The local computer/fridge/tv/phone/washing machine/cooker/kettle/phone shop phoned me up today and offered me and 8 hour job. Dammit. I don't want to be one of those people who work multiple jobs just to get more than unemployment money. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Given your electronics skills, you could more than likely start your own small-repairs call-out thing. .. although, you don’t drive, through, do you..? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I thought why not about the pcworld job, so went to apply online as per the instructions of the guy who phoned me and guess what? The computer says I failed the assessment. That's fun. The people in the physical real world want to give me a job but the computer says I can't have it

The phone shop are advertising the exact job I applied for recently and failed to get an interview. I'm guessing everyone else failed also. See what happens when you leave a computer to evaluate job candidates! Also, I can't apply for it because I already did. What sort of world is this? -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

 What sort of world is this?  I've said it many times... The whole place is just bonkers now, there's no "rational" thinking anymore... And the worst part is... It's getting worse!

My son came across this situation on numerous occasions - apply for job. Get interview or not. Not get job/hear anything. Job vacancy reppears a week or two later. Now either no-one was hired, or the person they hired didn't show or told them where to shove it after just a short period. Whatever the result - don't re-apply; it'll be shit. |

Also, have to 'cheat' to re-apply, Once you've applied under one username, you can't re-apply, or if you can, it re-uses your previous application, which was obviously wrong, or you would have progressed further the first time.

Well, the re-apply 'cheat' seems to have worked at the computer/household goods/phone shop. Just got a phone call asking if i'd be interested in working on the help desk. Not 100% sure of the job role, mostly booking in repairs and offering a little advice I think, but its 25 hours per week, more when it's busy. So I'm going to go in and have a chat about that.

OK, right-to-work stuff has been send to head office and that's it. Apparently it takes a week or two to sort the paperwork out, not sure why, but that's OK, I need next week off anyway. Then I get told my start date

Oh, I forgot to say. Yeah, I'm in. So far so good. I have a lot to learn but apparently plenty of time to do so. It mostly involves installing/removing software for customers that have purchased some sort of care plan. It's oddly rewarding ☺ -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!
