Wish me luck

In two hours time I go for an interview for a victorian loom operator's position in a working weaving shed that uses 19th century looms, the only six of their type working in the world. I will even have to wear victorian costume to work, as the places doubles as a living museum sort of thing.

I am quite frankly s***ing myself, although provided there is noone else with a bachelor of science with honours in textiles, several years industry experience and a passion for victorian machinery I should be in with a chance.

My only problem is how to get to the interview. The public transport around here only goes forward in time.

May Smuggler's Luck be with you.

Cheers, and apologies for my reflexive language once again

Oooh nice! Is that at Howick or Motat at all?

Good luck!

[thehiflyer]

[Anaria]

All the best!

No Stansborough at Petone. I have to say it went rather well, I was there two hours, and had to make my excuses and leave eventually, they wanted me to stay for lunch, and presumably start work there and then. When I left the boss / dad (family firm with mam, dad, daughter and two employees) said I would be definately seeing them again soon.

oh and you might have seen the stuff this company knocks out already; they made the costumes for lord of the rings, the hobbit, avatar and the water horse among others

[mdb]

Ohhh, ooh nice Yes, have I heard of them

I think a visit may have to be planned then

I'll be the one that looks like this;



(being a confident sort of chap I knocked the costume up first. One of the questions I was asked was "would you have a problem wearing victorian costume on open days?" )
