The job searching is over...before it really even begun! About 6 weeks ago I submitted my first and only application to Arnott's Biscuits at Virginia for a graduate position and just yesterday found out that I got the job! Yes I will be learning to make the dough! I will also be learning about all the machines and the different sections of the factory floor...the job is a 12 month training program in which I will rotate through various sections of the business including finance, HR and quality improvement. I am really excited, I think it will be really interesting and challenging. The aim of the program is that I will become a Team Leader at the end of 12 months looking after 10-15 people on the floor.
I had a factory tour on Tuesday and literally got my hands in the dough - fortunately for you all we threw those pieces of dough out once we'd had a squeeze to test the consistency!!! I then proceeded past the 75meter long ovens and grabbed a hot freshly baked choccy biscuit to taste - not bad at all!!! I am a bit worried because they say everyone puts on about 5kg after 6 months of working there! I HOPE NOT! I have 3 more weeks holiday before I start my first full-time job on the 4th August!
woooowhooooooo, Chels. That's fantastic to finally have that first full time job. It's been a long slog for you Chels, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Uncle Kerry's favourites are scotch finger, orange slice for aunty nell, Choc mint slice for uncle doug,....... etc. Can't wait to see what we all get for Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, surely you are kidding Aunty Nel!!? Nobody's favourites are scotch fingers! And definately not orange slice!! They are always the ones left on the baptist morning tea table after the kingston's and monte carlo's have been snatched up!
