A day of Great Change

Helena here had the fortunate pleasure of speaking with a gentleman here this afternoon who is having the day of his life!

His wife was admitted to hospital this morning at 1am for an emergency caesarean (mother and baby are doing great) and he then had a job interview for a major retailer later on this morning. He completed a psych test and met with a company representative to discuss the store manager role for which he had applied, was advised that he was not suitable, but asked to stay on site to speak with another company representative and complete another psych test which he did, but again was advised that he would not be offered that position. Again, he was asked to stick around, complete another psych test and meet with someone else. By now, the man was getting very tired (having had no sleep and the greatest emotional event of his life already that morning) and was becoming a bit frustrated. But to his credit, he did finish the third test and met with the third interviewer. To his astonishment, he was offered the NSW State Manager position! And accepted!

So...this man has a lot to get his head around: a new family and a state in less than 24 hours. Congratulations and our very, very best wishes.
