Morning everyone and to the newbies, Found a actual job to apply for. I was in shock that they have actually updated the system, Anyways I have applied so I'll hope n see, You really do start to give up hope tho after a while of applying and hearing nothing back

yes totally agree, even though i was in employment i was applying for jobs and responses were not forthcoming which got me down as i wanted to leave the job but there seemed to be no way out

Oh my god, what a disaster that was!

I got on the wrong bus, which went the wrong way so I then had to walk for ages, and therefore arrived 15 minutes late and absolutely soaked. I actually think he was okay with me being late, the whole interview he wouldn't look at me though, kept staring at a spot on the wall, so odd. I have no idea how it went but I certainly won't be surprised if it's a no!

Got a phone call from an agency while in there though so will ring them now to find out what rubbish job they want me to do

I just seen your other thread. It's ridiculous they do this and go withdrawing offers for the most ridiculous reasons. I'm so angry for you

Please don't rely on agencies and jobs boards as your main source. Go directly to the employers' websites as well.

Someone posted recently on another thread about looking for work as a mortgage adviser and I found a job within seconds on a building society's website. Wrong location for him, unfortunately, but he said it was perfect otherwise.

Would it help if everyone stated whereabouts in the country they're located and what type of job they're looking for? Those of us who then find jobs on employers' websites could provide the links. Everyone using this thread, not just those who post here but to include those viewing, could benefit.
For example: Travel to work area .... Looking for work as a ......

...is there such a thing as a UK version of GED like in the US?
I have been in work more or less since doing A level's at school so have over 15 years of transferable skills, but have nothing certified to prove yes I am good at what I do! Might I said very good! Other than in context of my jobs.

Any ideas?

That's terrible interviewing skills if he can't look you in the eye, I know what you mean tho about wrong buses.. I always get on wrong one, These modern day bus stations are so bloody complicated :rotfl:
