Guess who's newly employed? (That was quick!)
March 14th 2008 08:40
It all happened so fast... I called up Manpower, an employment agency yesterday, and they told me they had a job for a person with good eye-hand co-ordination, which I told them I had. And so today, after being inundated with forms for two hours, I emerged with the contact details for my brand new jewellery-making job! I'm starting work this Monday, from 7:30am-3:30pm in Chippendale, and the rate is $19/hr!
Here's the website for Chemgold, if you're interested: Really Long Link
They have some really nice stuff, like this piece below:
Apparently Larry, the boss, wanted someone who was sweet, committed, and fit in with his existing team of about five people. There have been a few people who tried the job that just weren't suitable, so Natalie at Manpower and Larry are hoping that I will be the person they're looking for. I'm to ask for a Chinese woman called Jolly when I get there in two days' time. It looks like she will train me.
The funny thing is, the O'Connor Street location is on the corner of Abercrombie St, which is where Resistance have made their home! If I feel like it, I can drop in one day and see what they're doing... good old misguided but well-meaning Resistance... the rainbow spectrum of activist groups wouldn't be the same without them.
I wonder what my co-workers will be like.
Apparently one of the ways Natalie identified that I was right for the job was that I played guitar, so I would be good with my hands. I do like doing delicate, sophisticated, intricate work. I'm not sure to what extent you control the tools you're given, and I'm looking forward to finding out!
Adieu for now my darlings~
P.S. I can't believe I have a job!

Exciting indeed! Thank you, I hope it all goes well too! It's the start of an entirely new adventure for me, and hopefully the positives will outweigh the negatives.
Hi JD,
You are most eloquent. Thank you for your congratulations.

I'm afraid I'm not quite with you: Which market stand are you talking about?
I just finished my first day, and it's relatively okay... but I also have an interview to work IN a jewellery shop as a salesperson over the counter, and if I get that job I may switch.
