Application for the job

Anna told me that there were jobs going in a brand new theatre in Oman. She said she had an email address to send a cv to and that that was all the information she had.

The timing was pretty good as I had been recently updating my cv so had an up to date one. Of course, I didn't apply straight away and put it off.

A few days later I heard that Anna's application had been rejected as she applied too late, so I gave up on the job.

A couple of days later, Anna phoned me to say that she had been shortlisted for the job and would be having a telephone interview. I immediately sent off my application.

Within a couple of days I received the following email:
