You know that RC job in Cumbria Rhubarb was dithering about? Well.................

[Rhubarb]

Looks like I'll be going!

The lady called back. They don't want to do a phone interview, they really want to see me in person. They can't pay for the flights but they can pay for petrol if I fill out a claim form, which I will do to pay Janh back - can you still do this Janh? She did say that the head interviewer would be really thrilled if I made the effort and went.

The hours are from 17.5 to 21 a week and very flexible, which is ideal! I would be able to start say, on Monday 24th July which gives us a week in the UK to find a house etc.

There are 5 other candidates and me. If I don't get the job she says there are others that come up, esp in Carlisle and she'll forward details of these onto me.

We're selling some stuff and have had enquiries already so hopefully we should make a bit of money back to pay for the flights. I'm going to book them now. Oh bloody Nora!

congratulations!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

good luck and hope it is worth it sounds very promising

(gulp!)

Fantastic Rhub. Good luck.

ooh ooh, new problem.... what will you WEAR?

Glad to hear this Rhuby, I was following yesterday's thread with interest. Hope it goes really well

Really pleased to hear this Rhurbarb - it does sound promising. Good luck!

and I am looking for work at the moment and you inspired me to look at working for charities and have found one vacancy to apply for..so thanks!

Brilliant!

Yes, I can still do it, but only if you keep the petrol money

Ooh - Carlisle has some lovely parts to it and is brilliant for access to the Lakes. Also, housing is relatively cheap in many areas still so could pick up a bargain. I was born in Brampton just outside Carlisle and loads of my relatives live there still. I love going to visit. So much to see and do
Brilliant news Rhubarb - good luck xx

that's great news Rhubarb!!!

just don't speak english with your french accent now, OK?

FANTASTIC news Rhubarb! That is so great
Very best of luck XXX

Fab news Rhubarb! Break a leg!

Oh I could crush a grape.

Fingers crossed.

thats fantastic. remember to post on the day so we can have a collective finger crossing for you.

Fantastic!

oooh brilliant Rhubarb! Remind me again of the date of the interview so we can all do positive vibes for you...

Just booking flights now but BMI baby are ripping me off, it says I can get 25% off the internet price if I call, so I did but the phone price is dearer and the lady didn't explain why. So I'm trying to call their centre in the UK but they are keeping me on hold. They shouldn't advertise that something is cheaper when it isn't should they? 25% off would make quite a difference!

Rhuby, I just checked the website - it says "up to 25% off phone price" - it means the web price is 25% less than the phone, not the other way round

Yeah, I get it now! Doh!

Booked it now anyway. What will I wear then?
