S'funny how life takes some unexpected twists and turns. I am still awaiting some definitive response from work regarding my future re: health 'n' stuff. Partly due to this, I got in touch with a pet sitting company advertising for people to be sitters in our area. The other day, a nice lady from the company came to my house and, I suppose, gave me some form of interview i.e. she chatted, drank coffee and petted the kitts (who did a great PR job for me!)
As a result, she went away saying she would forward me the relevant paperwork. Today, a formal contract came through the post. Somehow, I have ended up as a registered pet sitter for Care4Pets (effectively self-employed with as much work as comes in and I am happy to take on) Getting paid for taking care of animals, how cool is that?
Btw, knowing that someone is coming to your house with the chance of offering you a job, you have to do the equivalent of putting your surroundings in a 'interview suit'. I do not think our little bungalow has been so presentable! Also, I have never before been offered a job after I have been interviewed whilst wearing jeans and a cardi and my cats playing with the feet of the interviewer. Very surreal, but I would thoroughly reccommend it ;)
