I got the job!!!!! I'm an Accountant Level-1


On to better news!!


I'm a Level 1 Accountant!!!


All those long hours studying, pouring over books and trying to figure out what all those terminology meant it all paid off.


Ok Tuesday night as I cried my eyes out I ironed my favorite blue shirt and layed it out with my black suit. The next mornign I woke up and told myself its time to focus and move forward and leave last night behind. SO I got dressed, put on my suit and packed my black and grey Coach purse and left for work. Apparently I looked like a movie star because my boss and colleagues commented that I looked like I just stepped off a set. Cool!


I leave work at 11:20 jump on the toll highway and get to head office. What was suppsoed to be a 15 minute interview with the controller and the head of accounting turned into a 2 part interview with the initial one being conducted by 3 accountants interviewing me at the same time. Talk about intimidating :( I walked out of there wondering how I could have possibly done considering I was just interviewed by 3 ppl; all of whom I couldnt read their stone expressions! YIKES! Then onto the big interview. I went in there and told myself to just do it. SO I just did it LOL and I think I blew them away. They had at least 5-6 pages (I kid you not) of questions to ask me but we spent most of the time laughing and talking through them. It was great. So I get back to the branch and go to lunch come back anmd am back and forth with customers. I walk back in to the office and my boss tells me to call the controller. It felt like it took 20 mins to get to my desk that was 2 metres away and dial her #. I was nervous and scared but the news was good. She told me I made it easy to decide who to give the role to and that I got the job!


I am so excited!! She came by today to drop off my contract and I was so happy to see her and get it.


My manager commented that he hopes I am not making more than him when she left. So I told him the only way I would is if I was asked back to my prior position. He asked my base, I told him, he walked off yelling, "Holy s****!". That should keep him quiet!


Now off to enroll in my courses. I want to get my accounting certificate and look into how I can get a degree.
