Currently I am again on the hunt to find a new job.

I have contacted the majority of Baby Retail stores in the local area & have found that there really isn’t a great deal of stores out there. Most of them are chain stores like Babies Galore & Babyco. I have however found 1 local independent store at Kogarah. The lady seemed very nice to speak to on the phone, but unfortunately had no work to offer. She said she runs the store on her own & I noticed it is open Tuesday through Sunday. I feel for her. Knowing what the industry can be like, I think she has no choice but to run it herself. She did however say that if popularity grows & times get busier, then she would look at hiring then. I am thinking of posting a copy of my resume to her to keep on hand anyway.

I am in the midst of lining up a job interview for the end of this week with another store. So fingers crossed it may pay off!

I have a few ideas running in the back of my mind at the moment that I have already discussed with SK. Hopefully things will get off the ground soon & we will have a website for parents & families running within the next several weeks.

So please keep an eye on this space!

I am excited about the mission we have set ourselves as the care for babies, children & their families has always been & will always stay a very strong & important part of my life.

By the way, don’t be afraid to leave a blog message for me! It enlightens my day & I miss the contact with all my friends that I use to have.

I am currently looking for another job, due to the store at Menai closing. During the past month we had closed doors for BBB & opened BM for a short period. We were offering discounted products to customers of which were from 1 supplier only. Sadly even though customers are demanding discounts on an everyday basis, the products were simply not as popular as expected & therefore saw very small amounts of sales going through the store. On top of customers not coming to the location, the store could just not stay open anymore. BBB has relocated into the Moorebank location & we look after all our customers there as much as possible with the ever popular free home deliveries etc. I have been offered a position at the store there with a maximum of 20 hours. Unfortunately it is not enough for us to financially survive & I have had to cut the loyalty ties & begin looking elsewhere for work. I am considering going back to child care as there seems to be very little available in baby stores around Sydney.

I have learnt a wealth of knowledge in the past several months that I have been in the industry & wish dearly to put it to good use elsewhere. I have found working closely with families & as special to me as the care for their children.

All I can do is keep an ear to the ground & do as much as I can to locate another job.

I have been asked to stay with BBB for the next few weeks & promised to do so. It will be sad to leave my last day there, but I will look at it as positively as I can.

It’s not the end of the world for me or anyone else that has had to be let go. But I’m sure we all will miss working with each other & will try to keep in touch as much as possible. I have made new friends since working in BBB. Friends I hope will stay just that for the rest of time.
