Anyhow, Christmas is getting ever nearer and finally I am accepting it is nearer! After having a starange Xmas dinner in May to welcome the return of my dear sister!
Have been working hard and have been working with a charity called Herts Pass which helps disabled people to gain direct payments to fund things like P.A's and other things that they may need and they have acquired some money from the National Big Lottery fund to provide equipment and to employ an Employment Facilitator. I am involved in an Operations Group with some students I know and we had a selection day yesterday to choose an applicant for the facilitator job. It was very exciting and I felt positively good as I helped with the grouo task being in a group with three applicants and a student who is in the operations group with me.
That group task was in the morning and then we had a discussion to collect the annswers that each individual group came up with to talk about problems and barriers that disabled people face in employment.
After lunch we then had the interviews and I was part of the interview panel and gave questions to each individual applicant and they had to give a presentation to which they did well, but some went over the allocated five minutes but that didnt matter.
Finally we came to our conclusions and the best man got the job. We all liked him and he was very friendly, good with involving all of us and we all felt that he had a brilliant rapport with all of us. I am glad for him as I liked and I talked to him firstly when he rang up to ask about the job few weeks back. I cant wait to have him working with us for three years and working at Herts Pass. He'll enjoy it!
Also I have good news too! I have been selected to go in the audience of the Ouch Christmas Podcast! Yay! I cannot wait! I hope it will be good and it will be nice to see some of the messageboarders, and maybe even some of you!
Will report back to you at some stage after wards to tell you how it went but maybe I might not have to! You could probably listen in to it afterwards when Damon puts it up on the website!
I want an Ouch podcast mug though! Would be really nice next to my other Ouch goodies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
