  • You'd think there would be some sort of, I don't know, allowance or something, for those seeking jobs to enable them to pay to get somewhere for a day's trial. A job-seeker's allowance, or something. What a great idea that would be....

    I know this is an old post, but someone else just linked to it and this made me LOL :T
  • Lol, far better one day which CAN lead to a job, than 6 months unpaid full time work experience instigated by the Job Centre with absolutely no possibility of a job at the end of it.
    Wanted a job, now have one. :beer:

    In what context did someone link to it?
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    The other thread started by the OP; someone else came on and said that everyone had already tried to help them and asked about the work trial on this thread.
  • Aah, I see.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    get in early and work late? Not sure you can do that if you dont actually work for them lol

    and don't be argumentative chipping in for the last word..... employers hate smart a88es......... :D:D:D

    A work trial is a great thing. Not only can they check you out, and make sure you actually have a clue/your cv is not all bull - but you also get to check them out and may just decide 'hell, no - this place is awful'.
