A job interview

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.
