Chants's Journal, 12 February 2008

So I've been job hunting this morning on the internet... and I've been exploring all sorts of different avenues but I just don't feel "grown up" enough apply for some of the jobs that are advertised. I feel as if I should be sitting at my desk at my first job and "playing" secretary not actually being a secretary... just read this email from a recruitment agency who thinks I'd be perfect for the job -

Hi Chantelle,

There seems to be a problem with their website at the moment. Just to give you a brief over view, the company has been established for over 100 years. They own both Residential and Commercial portfolios. The commercial portfolio is UK wide whilst the Residential portfolio is limited to Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Kensington. The residents tend to be Barons, Dames etc.... this is a multi million pound portfolio.

The development director is looking for a P.A/Secretary/Administrator to assist him on a daily basis. As this is a newly created position the successful candidate will need to implement a number of processes and procedures.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Lucy


Now to me this sounds like something someone much older than my 29 years would be able to do... C'mon... their Barons and Dames and very important people who I'd be dealing with, what makes Lucy think I'd be perfect?! She's not met me, she's only ever spoken to me once on the phone and seen my CV so why did she think I was perfect? What quality of mine jumped out at her for her her to put me forward for this job??

Did my stretching last night and ooooohhhh it felt good. The only "side Effect" it had was I slept in late this morning! Hehehe! I'm going to walk (balk at the sound of that!) into town today (my Dad says it should only take me 30mins!) and do some grocery shopping and then walk back... if this doesn't kill me then carrying the groceries will! Hahaha!

Don't doubt yourself and that you can't do it. This sounds like a wonderful opportunity. I'd email or call them back...all you have to do is interview...it is then up to you whether or not you want to take the job. I hope that you step out and see what this could do for you. Good luck!!

Oh my.... You should not be doubting your capabilities...Sometimes we don't think we are as good, or capable as we truly are. Apparently she sees it in you that you CAN do that job... Go for it. What an incredible opportunity that you should not pass up if is available to you. You may look back in 5 years and be so thankful you did it! The networking would be great... The contacts you will make.... You go for it girl!

Look at like playing Cinderella's PA!! :) lol (Sorry, we have Snow White playing in the background here!) lol Great idea to walk to town and I'll venture to guess you'll shop wisely thinking about what you'll be carrying back!! :)
