I just get nervous as soon as I click 'apply' I will be obligated and then bad things will happen! Or something...
Going to apply now
One I'm pondering over is a night job. Working for DHL, basically planning and printing routes for the drivers the next day. Not sure whether I want to work nights though (although it is well paid)
It depends what your social life is like at home, if you're stuck like me with relatively few mates around then shifts are less of a problem, if the only time you are likely to see anyone is evenings then it's less good.
You're not obligated for anything until you agree to the job, applying doesn't oblige you to do anything.
Might be a bit burnt out by the time I go uni lol. But popping applications in should be ok. Now I've got into the swing of things it's quite uplifting.
My biggest fear is that reed turns out to be rubbish and nobody ever contacts me. I was told they're good though *shrug*
Gone onto www.iwantextra.co.uk as they were saying they wanted applicants, and then they said I'd have to meet sales targets. Not sure I can do it, I'm always telling people to go to moneysavingexpert and then instead selling them loans even if I knew they'd be better off elsewhere.. I'd feel a bit like a crook, doing it for my own ends.
Hopefully the JCB painting job will go through ok, nice simple honest work
practically every non-dead end job says you need experience doing accounts / admin / secretarial work. How does the average joe break into such a market?
I'm happy with a dead end minimum wage job for the next 5 months though tbh
All just suggestions; I don't have experience in any of these areas.
Enjoy your dead end job. Sometimes they're the best ones cos you don't bring your work home with you.
Since I was 14 my main pasttime has been the internet.
:yes:
If it's just for 5 months then I wouldn't try and get a job which involves training. (unless it's only something like cleaning but nothing that big)
Loads of the jobs I feel confident doing (general office clerk duties etc.) say they want someone with experience only. None of the teming agencies have come back with anything useful yet either. Apply for a couple each day through reed / thisisleicestershire etc. but normally I just get another agency ringing me. At this rate I'm going to be registered at all of them. I've got Leicester and Loughborough (and the surrounding area) covered now!
If I receive a contract to sign and hand in, does that mean I've got the position? Well confused now. I haven't had an interview yet, just phonecalls etc. and checking I'm suitable for the position. Then they emailed me about 5 documents, like medical disclosure forms and a contract of employment. (Adecco emailed me this on behalf of RBS)
But im getting calls and mail every day now lol, it's almost as busy as having a full time job, just handling all the different jobs I've applied for and the CVs I've sent out. Council job looks promising too. (Thanks to someone on the chat channel who suggested checking it out!)
