New job because of vaping?

[Matty316]

It's strange I've been looking for another job because I couldn't vape at work so I've just been putting the odd application out here an there, had one or two interviews but nothing came of them. Then on Monday I went for an interview and there was like 20 other people there, I thought to myself "dont think you've got much hope here Matty".
Anyway I went through what I can only discribe as a slightly dusturbing "team building" group interview and found myself called in for a one on one. I went through the normal routine going through my work history, strengths and why I would be good for the job and I could tell the interviewer didn't look too interested.

Then the question came "What would you say is your greatest achievement?". I thought what the heck I'll just say it "My greatest achievement is quitting smoking after 16 years and smoking twenty a day" Instantly I could see the interviewers eyes widen and a slight smile come over their face. I added "I tryed and failed many times before then tryed vaping and have never looked back". "I DID THE SAME THINNG!" she said with a big smile on her face. Then for about 10 min's we just chatted about different mod and atty's we had.

A couple of days later I got a call.... "so... can you start tomorrow?"



Life can be pretty good sometimes.

But, to your original quest...............Can you Vape?

Well in my last job I worked in an aerosol factory and because of saftey regulations nothing that could potentially explode or catch on fire was not allowed on site so I had to do a 12 hour shift without vaping. We were not even allowed to take moble a phone onsite.
With my new job I can't vape whie I work but at least I can on breaks.

Was it really about the vaping or more I had brought up someting that I and the interviewer could relate too. Who knows.....
