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

[Snoopy]

 

[Darwins Selection]

I have been shortlisted for an interview next wednesday. First one for about a year.

Good luck old lad.

Obviously they saved the best until last. 

[tel]

Thank you, these days, I need all the support available.

Rooting - such an evocative word. 

I am now off to a "job fair" at Fairfield Halls in Croydon.

I think it is merely a flimsy excuse for Mrs Tel to resume her retail therapy.


PS
Do I use the word "flimsy" too often?

Apart from the two occasions in the quoted post you have used the word flimsy once before and that was on August 20, 2009 at 03:47:36 PM. 

I wouldn't say that was too often but only you know what the word conjures up in your mind.

Must just be my imagination then.

[tel]

Well tha job fair was a lot better than the Wimbledon one, but it was mainly care services/homes again - worrying.

Traipsed around Allders, haberdashery etc, finished up in M&S.

I did attempt to find a nice white shirt, but to no avail, perhaps I am too picky.

[tel]

I've just been emailed the details for my interview next week.

Denmark Hill - not sure I've ever been there.

Have to take proof of identity - for starters my passports expired and no Idon't have a driving licence.

Occupational Health form to fill in -
first question - Do you have any health problems that causes difficulty with
?   Sitting
?   Standing
?   Moving around
?   Bending, lifting or carrying
?   Continence
?   Ability to concentrate
?   Ability to use a computer?


Continence?

This is a NHS job so there are loads of questions relating to any immunisation. Fortunately I don't have to answer those. 

[Pirate]

Take the passport, but anything with a recent photo may suffice, plus take a recent utilty bill or council tax bill

[tel]

There are 2 lists - onitem from list 1, 2 items from list or
if no items from list 1 then 5 items from list 2.

I will have my passport, birth cert. and medical card.

Denmark Hill - not sure I've ever been there. 

I know exactly where you're going; it's just around the corner from here 

[tel]

It's about 30 mins on the train, change at Peckham Rye.

Not an area that I know.

[Pastis]

It's reasonably safe during daylight hours    PM me if in doubt.

[TG]

Bit more good news. The 2 weeks at Mrs TG's place has now been extended to a third week so a nice pay packet at the end of the month.

I may treat myself to Wii sports resort and a big pie.

Thursdays interview was a waste of time.

I have been a bit slack with the job applications whilst at werk so will sit down on the PC 2morrow morning and not move until I have applied for at least 5 jobs.

Good luck with the NHS one Tel. I am something of an expert on this as I have now had 4 NHS interviews.

Cheers TG.

Apparently there is a test as well.

I have no idea what kind of test, IT, general knowledge, aptitude?

[TG]

Could be anything. I have had to type a letter. 

Also I once had to sit at a desk and put 20 sheets of paper with names at the top in alphabetical order and take a phone message whilst doing it.

I prolly fkced it up as I didnt get the job.

You do understand what alphabetical order means do you...?

[TG]

Indeed I do.

It was more like telling the person on the fone to feck off and wait while I sorted out the paperwerk like.
