I took my daughter for a job interview on Tuesday afternoon ...... http://www.brook.org.uk/brook-oldham  Apparently they'd only phoned her last Friday to invite her to attend .... and woken her up too 
They phoned her this afternoon to say that she 'blew them away' at the interview & she's got the job! First proper interview too. She's no idea of salary! 

We're chuffed! 

Just need to get my lad working now. .........

Great stuff mate 

Likewise on getting my lad working, he's written to about 12 places now, none of them are interested  However he is waiting on a call from BMW to see if he can get in there on Saturdays, but they said they'd ring him this week, nothing yet

Well don, that girl! 

[SIR Philbutt]

Well done to her not easy done nowadays .. 

Additional income to the household as well - that's if you can get her to pay her "keep" 

[omegod]

Well done indeed, I presume it's the Brook advisory as my works email won't let me see the site. Given what she was doing with Lifeline it's a good avenue to get into the substance misusue field if thats what she wants to do! Jobs aren't easy come by and I know how hard it is to "blow away " an interview panel as I am on them all time.

[Darth Loo-knee]

Good for Her
Now stop that overtime Andy and get her board in 

[Johnny English]

Well done to her and congrats you, Andy !

Funny you should mention keep/board. She does work now, behind a bar & waitressing at council owned civic centres, & we'd just mentioned to her before Christmas that she should be out there looking for a job more suited to her uni degree and if she wasn't even looking she should be making a contribution 

[ninjapirate]

Well done! Hope it all goes really well for her. So difficult to get a job these days!
Ive got friends that literaly spend all week searching for jobs and sending aplication forms off, for over 12 months and still no luck!

25% of net income here - cheaper than renting thats for sure

[Dishevelled Den]

Great news indeed, well done to her.

[Andy B]

....

I'll print that off to show her! 

[LJay]

That's fab news Andy!  Really pleased for you both. 

[SIR Philbutt]

....

Just to expand on that
"Life lessons" dictated the need for a decent amount of "keep"
Plenty of "My friends dont pay that much" with "they dont live here" replies
When they earned nothing they paid nothing
When they moved into their own places we helped by buying essentials, eg pots, pans, cutains etc,etc so they did get quite a lot back and appreciated it
Good luck implemeting that one

time to be a proud dad

[Andy B]

Thanks to all for your replies. 

[henryd]

Nice one Andy, one less worry for you and SWMBO, our eldest lad has just been accepted into the navy but may have to wait a while to go in, luckily he's already got a job so is self sufficient, congrats to your daughter as its not easy getting good jobs these days

[Richie London]

Good news. my boy started another job in a nightclub yesterday so 2 jobs plus college.  good lad

[Stallion]

Well Done To HER! and CONGRATS To You Andy!! 

[Andy B]

...... our eldest lad has just been accepted into the navy but may have to wait a while to go in, ....

Not too far to Raleigh then. 

[Amigo]

Great news mate. Give proud Mum a congratulatory Amigo hug from me...& your little girl if that's appropriate!!!!

    You'll have to settle for a handshake & a manly pat on the shoulder! Guy.

[Vamps]

Great news Andy, good for her.....

Does you lad need a gentle kick?.....

Thanks Mike

Does you lad need a gentle kick?.....

Not sure about the gentle bbit. The 'best bit' though, is that from tomorrow night he'll be back under our roof. Even his Grandma has now had enough of him.

Or did he escape from the garage through that rotten door

About 70 miles so not too bad

[jonnycool]

Well done to her Andy, you have reason to be very proud. I have to interview young people for jobs and trust me, the standard of teenagers coming out of schools has to be seen to be believed (in a very, very bad way)

I know what you mean, and Miss Vamps is only 11, great that she is so confident and secure and self assured, but I foresee some arguments in the future, she seems to manage me quite well now....

Emily is 22 and I can honestly say we've rarely ever argued 

[Kevin Wood]

I hope she does well.

Nice to hear some good employment news these days.

Aha, like me you just roll over and give in, I have to say she has me wrapped around her little finger.....
It is not easy to put on a forum the relationship we have, but it is about as good as it could get.....mind she has just Fraped me on face book, something that until last week I did not know such a word existed.....
She loves coming into work with me, she likes to chat to the women in the office and encourages them to 'Pick on Me'......

[Andy B]

......mind she has just Fraped me on face book, something that until last week I did not know such a word existed..... .....

It's still a new one on me!?!?
