If I keep on driking at this pace, I won't make "later"!

I must be the only person wearing jeans in the vicinity, too.

Although it seems everyone has a BlackBerry (Wenchy, take note) so I am not entirely alien.

My neighbour the judge just popped in. He is semi-retired and works on immigration and asylum cases.  He has been told that his services are no longer required due to cutbacks in the judicial system. When he asked who would deal with immigration and asylum cases in future he was told 'we don't know'

So they save his daily fee and end up spending a lot more on those he is no longer able to send back  Banghead Banghead

Well I had the screening tests for the DWP yesterday, which I passed. Had the actual interview this morning and it seemed to go OK. Got to wait 3 weeks to hear now.

they had over 1000 applicants of which 500 were weeded out pre-screening. Obviously I have no idea how many failed the screening. 70 posts available across Leicestershire.

They rented out all the conference rooms at a Ramada hotel for over a week. Must have cost a bastard fortune.

A bloke there told me he went to a screening for the same jobs in the Birmingham area. Held at the friggin' NEC on a Sunday!

500 to 70? That is about 7 per job! EO dictates that all who meet selection criteria must be interviewed but there must be loads of chancers in there (not TG). I never interviewed more than 3 (from, last time, 141 applicants for one job)  evil:

They asked me how I would deal with very angry people. I told them I would deck the fvkcers. Possibly the wrong answer.  rubschin:

Every time I have to deal with DWP I get very angry. I call it controlled anger in that I do not shout or swear but I do get very sarcastic and start demanding to speak to someone, anyone, with authority.

Have you come across the guaranteed interview scheme yet?

If you say you are disabled they automatically give you an interview (assuming you meet the criteria).

Well is being out of work for nearly a year, a disability or am I just a liability?

There is an ad on the railings of the school opposite for a term-time playworker - I am tempted, sounds like fun.

Min wage and a CRB check, but if you like 4 year olds in quantity go for it
