    I got a job! Awesome! :)

    After looking for a job for a good few months, I've eventually found myself a full time permenant course/job; they said my qualifications in biology at both GCSE (A*) and AS Level (B) were what secured me the job, along with my good communication skills and a concise CV, so all in all, a good interview I'd say .

    The pay's amazing at £9.15 an hour and the job will hopefully be pretty fascinating, gotta do a 2 week trial to make sure I can hack it, due to the nature of the job.

    I'm gonna be working in the hopsital in the mortuary; doing all the... erm... mortuary stuff. Gonna be a fascinating job I reckon, and amazing pay, £340 a week and a good career "qualification" at the end of the first 2 years.

    I'd also like to say a big thanks to everyone in my "Help me get a job" thread, cheers guys and girls .

    I'm absolutely chuffed .

    Congrats Matty, that's really good news! So what's the qualification you can pick up then? Some kind of certificate in Pathology? Sounds fascinating

    I'll get an "RSPH Certificate in Anatomical Pathology Technology." Something fancy sounding will do me .
