Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[NathDogg]

Thanks everyone for the feedback and advise. I really appreciate and value your opinions!
The hiring process at my college can be quite cumbersome. In addition to completing several pages of questions answering all sorts of things, one must also submit a CV, cover letter, university transcripts, reference letters. Then if one is fortunate enough to be invited to an interview then there is a long interview to answer questions from a six-eight-member committee. Once one makes it to the final round there are two more interviews and if they settled on hiring you there is a background and references check before the job is finally offered. I know it because I have gone through it before and it is a very stressful process, at least for me, and it can be especially disheartening if you don't get the job after going through such lengthy experience. I didn't mention on my previous post that this job became available last year, and I applied for it, but the committee decided to hire another Latina woman that had just moved to Asheville and impressed them more than me, but less than a year into the job she has already left it for a position at a local university. Before I left for CR I had noticed the job was available but wasn't contemplating applying for it until my supervisor urged me to consider it. After much pondering and consultation with the hubby, I have decided to apply for the job but I'm having a hard time finding the right words for the cover letter since I have already submitted one for the same job before. I am finding myself out of words on how to best express that this time around I'm the right person for the job. So, until I get my inspiration I have decided to stop by for a quick greeting. One aspect that I love about our chats is how much fun I have and how many giggles I enjoy while reading all of your post, it really brightens my day. If I get the job, I'm probably going to be much busier than now, and it may limit my time here at GOT and that's an aspect about it that I wouldn’t be very happy about

Best of luck Sass, they'd be mad not to give you the role.

Oh I’ve just had a doner meat and chips from the kebab house ! Lovely stuff.

There was quite a few on London Road as I remember.

Watching this remembrance made me cry. So many young and old blue fans that were lost last year. Karl’s pic wasn’t featured but his name was definitely listed.

@Reedy1979 this is the best pic I could get.

Brilliant @Sassy Colombian ...my brother Paul's name would have been on there as he passed away on April 12th but not found it yet.
Best wishes to you and your family xx

Very best of luck Sassy , our loss will be your employers gain.

If you need any help with your application letter I'm sure Davek or Foreverblue92 off the main forum could help , they certainly get enough practice - just don't go all Zat with the multi quotes thingy !

I'm sorry, Jazzy. You are right, I've been guilty of using multi quotes a lot in recent weeks. But sometimes it is just the most practical thing to do when wanting to answer to several people on the same thread otherwise then I'm writing 20 post. I promise that in the future (no tonight lol) I ill limit my multi quotes thingy.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Sometimes I wish there was a ? or ? reaction emoji that one could respond to post because you all deserve one instead of just a "like"

Thanks again everyone for all the encouragement and sweet compliments. I'm very flattered and moved by your expressions of praise. I hope I can convey to the committee that I'm the right candidate for the job because I know I can make a great impact in the recruitment and advising of a more diverse community at the college, if they only give me the chance. But if it doesn't happen then it wasn't meant to be and I will continue planning our trip to Europe instead. I will let fate lead my way

Good night, friends. xx

Good morning all, busy day ahead, two lots of visiting nurses today at unspecified times, shopping to do, pharmacies to visit, must get my mum out today, the lift has been down for the last couple of weeks so she's been somewhat of a prisoner in her own home.
Who said this retirement lark is easy?
My dad is a lot better this week after his fall, he's still badly bruised but pottering about a bit better.
I will try to get them out for a meal tomorrow that will give give them a boost.
Have a good day everyone the first normal day after the Christmas break, should be fun?
Got.my tickets yesterday for the Villa game, there's 5 of us coming down including one of my grandson's, we're going to keep it a big surprise until the last minute, he will be beyond excitement when he realises.

Morning everyone.

Fully back into my fitness and training regime now.

Good hours weight training ( only light weights , being muscle bound is bad for ping pong) and got a great sweat up last night playing for an hour.

OK so big day for doggie today. 2nd x Ray and then we get a far greater insight into his problem.

Mrs J still suffering from her ear infection , it smells terrible , so hopefully a consultation with the GP will help.

Doesn't look like there are going to be any further restrictions so subject to nothing castrophic with the dog the holiday to the Caribbean looks on.

If I'm being honest I'd rather not go as the thought of testing positive over there and not being able to come home fills me with dread but unless P &O cancel we would have to lose a lot of money not to go.

Looks like Benitez gets to sign another full back but interestingly both appears to have been targeted by Brands so really not sure what's going on.

@larbert toffee hope everything is OK with mum and dad , tough time for you mate.

weather forecast for today is lovely so I hope everyone has a great time.

Glad to hear that things are improving with mum and dad.

Will your grandson ever forgive you for inflicting the pain of Everton on him LT ? lol

Thanks mate. Yeah it seems to be here as well, thankfully. I can see some blue sky amongst the clouds.
