    Welcome to the real world, when you get a job (the one you have) you have to do as your told, not go over peoples heads because you will allienate the manager and probably end up with no job at either branch.

    If you know the job inside out isnt it time to move on to a challenge.
    !!!!!! your a graduate, surely you have more ambition than working a few hours in a shop at your age.

    Why do you not want to work full time . How are you paying your way in life.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    ofcourse i want another job, more challenging but i know that for the time being (i.e. the next few months) it would be foolish to quit the job i have in this economic climate. I don't think it's very fair that I am being judged for decisions that I am making about my own life from complete strangers - i am merely asking for advice on how to achieve getting more hours.

    blooming students. Seems to me that you dont wanna do a days graft and pay some decent taxes!
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    Honestly. Loads of my friends have graduated from uni this year and many of them don't realise that to earn money they may have to do a job that THEY DO NOT LIKE.

    It's life.

    its hard for graduates to find a job?

    Im sure there must be some jobs going.

    I was in one supermarket today and they had 4 shelf stacking jobs, and 3 till jobs. Another had vacancies. There are jobs if you look!

    i don't agree.
    i find it very sad that so many people hold this view..work to live don't live to work.
    life's what you make it and it totally depends on what you are looking for in a job...
