So I continued searching and I applied to this recruitment agency days after I got rejected by BT. However, the guy told me that he can't continue processing my application as I don't have my National Insurance number yet. But he said I should call him as soon as I receive it - which I did this past Monday. He conducted my phone interview as well and booked me for an assessment last Wednesday. The company is Scottish Power and the role is Customer Service Advisor.

I attended the assessment and after how many hours of reviewing for some competency job interview questions, the recruiter said that it will just be a group activity and no interview involved. The applicants were all competitive and way, way better than me, and then I lost hope again. I was in Starbucks straight after my assessment , filling out an application form and Husband texted me asking how was the interview. I told him that I don't want to expect anymore from it because my fellow applicants were so good and I knew that the company will not choose me.

Whilst filling out my Starbucks application form, I say a St. Pio prayer asking to grant my petition for being accepted from the fulltime jobs that I applied to (Costa Coffee, Starbucks Coffee, Scottish Power or Betfred Centre) before my birthday. I was on my way home and said the prayer again.

Thursday morning, I received a call from the outsource company of Scottish Power and I got the job. I can't explain how happy I am.

Gonna start on 17th as a customer service inbound representative.

Meanwhile, my husband did everything to make me feel so happy on my birthday yesterday. He surprised me, as he booked a table in a posh Italian restaurant in our place. I thought he's gonna bring me to a Thai, Chinese or Japanese restaurant as he asked me which restaurant I wanna go. I said Asian - any Asian.


I had a happy birthday. It was a double celebration
