I am pleased to announce my job interview for TNT postal services went well this morning, and I am very pleased. It’s always hard to read the interviewer’s body language, especially when they keep to a poker-face and let the meeting proceed ambiguously, but I believe I may have one…

Unemployment may soon become a past venture for me (hooray). I have what seems a more suited opportunity later next week, a job interview with TNT Postal Services. It’s a job that I not only feel will pull me out from the nether regions of society, but is also something…

  This week I’d like to share a little frustration with you (don’t worry, I’m calm…). I think we’ve all experienced customer service or assistance and thought “I could do this much better than you”. It’s not only that I’ve applied for a handful of shops and supermarkets that I…
