I've heard back from one of the companies I'd applied to. Indeed, it was long enough back that I'd applied to them that I'd actually written off hearing back from them.
I had a phonecall and a brief screening interview. It's going to be an interesting process for the both of us, I think - they want me to bring along a copy of my high school diploma, for one thing. I suggested that I bring along my university diploma, but no, their system insists on knowing that I graduated high school. I wish now I'd pointed out that my education qualifications were apparently good enough for me to be able to get into the country, but perhaps I should leave that until I know if they're going to offer me the job or not.
This one is working in a call center - ironically, for the same company I was working for before, just a little higher up the food chain. There are a few things that make it a little unattractive - it's shift work, as they need people there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and shifts start between 7am and midnight. I don't mind that, I don't think, though I'm told that the shifts are on rotation, so quite what it's going to do to my sleep patterns, I hate to think. Additionally, it's based over on the other side of the city, and while I can get there on public transport, it does mean that I'll be getting up at 5am for a 7am start, and spending an hour and a half on the bus on either side of a shift does appeal much. I guess there's always a car, but, well - you have read the preceding post about the snow, right?
The interview is on Monday, at 2pm, so I'll have a better idea after that what I'm going to do.
