Right Chuffed, I Am

John Mills: Team Leader
Picked up an email (whilst on holiday in lovely Tuscany, Italy) informing me that I've got the job! 'Right chuffed' as they say. Bit apprehensive too at the amount of work to be done in getting this show on the road but know I can do nothing until I get back home in early September. First thoughts are:
1) Need to formally accept the job
2) Inform my Club President (and others in the Club)
3) Quick reflection on reasons for success go something like this:
  • Did plenty of research
  • Prepared a visual presentation which was intersting and appropriately humorous
  • Had been involved with several appropriate Club Projects - ComVoc Committee; Youth Committee; Re-vamp of Club website; assisted District Governor presentation; asked questions of other Rotarians; was open to new learning.
Deserves a glass of Chianti, I think! :-)

After The Ball Is Over

Post-interview notes and reflections ... an enjoyable and fairly relaxed experience. No really difficult questions - I was honest in my answers and true to myself, when I didn't know an answer I just said so - and indicated I'd be prepared to find out and knew where to start looking. So it's 'wait and see' - and think about packing for photography holiday in Tuscany. Garth will email me the result.
