There were only two of us interviewing for the temporary positions so instead of a group interview, I ended up having a one-on-one with the Manager of HR (which I was happy about). It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be and they even offered a step up from what I applied for and I am so happy that they were able to see the potential in me and what I could offer to the position.
I had to fill out millions of forms which took me almost 30 minutes to complete because I made sure I read every single little detail before filling them in and signing them LOL
Anyways I wanted to thank you all for your support and encouragement and I promise I won't be a stranger and will visit often. My first training session doesn't start until next Wednesday so I'll answer as many posts as I can before then.
Thanks for your support once again. :):)
Rachel :):)

I'm so happy for you! Good luck with the new job. I know when I started my new job, MyLot had to go to the backburner for a bit. I now mostly get to do it on the weekend, but my job is worth it. Anyway, good luck and congragulations again. [Flight84]
Thank you very much Flight. I had my first day of training from 9am-6pm yesterday and boy was I tired at the end of it. My first day of work starts this afternoon, so there is no mucking around, its straight into it. I am still nervous about the whole thing but will hang in there. I hope your job is going good for you too. I have a lot to catch up on here but it will have to wait until tommorrow as I'm not scheduled to work then YAY LOL Im going to need that day off.
