I got a job!

[wrimad]

Just posting out of joy, really!

Been a sahm for 7 years, and a lone parent for the last three of those.

I took a chance and applied for a job that I knew I could do, even though I have this huge gap on my CV, and am about 20 years older than everyone else who works there.

I got really positive feedback from my application and then called to an interview, which went amazingly well despite my nerves, and now I'm employed and allowed to work from home!!

So so happy, and I really didn't think it possible - the idea of being able to work and support myself has seemed like a dream. Now it seems like I just might be able to do it :)

Fantastic! Go you!!

Congratulations OP, I'm really pleased for you, bloody well done!

Congratulations!!

Many many congratulations! I got a job after 8 years as a SAHM so know how you feel. It’s amazing and unlocks a different part of you. Have fun celebrating!

Thanks everyone - yes to unlocking a different part of me - it really does feel fantastic!

Hurrah!!!!!!!

Fantastic well done op great news

Congratulations! Well done you

Well done. I've been a SAHM now since 2011 and I'm really starting to feel I need something else.

Well done! Brilliant.

What’s the job?

I don’t want to out myself but the job involves being very literate, good with words, and good with spelling, grammar, etc. Being able to create, too. I had to argue to be able to work from home ( I need to for various reasons), but they saw my points and agreed.

Good luck with it!

Congratulations! It was an amazing feeling when I got mine after 9 years of career break! I too working with younger people but soon moving into team where most are older.

Good luck and hope you will enjoy it!

Thank you

That's great, congratulations and well done!
