Gainful employment

Yay I got the job I was after! I'm so relieved and happy as I really wanted it ~ the job sounds ideal for me as a creative soul and someone who loves working with the online industry. I'm going to be doing web copywriting and SEO (Search Engline Optimisation) and I can't wait to start!

I haven't worked for a while due to my recent operation and preparations for travelling to New Zealand plus since I've been here on a holiday visa I haven't been allowed to work so being stuck at home alone every day gets boring ~ believe me!

Now I have a job offer related to my experience I can apply for a temporary work permit before I go through the full immigration application. I'm still gathering up the documentation required for the immigration process ~ you need copies of all sorts of things from birth and marriage certificates, to proof of address, passports, references about your work experience etc. plus a police check and medical ~ it's not cheap and not easy but I hope we'll be successful as we have a mortgage now and want to stay.

My first job interview

I went for a job interview at a web promotions company last week and I've been called back for a second interview on Thursday! The job is for web copywriting and search engine optimisation - I've always loved anything to do with the Internet and my last marketing role involved a lot of digital marketing so its right up my street.

Fingers crossed that I get this job because I really want it!!!

Sparks in the Park

On Thursday Rob and I met up with some friends in Hagley Park, Christchurch for the ASB Classical Sparks - an open air concert with fireworks set to live classical music plus showsongs from several musicals and live jousting!!!


The river in Hagley Park

The weather was warm but windy, but that didn't spoil the atmosphere or spoil the fireworks, and we had a great night.
