Opinions on working for JD Williams?

Options
Hi. I was wondering if there were any people out there who currently work or have worked for JD Williams and if they could give their opinions on them as an employer and a place to work.

As an indication, and not that I'm sexist, but I prefer to work in office where there are more males than females purely due to !!!!!iness (i'm getting old (27) and it's something I tire of). I just find men much easier to work with and more laid back.

p.s. if you can remember, were there many indian girls? For some reason in Manchester they are very calculated and tend to write things down so they can claim welfare lol. That mind sound racist but it HAS happened plenty times.

    If it's a call centre job for a fashion catalogue, it's likely to be mainly female, in my experience.

    In response to your final question, what does that have to do with it (and you do sound racist)

    Whats that got to do with the price of cheese? Oh, and just for future reference, saying "I'm not being racist but...." always inevitably means that the next thing to come it is always racist.

    It's not that I'm sexist but I don't want to work with girls

    It's not that I'm racist but I don't want to work with Indian Girls.

    Why don't you ask that if you ever get to interview stage? I'd be interested in their reply.

    Why don't you put it down on your CV, that will ensure no time is wasted...:confused:

    JD Williams also have a department that 'make' their catalogues btw so if you have the relevant skill sets you could apply.

    Designer? Print production?
