I am now an articled clerk who is being paid a (very nice) sum of money.

I am employed!

I only applied to one law firm, and when they didn't ring at 9 this morning (when offers opened) I was convinced I was unemployed.

So I finally rang them, and they offered it to me over the phone. [Smile]

Woo-hoo!

Go imogen!!!

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Woohoo!

What does "articled clerk" mean?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Silly Dags. It means they're going to mention her in the company newsletter.

Unless it means this . . .

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

Of course, it also means I now have to pay about $15000 a year in tax.

*Gleep*

And Rivka is, indeed right. [Smile]

YAY!

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

Incidentally, I'm not whinging above. The salary will still be more than enough.

It's just extreme to go from claiming the tax-free threshold to being well and truly paying tax.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Ooh, based on that link, you deserve more than a woohoo!

How about a yippy-yippy-yee!

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

I like yippy-yippy-yee!

[Big Grin]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Yeah, but it's Oz money, so it's not real dollars anyway. [Wink]

And I'm glad to hear the company is going to put you in the newsletter.

Yay! That's awesome imogen. [Smile]

I still have the fingernail biting anxiety of applying and waiting to be called ahead. [Wink]

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

Oh, Good Luck in advance, Kylie.

Thanks, everyone. [Smile]

I was woken up at 5 to 7 this morning by the phone - a driver claiming to be from the law firm that hired me.

So I go and open the gates. Hard to be mad at the law firm for waking you when they've sent a welcome card and a bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne.
