Support Each Other In Looking For Work?

I need some CV help. I'm having some difficulties in putting down the correct word or phrase but I was at uni for a couple of years but left before I could complete it. I sought some help from a local training provider (Working Links) who said that I should not mention that I went to uni at all and to say I went on holiday for those years. Obviously this is a lie. I had left it blank without saying what class I got (or didn't rather) but now have put down 'incomplete'. It probably shows up as I'm a quitter (I have my reasons for leaving). I've never left a core education course before but I'm not sure what to do now...thanks in advance.

I'd definitely send an email!

I had an interview this week for a position that I applied for nearly two months ago - just shows you never can tell what stage an employer is at in the recruitment process!

Best wishes to everyone.

Glad I didn't in the end as I've just received the rejection letter in the post! I'm a little disappointed, the position wasn't exactly what I was looking for but would have been great for my CV and I'd have loved to have got into the company

Suppose at least the wait is over....

If you went to Uni for two years and completed and pass the assessments you can get a HNC qualifcation for the first year and a HND qualifaction for the second year year so you will have qualifactions to show the employer from your time at uni. You can say that you completed a HND for two years and say nothing about the degree.

Congratulations

Nothing for me to apply for so far today Most of the things I applied for last week are closing this week so can only wait.

So I had an interview on Wednesday, received a letter this morning saying I didn't get the job.

The interview lasted 3 hours!! First I had to complete an application form and repeat most of the information that was already on my CV. Then I had the actual interview. THEN I had an "informal" chat with one of the admins about the role and to ask any questions. THEN I had to do a literacy and numeracy test.

Kinda glad I didn't get the job, 'cause if I had been successful, I would have had to have attended a 2nd interview! Plus, the job seemed very stressful and very long hours. Great pay though... *sigh*

My husband who has been waiting since last week to find out about a 3rd interview for a job, has finally been told they are trying to arrange it for the 3rd week of August.....

Another company who he was interviewed by 3 months ago (for a job he doesn't want in a difficult location) are trying to sort out a second interview

Why is it all soooooooooooo slowwwwwww..........
