the job got advertised internally this morning and everyone is saying i’m a shoe in but i’m not being over-confident. i’m actually quite worried. i had a meeting with the boss man about it earlier this afternoon and he was pretty much telling me what to put in my CV so i take that as a sign that he wants me in the position but there are still so many unknowns. what i do know is that this job is a step up (not lateral like i originally thought) and i think a pay rise may come with it. i spent the morning updating my CV and writing my cover letter and i sent it off about half an hour ago. over and done with. i have an interview next week friday and then i’m on holiday for three weeks. i hate waiting. i’m not very patient. i have a half day tomorrow to indulge in some retail therapy to calm my nerves.
i’ve been sizing up who i think is my competition and i think i have a pretty good shot. One of my colleagues said he’s going to apply for it and he’s my biggest threat. He’s qualified and he’s soo nice, everyone loves him. Standing next to him makes me look like a C-U-Next-Tuesday but then again, that may stand in my favour. you never know.
