Call off the search because.... I HAVE A JOB!!!I have just accepted a role within the international section of Collins the publishers. Obviously if I were wearing a suit I would be celebrating just like this array of cheering business people. 
Wouldn't you just love to work for one of these companies?
Wouldn't you just love to work for one of these companies?
I knew I would like to work for Collins when I was interviewed by two guys in jeans and converse boots (I felt slightly overdressed in my suit and heels) who said that they loved the fact that I had been a teacher and had travelled the world. At last, someone who values what I've done!
I will be working for a team that exports educational books to countries in Africa, Europe and South America to name but a few. There may also be the opportunity to travel to attend teaching conferences and meet with headteachers in these countries. 
I don't start until 12th March which is a shame but they need to sort me out a desk, company mobile and laptop! In the meantime, they have invited me to lunch to meet the rest of the team so the big decision now is...what to wear? Suit or jeans and converse boots?

Plus you get a little bit of holiday before you start.
And you get to try out the delights of Hammersmith's Primark for free lunchtime bargains...
Err...excuse my pregnancy mushy brain. I sure didn't mean to say 'free'. Obviously one would pay for anything one bought at Primark...
hey anna!
congratulations on the job. it sounds rather great actually.
i love the blog by the way.... i had to interview people recently and one of my questions was "what song would you want played at your funeral?" - says a lot about a person i reckon.
for the record, mine is "born to run" by bruce springsteen x
Eileen says - well done, delighted you have got this job, I'm sure you'll enjoy it and be good at it!
