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

[Nick]

I see Miss D is in full interview mode 

[tel]

Apparently, I am very good at listening to people.

[Snoopy]

Of course you are good at dealing with people - you managed to organise this bunch of rum em's to get onto Facebook and form a secret group.....

That takes initiative and perseverance and an ability to many a group of diverse IT skills to achieve the same outcomes blah de blah de blah

You forgot that he did it all "Going forward" "Embedded diversity" and "Ensured inclusivity"  










I may have been retired these ten years but the paw is still firmly on the pulse

Dot at the Jobcentre told me that they will start taking applications for jobs at the Jobcentres as from next Monday.

Am I good at dealing with the public?

Oh and Xmas jobs at Boots.

I Have done the jobcentre application process via the DWP, prolly posted about it on this thread, feels like years ago. Got to interview after initial screening then 'tests' for spellong and maffmatics etc. Failed at interview. But at least if you pass the screening you can be fast tracked to interview if you want to try again.

Got the knockback from Boots for Xmas work last week. Did test on shopfloor such as standing at entrance greeting customers and hurling baskets at them to finding the cheapest painkillers in the shop in nowt flat. They said we will let you know in a week. When I got home from the interview there was an email waiting from them telling me to fvck off.

Its tough out there people, especially if your over 45, willing, even eager to work, intelligent, experienced, reliab...

Ah feck it.

NHS job interview on Fursday. 

[Barman]

Good luck for Fursday TG!

[Nick]

Wot he said
 

[Pastis]

Yep!... Keep going

Know how you feel TG - Been a Gov statistic for 9 days now having been made redundant at short notice and with no warning.  Finished work at the end of August. July was a good month for me - fiance ended relationship, was told I was being made redundant and (on that same day) had a car accident!  45 and feeling bottom of the scrapheap 

However, Im considering becoming a driving instructor if I can raise the training fees.

[Miss Demeanour]

Sorry to hear you have such a tough time RL ? that which doesn?t kill us makes us stronger and all that  nonsense eh !!!

Still if you work on the principle that you?ve had your 3 bouts of bad luck at once then you should have had your fill for a good time now and it in all probability it can only get better. 

There are a few here in the same boat ? work wise .  Some more recent than others.  Whilst we are limited in what we can do realistically I am sure you will soon find we are quite a supportive bunch .

And nosey
And pedantic
And peculiar
And sarcastic
And intelligent ( obviously I am not referring to myself  [ or GM ] but others on the board
And funny
And experienced
And not at all bitter and twisted 

[Rarelady]

I'm feeling right at home already! 

[Barman]

Driving instructor...? 

[Rarelady]

Yeh, someone what teaches other people to drive...................
