Hello,
Well done, I know how that feels, it took me a long time to get a proper job too.

I think the expression you are searching for BM is " Drinks on the house"  whistle:

Oh go on then... while there aren't many people here....  redface:

And hide that bottle of Talisker...  whistle:

Don't worry, it is somewhere safe.  eyes:










At Last, well done TG, good man! lol:

The second interview was most odd. It was with a doctor, the practice manager warned me I would be asked 4 questions with 30 seconds to answer each.

"sum yourself up in 30 seconds" , 'what kind of employment package are you looking for in 30 seconds' etc.

I had about 2 minutes warning before I was taken in.

I flunked it and stumbled & stuttered which is unlike me.

I suspect the practice manager had made her mind up already.

For the record, the number of applications was high, she took in 30 CV's over 2 days before withdrawing the ad from the jobcentre. I was one of 4 invited back for the second interview.

Although I have been in work as a temp for the last 4 months the spectre of unemployment has been looking over my shoulder the whole time.

It's just starting to sink in and I can feel the weight coming off me as I type.

They force you to go to the pub it seems. Communication purposes like.  cloud9:

Cheers!

I have just spent a jolly half an hour with my shredder.

I have a box file full of job applications, rejections, council tax / rent rebate and jobcentre paperwork.

All now destroyed.

Plus a cheerful few minutes un-subscribing from the likes of Monster, Fish4jobs etc.

Now can admin remove the poll and change the title of this thread to a more generic job hunting title?

Or lock / delete it.

If it aint too much trouble like.
