I got the JOB!

Postby jayboi2005 » Thu 30 Mar 2006 3:52 pm

Hello Jay again
well most of you have heard me going on about job interviews. Well, just wanted to say i got the job as an IT Technician. Im not too sure why its called that as the job isn't really as the name says. I will be doing everything from web design to sales and marketing. Server management and customer and supplier problems. So it is very hands on which is great as i wont get board! I seen a different woman at the access to work team and they said that someone from RNIB will come out and look at the work place and make any adaptations they feel i need. Bigger monitor the lot. I might get a little brain washed as they are all women in the office but it will be fun. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere when i went in there and i stayed for 2 hours and time seemed to fly. So im quite happy now. :lol:

Absolutely fantastic news, Jayboi. Well done!

Sounds like an interesting job, too. What sort of company is it?

They make pens, notepads, clocks, t-shirts everything you can think of. However they personalise them for companies with logos and things. So next time you get one of these free pens through the post with Cancer Research printed on or something like that think of me!

I have to say though they were very supportive of me having KC. We talked about how it would affect my work performance, then we spoken about how we would cure any problems KC would create. So it is nearly sorted a bigger monitor a special keyboard and mouse. And i basically should be fine, most paper work that i need to use or know about is via an intranet and everything on my screen will be enlarged anyhow. :D

Congrats! from what you said in your last post it seems you have a very supportive environment!
KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

If adjustments are made with help of RNIB and Access to Work your new employers will get it all for free.

Don't get too flash now you are earning :D
