I got so carried away with my own fabulous day I forgot about Kirsty and her interview.
Kirsty is a Nursery Nurse, trained for 4 years before taking a position where she is now and has been there for almost 18 months, but the nursery isn't to her liking, they get no support and the management are well out of order, :i.e. gave them forms to fill in asking about the management team amongst other things and swore that any criticism would not be seen by the said management team. Well lo and behold a week after all the forms were handed in, a load of the girls were called into the office and asked by the management team to explain there comments and criticisms, Kirsty had the good sense to ask me to fill in her form so that they didn't recognise her writing, while no names were on the forms they recognised the girls handwriting. Kirsty is fed up with the shoddy way the nursery is being run and like the other 47 girls in the last 17 months, she has decided enough is enough so put her CV into a few Nursery's she liked the sound of. One of which she spoke to the manager and asked if there were vacancies about 4 months ago, she was told no but they would hold onto her CV incase anything came up.
Well last week she got a phone call asking her if she was still interested and if so would she be able to come for an interview, which she did today.
She assumed it was for a Nursery Nurse Level 3, so off she went to the interview to find out it's for the position of the assistant manager, Kirsty said no point having the interview as I thought it was for Nursery Nurse position, told them she was a Supervisor in the Nursery she works at now but they demoted her after 3 months as they said she couldn't do the job, but as she said she was promoted but then just left to fend for herself with no help and no assistance, went to see the manager to ask for help with a problem with staff arguments and got told sort it out yourself, so when she told the manager today in the interview that, they decided to test her to see if she had what it took to be a manager, she passed with flying colours.....they said she has all the skills to be a good manager or in this case assistant manager and they would be there to help and support her and give her as much training as needed, she has to go back on Monday after her shift at her current Nursery to have a trial and see how she gets on :fingerscrossed: I know she can do this, she knows she can too, I just hope they see her potential and as I said to her they must think she can if they want her to come for a trial surely ?
It would mean a good rise in her wages and would make so much difference to her and Mark being able to afford to get married and find a place of their own xxxx
