I GOT THE JOB!
I'm very happy!
I start on Wednesday and I'll be getting $15 per hour (much better than the $10.25 every supermarket and cafe tries to shaft you with).
The job is described as "mind-numbingly boring" by the person who interviewed me, but I'll be reading some pretty important cases in New Zealand's legal history. I also hope that this job will give me a leg up into a summer clerk role or something.
That's great! We knew you were likely in when they were going to check references.
atta boy!!
yes, we knew it
$10.25 every supermarket and cafe tries to shaft you withIf only you lived in Nebraska...... I would take a job with that pay in like 5 seconds flat.
Good Job ! errrr shitty jobf but good on you for getting it, or something.anyways congradulations.
Not after the exchange rate you wouldn't.I'm also now a law campus celebrity, my video made the rounds of the law lecturers and they thought it was hilarious. I've even got a free chocolate frog out of it.
Very true.
Congrats
Congratulations!!
Well done, but since you now earn more money than me. Bastard!Mr. Nuts
Congrates! Very happy for you!
Right on!I know what islike to not have a job....Good starting pay... Good thing you're not in Texas... The wages really SUCK here...
Congratulations, sounds like an interesting job to me. I'd prefer that over packing someone's groceries or working in a production plant any day.Minimum wage here is $7.00/hour and most of the easy jobs in fast food, cafes, supermarkets, etc pay only slightly above. Luckily, Alberta is booming and there are a ton of other jobs available, but I still haven't found one that I've got a response from (other than looking for permanent positions or an employer who lied about the wages they were paying on an ad - $11 as opposed to the advertised $20). I'm going for something $12+.
Yea with the exchange rate we have a similar minimum wage, though the cost of living is lower here.
I had my first day yesterday, it was very exciting. I have to have my swipe card to go anywhere in the building and I got the full rundown on what happens in the event of a bomb, some nutcase threatening to kill someone etc.
And the most exciting part is that I'm dealing with cases that have been in the news. I get to see all the evidence that noone else does. Unfortunately, I can't talk about it of course. "You see all, hear all and know nothing", that's what the lady in charge said.
The best thing about the whole thing is that it is extremely flexible. The work is always there for me to do, so when I have some free time I just drop in and work however many hours I want. It's going to be good in the holidays as I can pretty much work fulltime!
