Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | WAHOOOOOOOO I GOT THE JOB!!!

started off not so great...tummy was A COMPLETE MESS as expected and I ended up taking I think it was 15 immodium in the end....yikes...but then it settled pretty quickly! I scoffed a bowl of porridge before I went and then felt REALLY sick before going to the interview...NOT A GOOD IDEA...was also majorly dehydrated...IT WAS SOOOOOOOO HOT HERE TODAY...I cant take it...I HATE inner city heat!!!

Anyways...turned out it was 4 lads and me for the interview...hehe....lucky me....2 good looking ones and 2 not so great looking ones...but I had fun. We had to do a group discussion thing and talk about the 24 hour drinking laws and what we all thought about them...so boring! Then we watched a video...which was soooooooooo cheeesy! Then we were meant to have a data entry test but the system was down so we got out of it...YAY!!

After that...we all had to sit and wait to be called in for the FINAL INTERVIEW...the lads were all really nice and I felt very calm before I went in....had been VERY jittery in the morning. I was 2nd in...and had a young quite good looking man do my interview....found that quite funny....he was really nice though....asked me some tough questions and was probing and asking so many things...but I answered well...maybe missed out a few things I'd planned to say...and then I had Role play where I had to direct someone to my local supermarket and then a 'what would you do if you're friend owed you �150 and wouldn't give it back?'

After all of that he went off to credit check me and then came back and said we would love to offer you the position...BUT...and I thought Oh god no...what??? And he said...we need a bank statement as proof that you live at your student address. I always get statement send home for safety reasons and so didnt have one. He said I wouldnt be able to start without it. So I legged it to the bank and they wouldnt print me one...said it had to go through post and advised I didnt change my address as home one is safer.So then I went to the recruitment agency to speak to the woman who referred me for the job...and then she had to make several calls. And then....after all of that...they said I could get my landlord here to sign something...so he did.

I then went back at 4.45 to start training. There are 16 of us...we've been split into 2 teams...everyone is LOVELY...no arrogant, pretentious or annoying people as I was expecting. The Team leader who is training us is FABULOUS...I LOVE HIM....hes gay and very camp and sooooooooo funny....hes making it so much fun I think Im gona really enjoy the training. Only thing am not so keen on is all the presentations and stuff we're gona have to do...but I always have to do them with uni...just not something I look forward to...but I'll cope.

So...everythings cool....oh and I get paid a full months wage on 26th of this month...how great is that???

Also...there are so many insentives and perks with the job its ridiculous...they even have complementary therapists and chiropractors and massage people in from time to time for the staff....and 25% NEXT discount and free �40 a month gym membership and bus pass discount....and if you surpass you're targets you get points and for so many you have the chance to win cars, tvs, �1000.....its too good to be true really!
