Wow - Cam - then you must have had some serious pick me tears - huh?? he he he - Wow I have never imagined that but hey - nice to know you can be emotional!!!! I can say that I definitely felt like crying after a job interview ended - you know when you feel like you totally forgot to include some important information that would give them an idea that you are the one for the job!!!!

Woo Hoo Cam - that is awesome to hear!!!! Congrats on getting the new job!!!! And great that you can enjoy your holidays and then start up the new one!!!! I really miss working - but here in TX - the law states that you can't leave any children 10 & under home alone so guess I have a lil while longer to wait - unless I wanted a part time job - which would really not suit me well - I love to be kept totally busy with lots of different tasks!!! Anyway Congrats bud!!!!!

ha ha yeh i can be an emotional guy lol i guess i was just feeling the strain then i already had my little boy and my wife was pregnant with the second and i was in deserate need of a job i guess it just all came out in the end lol but it paid off so i dont look back at it being a bad thing either :).
Well i went for an interview on Monday to get another Engineering job as i am better now and feel it is time for me to go back to work ( The wife aint happy but i can make 3 times the amount she does at the moment ) so i just walked in calm as you like told the interviewer straight that basically im the guy he needed and that i am willing to train and step up the ladder so i left feeling pretty good about myself and he said he would let me know either way after the new year so its looking pretty good :)
Well at least this time i never cryed lol oh yeh by the way he phoned me wedensday morning and told me i start just after the new year :)

ha ha yeh i was a bit like that going up and down but i am not normally like this trust me i am usually very confident just this particular interview was for a place at my mothers work so i didnt want to let her down either i suppose. LOL the only other interview i ever had before this one was after i left collage and i went to my old work where i was for 8 years walked in asked if there was a job going and the boss man said can i hold a spanner and would i be willing to learn i said yes and bingo i had a job so that is all i could base an interview on till this one :)
Thanks for the kind comments and i really hope you have a nice day
