The all new TG's gorra job, worra bout you thread

[The Moan Ranger]

I am currently sitting in the pub by the dole office.

It's a bit odd but bloody cheap.

I may also have a job lined up - sounds too good to be true, but I will know more by the end of the month.

[Nick]

A job in the pub next to the dole office?

[Snoopy]

Perfick 

[TG]

Indeed.

In the mean time yours truly has now lost track of how many jobs he has applied for let alone to which companies.

I need to organise paperwork, email records etc. In fact I have to try and organise this like a military campaign. I do not want to be unemployed in January.

I am now halfway through my second week off and I am getting extremely bored.

[Nick]

You should get GOS to help

I can't remember the name of the company but there was an ad on the TV last night about a service where you send them your CV and they go through the all the jobs listings for you and send your it to the matching companies. Odds are you would already have looked into the vacancies anyway but it may still be worth looking at.

Why not do your CBT and buy a moped...?

You'd be able to add "Driving Licence and Own Vehicle" to your CV then...

  I seem to recall mentioning this some days ago. The record keeping will save you so much agro from the job centre jobsworths.

BTW I once had the pleasure of interviewing a Job Centre employed "Executive Officer" who thought he was qualified for a management job with the company I worked for. It gave me enormous pleasure to tell him that he was not fitted for any employment within the company let alone the job he thought he was a natural for.

[TG]

Oooh. A company actually wrote to me to acknowledge my application.

I exist!

 

[Snoopy]

Well done you ~ use the letter you sent them again, it's obviously a good one.

[Nick]

Quite so.I don't have email therefore I do not exist. 

[Snoopy]

I don't think ~ therefore I am not

  Bit pessimistic I feel.

[Nick]

 

Have a pill

[Snoopy]

Thanks ~ I think I will ~ Valium anyone?
