girlofpreyThe good news: I got the job.
The bad news: Because I am essentially working for a bank, I need to have a lot of credit and CRB checks done for security reasons, so I won't officially start until the 31st October.
The good news: That means the random dates I threw at them for the trips I'm planning to take in October are no longer binding, and I can go whenever I like, and I can also go to kickboxing for another few months at least.
The bad news: Idk how I'm going to pay for all of that, I'll have to dip into my savings and then pay it back later I guess.
But. I got the job. So I have a little security in my future at least. And I should be employed by Christmas, which will be really nice. To be honest, the credit check thing is kind of throwing me a bit because I don't think my credit's great, but I think they're more looking for county court judgements and fraud than my dislike of credit cards. It just means a few months of not working, other than training days and stuff. I'm going into the Jobcentre today to see what that means for my benefits, although under the current government I'm guessing 'not much'. Also I need to buy a computer. Ouch. Oh, and my Job Advisor woman said I'd get working tax credits if I got a job within a certain amount of time of finishing ESA, so I don't know how that's going to stack up either. So it's not the best possible outcome. But I am seeing it as a positive thing. Hurray!
