I got a job!!
« on: October 18, 2012, 02:38:47 PM »
I'm officially hired in the UK! After owning my own business in the USA for 18+ years, I didn't really expect to find a job that would suit me...but apparently I am hireable! SO EXCITED!

Just had to share!

Thanks to everyone on this board for posting so many great job related threads - I didn't necessarily ask a lot of questions, but I did do a lot of research here - clothes, CVs, interviewing, etc. This board is such a great resource!

Thanks,
Shelly

After all it was a great big world, with lots of places to run to.
And if she had to die trying she had one little promise she was gonna keep.
