A couple of weeks ago I saw a job in the newspaper for a "Customer Service Administrator" with the Queensland Police Department.  I haven't thought about a job for the past 18 years or so years but thought "what the heck - I'll apply for the job and see what happens".  I had a phone interview last week and passed that and last Friday went for a group interview that lasted almost 5 hours!  They phoned that afternoon and informed me that I had been successful and the next step is an interview at Police Headquarters tomorrow!  I honestly thought I didn't have a snowball's chance in hell but I've got this far.  I'll let you know what happens after tomorrow.

Excellent ! :D

Fingers crossed for you Janine  ;)

Good luck, I hope everything works out for you! :)

Nice!

Best of luck then!  :)

Sounds great, hope all goes well  :)

Yeah...all the best!
and i commend you on your return to work...hope it all works out/

Everything's crossed for you ! Good Luck.  :)

Congrats...are you a copper on the beat yourself?

Lol, I too plan to work in Queensland when I graduate (As an urban planner) , cos I know they're just dying for planners over there. I'll become an honorary 'Banana-bender!'

Only probably...Sport. AFL is restricted to the Brisbane Lions  :P and Rugby League is the enemy. But enough about me, don't wanna still yer thunder...

That's great!  I hope it works out for you, Janine!!  8)

Good Luck  ;)

Good luck! Let us know as soon as you get the news!  :)

My fingers are crossed (but of course that makes it hard to type  ;) ).  Best of luck.




Cat

lots of luck,Janine!  :)

Hope everything works out :)

Thank you all you wonderful people for your words of encouragement.  :)  I had my interview this morning and won't hear definitely until Friday but my gut feeling is that I've got the job!  The policeman who interviewed me winked as he shook my hand as I was leaving and said "We'll be seeing you later"  :o  If I do get the job I'll be a CRISP (Crime Reporting Information System for Police) operator.  I'll be liaising with police officers, typing their reports etc.  Should be interesting work.

Just seeing this thread. Sorry I was too late to wish you luck, but I'm glad things seem to be going well! Can't wait for you to bring back the news that it's official. Congratulations!

Lots of luck there, Jaytee. I'm sure you will be a smashing police woman.  8)

I am late in wishing you luck for the interview but it sounds like you went well !!  When you get the job I will call you CrispyJayTee !!!!!!!  It sounds like an interesting job. My friend is going thru an interview process for one that sounds similar with the WA Police. Its a civilian position but means more police can be out on the beat instead of in the office typing up reports. Her job (if she gets it) - is part reception and part clerical.  So I have fingers crossed for both of you.

Hey jaytee !  That sounds really good, hope everything works out  :)

Just think, you might be able to check up on peetee and I will wanna talk to you about waiving all my unpaid traffic tickets  :P

I wasn't successful  :(  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed but they told me they are keeping my application on file and would like me to re-apply when I have some more up-to-date experience.  I do feel more confident now. I'm thinking of doing a refresher course in legal work which is what I was doing 20 years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that Jaytee. You must have had some stiff competition that's all I can say.

At least you have a plan B.  :)

*Hug*

You are wanting me to pay a little visit ?  I work for the Feds ya know.  We all know how the State Govt hates the feds, jaytee  ;D

Dig up some dirt, maybe ?  ;)

Sorry to hear you didn't get the job jaytee.

Hopefully you will be successful in your next interview
