It's my life - a diary in remembrance of Felix

Well, I went for my interview for a job with a company called B.A.A. at Heathrow Airport. The position is security guard at Heathrow Airport. It was the most gruelling and exhausting day and interview I have ever had in all of my life. It was an assessment day as well as an interview. I had several tests and it was an elimination process. If you passed, you went on to the next test, if you failed you was shown the door. Harsh but it must work. 21 of us started out in the group and only 5 of us got through and were offered jobs. I cannot believe I passed all the assessments and the interview and was offered a job!!! I am nothing special and was shocked that other people who seemed really confident did not get through. I was offered the job verbally on condition of references, CRB clearance, counter terrorist clearance and a medical. Fingers crossed eh? If I get through the rest I have a starting date for training on 29th August.

I still have the interview for the ambulance practitioner on Monday and deep down would prefer that job over the other one. I am not hedging my bets though and am prepared in case I dont get offered the job. I loved my nursing days and love anything to do with medicine so I know I will love the ambulance job. Because it is with the MOD I also have to be CRB cleared, counter terrorist cleared, have good references and pass as medical as well as doing a good interview. I suppose I performed well at Heathrow so there is no reason why I will not perform well again. Fingers crossed eh??

I will let everybody know how I get on at the interview.

Can I say a massive thank you to the following people who have sponsored me on my race for life. I really apreciate all the kindness people have shown and we are well over the £300 mark now which is wonderful. So thanks to:

  That's great news Jules... I also have my fingers crossed for the ambulance practitioner job, as that's the one you'd prefer :o)

  Wow!  I'm impressed!  I would think that security at  Heathrow would be a very tough job to get!  It needs to be for the way the world is today.  Good for you!!!  Great job.  So it is a good indicator that you will get the ambulance job!!
