LOL, What do you do for a crust? I'll keep my eyes open for ya.

This came out of the blue. Phone call Wednesday arvo was I interested in applying for the role, Phone call Thursday, they liked the resume, interview this morning and call back 3 hours later with an offer. Dunno how the hell it worked, there was no PD to review beforehand so I just walked in and winged it. I'm nervous as hell and excited at the same time.

Congrats mate.

Got a phone call yesterday from a private employment agency in Brisbane (where I will be moving too as of this Thursday) that I sent my resume to last week and they informed me that they distributed my resume to their employer base and 13 companies would like to have the agency screen interview me for positions they have available...I am stoked :)

Cheers

Another day down at Moana beach that you can drive on!

Took lunch down this time, and Daughter number 2 and her family also came down. Chelsea had a ball in the water, not too many waves, but lovely warm water!
