Subject: WISH ME LUCK

Written By: jaytee on 05/01/06 at 6:46 am

A couple of weeks ago I saw a job in the newspaper for a "Customer Service Administrator" with the Queensland Police Department.  I haven't thought about a job for the past 18 years or so years but thought "what the heck - I'll apply for the job and see what happens".  I had a phone interview last week and passed that and last Friday went for a group interview that lasted almost 5 hours!  They phoned that afternoon and informed me that I had been successful and the next step is an interview at Police Headquarters tomorrow!  I honestly thought I didn't have a snowball's chance in hell but I've got this far.  I'll let you know what happens after tomorrow.

Congrats...are you a copper on the beat yourself?

Lol, I too plan to work in Queensland when I graduate (As an urban planner) , cos I know they're just dying for planners over there. I'll become an honorary 'Banana-bender!'

Only probably...Sport. AFL is restricted to the Brisbane Lions  :P and Rugby League is the enemy. But enough about me, don't wanna still yer thunder...

Thank you all you wonderful people for your words of encouragement.  :)  I had my interview this morning and won't hear definitely until Friday but my gut feeling is that I've got the job!  The policeman who interviewed me winked as he shook my hand as I was leaving and said "We'll be seeing you later"  :o  If I do get the job I'll be a CRISP (Crime Reporting Information System for Police) operator.  I'll be liaising with police officers, typing their reports etc.  Should be interesting work.

Just seeing this thread. Sorry I was too late to wish you luck, but I'm glad things seem to be going well! Can't wait for you to bring back the news that it's official. Congratulations!

I am late in wishing you luck for the interview but it sounds like you went well !!  When you get the job I will call you CrispyJayTee !!!!!!!  It sounds like an interesting job. My friend is going thru an interview process for one that sounds similar with the WA Police. Its a civilian position but means more police can be out on the beat instead of in the office typing up reports. Her job (if she gets it) - is part reception and part clerical.  So I have fingers crossed for both of you.

I wasn't successful  :(  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed but they told me they are keeping my application on file and would like me to re-apply when I have some more up-to-date experience.  I do feel more confident now. I'm thinking of doing a refresher course in legal work which is what I was doing 20 years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that Jaytee. You must have had some stiff competition that's all I can say.

At least you have a plan B.  :)
