I've got a new job!

Sue Brown (Elite Donator) posted this on Friday, 24th October 2014, 06:00

I'm not digging up my old thread any more. I've put it to bed now that I have put cancer in my past.

So, we were struggling financially before my diagnosis and I had started looking for work as the income from my husband's business was no longer enough - but that fell through suddenly, and you know what happened then.

Having been given the all clear last month, I decided I now needed to get job-hunting again. I was quite apprehensive, as I'm fast heading for 50 and I've had cancer - would I be employable?

But I have found a lovely job, which I start today. I am now a Hotel Receptionist at the London Beach Hotel in Tenterden. It's a wonderful job, and I am over the moon. About time I got some good luck - feels like things are on the up at last!

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

You may well ask! There is an area nearby known locally as London Beach, where the road to our village, the A262, meets the A28 Canterbury - Hastings Road. So as the Hotel is within a few hundred yards of that area, they named it the London Beach Hotel. But I have absolutely no idea why it is so known in the first place! lol

No, this is my first placement in this industry, but it is exactly what I wanted to do. I am a people person and enjoy face to face interaction.

I did my first shift today, 9am - 2pm, and successfully managed to deal with phone enquiries and bookings, check people out, book people in, and take payments etc. Not bad for my first day.

It's only 5 minutes down the road, which is an added bonus, considering how far out in the sticks I live.

Well done Sue. :D



My outlook on life is positive & carefree, I'm positive that I'm a pessimist & I don't care what what you think.



Never has so little had to be explained by me to so many so often.
