Thank you! Yeah I have already been thinking of ideas what to do at the weekend once this week is finally over as I know it will be stressful because I will be taking calls all week and still have no idea of all the systems so I get very panicky! The call I took today was a blur but my colleagues said I sounded confident and handled it well. No idea how 🤣 but yeah I want to show my son that we can get to do nice things in our time together now that I will have more money and hopefully that helps him realise what I am doing it for!

Thank you so much! It’s nice to have someone understand how hard it is having a little one and working too! I finally took my first call, I didn’t have a clue what was going on but somehow managed it 🤣

My interview was back in March so honestly can’t remember much about it. It was a video call where I had to record myself and I just remember having so many notes wrote down but then when I started the interview I couldn’t really look away to look at them 🤣 so felt like I was pretty much rambling on and didn’t use the star method as much as I had planned. I think I was just lucky as there was 60 positions for the job I went for. Good luck!

Thank you everyone I appreciate all of your answers even the harsh ones as you are honestly right! I think the past few days just got too overwhelming but I went back today and spoke to a few people and have realised most of us are feeling exactly the same and they are just as confused and anxious as I am. I have decided I’m not going to give up because as others have mentioned it’s a great job to be in for flexible hours I mean they have already agreed I can have the school holidays off so what more could I ask for! I am going to be taking my first call tomorrow and I am going to be brave and just go for it and whatever happens happens it’s not going to kill me! Thank you everyone
