    Found this today, it states that they have found over 83,000 genuine job vacancies. Have they checked every single one to see if they're duplicated on several sites? I often see the same jobs on several websites which means that when I see there's 40 jobs in one sector over three or four websites it's likely that there are really only about 15-20.

    Probably not! I have that issue, particularly with sites like Monster and totaljobs, they tend to duplicate jobs a lot.

    So do tell, is it hot enough for shorts?

    I have one neighbour who's in her seventies and the sight of my legs would be too much of a shock for her. The other one is way too pretty to show my white legs to :rotfl:.

    Anybody find much out there today? It does seem to be pretty sparse on the job sites today.

    On the plus side I did find Wispa ice cream lollies at Tesco earlier :j

    Been out and about, it's so warm here today! Definitely shorts weather Stew ;)

    Came back to an email from the company I interviewed for. Thanks but no thanks, got to admit I am a bit surprised with this one, I really thought it went so well. Oh well :(

    Get them out anyway :)

    Just a weekend sales assistant job for me, nothing else around.

    Ooooo you lucky thing! I'd give anything to be able to eat ice cream :(

    Not to worry, onwards and upwards, right? Maybe now I can at least get it out my head and get on with the job search properly again!

    Well done to those with interviews/voluntary work :)

    Sorry to hear that Drea, try not to let you get it down.

    My legs only come out at the gym people, even then people have to wear sunglasses because of the glare!

    Thanx! Its for a part time clerical post with the local council. Hours would be perfect for me with my wee boy being at primary school. Fingers crossed. I will be doing plenty of swotting between now and next week on interview technique etc.
