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

[Uncle Mort]

As an an aside, all the job interviews I have had and am about to have I have gotten myself. I apply and am registered through a lot of employment agencies but not one of them have gotten me an interview. waste of space the lot of 'em.

A telling remark.

Chin up TG.

Keep it up TG ~ you will get there. 

[Miss Demeanour]

Good luck ...we can provide excellent references for you if any are required 

[TG]

Interviews completed. NHS one sounds dull and is shite pay but I would take it if offered. I had to do a filing test FFS, put about 25 files in alphabetical order. 

Today's at a musical instrument company sounds really good and I would bite their hands off if they offered it to me.

I'm getting better at private sector interviews now, I manage to look and sound genuinely interested when they tell me about their companies instead of shuffling about in my chair and trying to look at my own eyeballs.

Ah well, forget em and move on.

When will they be in touch, like



(What sort of musical instruments? Did you have to play anything?)

[TG]

This time next week, musical skills not required.

"They" (the experts) do suggest that you use the internet and the company's brochures (usually found in reception) to learn as much about their company as possible and turn the tables when they start on about themselves and tell them what you know. I wouldn't guarantee it would work but "they" claim it impresses the hell out of interviewers as it "demonstrates your commitment to getting the job and your interest in them as a company".

Sounds like bollox to me but I pass it on for what it is worth. No doubt some Job Centre numpty has given you the information already.

It does help. You don't have to regurgitate massive loads but the odd fact here and there does seem to help gain brownie points.

[Snoopy]

Yes ~ The "I was impressed with your growth forecasts for the next X years and can see a future here" type of comment never hurts.
