Did I hear about the interview?

Nope.

I've got the same problem. I went for an interview on Tuesday of last week, they said they would let me know one way or the other at the beginning of this week. Have I hard from them? No of course not and to my way of thinking the beginning of the week has now gone! I'm think I'm going to give them a call tomorrow as I'd sooner know if the answer is no.

I don't know if it will help anybody but there are some jobs listed available on the Mer-cedes-Benz website if you google the name and "careers" if you've got any skills in sales or car servicing, that sort of thing.

Also some going at the O-pen Uni-versity also.

Vacancies on employers websites don't seem to show up on other searches

Great interview with recruiter yesterday but today I am fed up.
I have now been in several 'perfect' scenarios with all the right skills and contacts yet here still I bloomin' well am. I am sick of making all the running.
Getting the bike out and going for a nice touristy bike ride round London today. Sod it all!

Amazing how things can change in ten months.

Today was supposed to be one of the most exciting days of my life as I was supposed to fly out to Australia to see the Grand Prix in Melbourne and then travel around Australia for four weeks before coming home. What am I doing instead? Filling out forms and printing out applications to prove to the job centre tomorrow that I really have been looking for work for the past seven months.

Boy, is today going to be depressing.

Good luck all, I hope there is good news on the horizon today for somebody.

That's really bad, you must feel do down about that, I know I would be! Australia is the one country I've always wanted to visit ever since I started watching Home and Away when I was about 10

Good Morning All! Here's to a productive day for us all.

Stew that's bad but on a positive note if you were in Australia then you wouldn't be chatting with all of us wonderful people! (every cloud and all that lol)

I get the reed job email alerts, I've applied for the jobs I can actually do but I keep getting the same jobs sent to me. I'm not really getting anywhere coz I have to be really picky about what I can do. I can only work certain days of the week, can only travel to certain places, can only do certain types of jobs....

Well I am wearing a dress today so I would say it's definitely warm enough for shorts :rotfl:

Stew, how awful for you to be missing out on Oz! I would be devestated too. I would try and get the house if I was you today, and try not to dwell.

I have 7 weeks to find work, if I don't I have to cancel my holiday and lose my deposit. It's all very depressing.

I applied for some shop work yesterday. I really struggled writing a cover letter for it because I didn't want to mention my degree. I remember a guy at the job centre telling me a lot of shops won't take on grads because they know as soon as something better comes along they will leave. I couldn't bring myself to totally remove my degree from my cv though!

Meeting with the agency today. Although I'm registered with a few I haven't actually met with any before today. I'm quite nervous, I don't know what to expect, what to wear. Any help with that??

Morning lexi you seem happier today!
