The story of how Sasch got her job

So when BH rang me and told me it was time we moved to Melbourne, I quickly had to think about my work situation. We still had no idea as to when we'd be moving, but assumed it would be mid November.

When BH got home, I had found a perfect position via the internet at a Fertility Clinic, for 2 days per week, based in East Melbourne. I showed it to him, and without missing a beat he told me to apply.

I wrote my cover letter and CV within the space of thirty minutes (it's been ten years since I last created one!); and then sent it off to get checked by a friend who reviews CVs for a living. She got back to me the next day and after a little tweaking, I sent the application off at 10 past 1.

Not fifteen minutes later, I received a call from the Clinic's HR manager. After a brief chat about my relevant experience, she asked if I would consider flying down for an interview. I said I would, and we started talking dates and times.

To cut a long story short, I ended up having a Skype interview two days later on the Friday, and on Monday I was offered the position!

It really was perfect timing and it's exactly the type of job I was looking for. I'll be working two days a week, in a brand new facility, which just happens to be a block away from my favourite park in Melbourne. Perfect for lunch breaks!
