So it's back to Adelaide, back to reality, back to the job search...
First thing Friday morning, I began shooting off the resume into cyberspace. Less than an hour later, I received a call from Stillwell, a temping agency, offering to have me come in today (Tuesday) and do some testing to be placed with a job. Wow! Then later that afternoon, I walked down to the bus station and applied to a job with Grayline, a touring agency. I had heard about the position because the driver on the Barossa tour I was on with mom mentioned there would be a temporary position open while a lady went on maternity leave. Sweet! Then Sunday, the tupperware lady has been trying to get me to become a tupperware salesperson. She called me again today! I don't really want to do that; hopefully something else will pan out. I also picked up a form at Subway in the city that was hiring. So I may have a job soon!
My testing went sooooo well today. I was stressed about the tests because I haven't used word or excel in a while (and I don't even have them on this laptop to look around a little). The test only let you try twice then it was wrong (like if you were searching around to find where the correct thing to click is and accidentally click something, the next thing you click has to be right or it's counted wrong). I actually figured some stuff out that I didn't even know how to do though, so that was good. I thought I did bad to average, but the tester came in and said:
word: 75% (I was like, ew, and she said it was really good because most people get 20-30%)
excel: 85%
Spreadsheet entry: I can't remember, but it wasn't great because I had some errors
Typing: 45 wpm, but only 4 % error.
Also, only 12 weeks until I am home for a while. I need to buy my ticket soon to come back, but I was trying to wait and make sure I got a job. I will keep you updated...
