I heard about the Department of Health job I interviewed for. They eliminated a number of candidates early on but that group didn't include me. Then later I heard that they had gone with someone else.
The good news is that this morning I had another interview for a different job (actually several jobs) in the same Department working on mental health.I turned up six minutes late and was a bit concerned, until I found out that the interviewer had double booked and wound up being 40 minutes late. It was just the two of us in the interview rather than four interviewers like there was last time. It went quite well, and my agency rang later in the day to ask if it was ok for them to pass on the contact details of my references if asked. I reckon there is a very strong chance here, and this job would be for 9-12 months so it would take me all the way past going to the Bingham Cup with the Convicts next year, and into doing Pushups Across America. I apprised them of my situation including the rural fire service and they seemed fine.
Speaking of the fire service, I have still gotten no indication that I have been approved. It has been over two months since I applied and all they had to do was do a criminal background check. I don't think it should be taking this long. I've called plenty of times but nothing seems to move things along. We are into fire season, they are being called out to things, and I have still not gotten any training or even simple approval.
I have a meeting on Monday with a business advisor to try and work out if it is worthwhile for me to start up a business (basically as a sole trader) as a way of organising freelance work in a few areas.
A trainer at my gym told me of a good place to get a qualification in personal training and I will probably be pursuing that in the near future too.
TW: Practice clean squat press 40kg and front squats. Front squats make the back of my head hurt for some reason, and regular squats are awkward on my neck. I must get better with these. AMRAP 15 minutes - 10 cal row, 10 kb swings. 11 rounds + row. Tire - 5 rounds of 4 corners. 12:06.
YW: "Elizabeth" - 21-15-9 60kg cleans, ring dips - 7:25. Officially it is meant to include squat cleans, but I wasn't comfortable with those which is why I practiced them today. Then 2 minutes max pullups (52) 20kg db shoulder press (47).
On Wednesday I have an appointment with my psychologist again. Will see how this goes.
So there has been progress on a few things.
