for "fucking smirking"!) was thrilled because I got her "The Big Fish" for lunch and was viciously assaulted with pease pudding and savoury duck at tea time. I walked about 20000 steps and sweated at least a stone off in weight, and enjoyed every minute

Fantastic!

Congratulations! Well done!

Brilliant! Well done!

OP congratulations what lovely news. Well done you!

Oh OP you sound so excited and happy, it actually made me smile reading your thread.

Well done, that's fantastic.

Well done OP! You have every reason to be very proud.
