Eldest son called into his fav music shop (JB HiFi) this afternoon to drop off a resume, hoping for some Christmas work. Their employees are all pretty funky and he looked the part in torn jeans, black heavey metal T-shirt, and pony tail.

They took him in for an interview straight away and gave him a job. It’s only casual for 12 weeks but it’s a foot in the door of an industry he’s always wanted to work in.

Now he has to break the news to Maccas and hope they’ll take him back if the job doesn’t continue past the 12 weeks.

That’s great news BL. Hope it works out for him. The advantage of chain like JB is that if he can be flexible, there may be positions in other stores once he’s proved himself to them.

great news for him BL. tell him i said congrats.

Fingers crossed.

The thing that might wreck it for him is that he has something called hypermobility, which basically means his tendons are loose and don’t support his joints as much as normal people. He gets really sore legs and back if he stands too long.
He’s so chuffed that he thinks having a job he likes will make the pain worthwhile.

He wont actually start for a little while. They said they’d phone in about a week to tell him when he starts and so he can give notice to Maccas.

Oh great news BL’s son. I hope it leads to bigger and better things.
If you love working with music, it will show :D

We’re only 10 or 15 minutes walk from the Kedron store, where he’s starting, and Chermside and Strathpine are all easy to get to on public transport, so it’s all good.

Youngest son is green with envy. He did work experience with JB and he put in an application for Christmas work a couple weeks ago but hasn’t heard yet.
With a bit of luck I might get rid of them both over the Christmas hols. LOL

Oh well done young BL:)
