    Check reed.co.uk for jobs in essex. I think there are a few things you could go for. Telephone Interviewer is easy apply for that!

    Why are you going on about Essex? Telephone Interviewer? Yeah I have the experience for that, NOT!

    Why dont you atleast try and read the job spec? You dont need special or exclusive experience for that job and its just above NMW. I know youve wrote before how you'd like to work at NMW.

    I have never said I am looking for work in Essex, I said that was where that particular job was where I was interviewed. I am looking in all of London up to 30 miles from home.

    I am looking for a Senior role in Purchase Ledger or a Supervisors role as I have managed staff before and payment runs up to £2million.

    Good luck.

    Personally, i would say apply for something else and still continue to look for your dream job in this climate. Atleast you have money coming in.

    Unless you are well off in which case take your time :D

    I have applied to loads of shop jobs but have no current experience and was turned down at application stage for Boots and their application form never even asked for work history just why you wanted to work there and a questionaire to fill in.

    Im guessing the agency didnt know you were rejected by the company. If they find out then usually they dont let you apply.

    The company actually did say "umm... we did reject her for the perm role... shes ok with working for us anyway right?" to the agency. Apparently they were quite relieved when I said yes!

    OMG how daft is that of the company!
    Maybe they were trying to get out of giving away perm contracts cheeky barstewards.

    this http://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/telephone-interviewer/21094785 ?

    I'd have to leave here at 6.40am to get to work in colchester at 9am costing £15.80 each way.

    But I see this job starts at 8am so would have to leave here at 5.40am! Having to get up at 4am! LOL
