Just received a call from a company I sent a CV to last month, at the time they said they had no vacancies, I just received a call from someone looking me to come in for an interview at 10.15 this morning, didn't give any info away, Don't know what to make of it.

    OP ask them to re-arrange for tomorrow as it is very short notice and you need some time to read up about the company ect
    It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun

    Well think that went OK, Turns out some guy quit on Friday unexpected and they need someone ASAP, The jobs £8 ph for 39 hrs a week so certainly better than min wage, It was for a dispatch clerk type job, only thing that many have snookered me was the fact I don't have a degree when he asked, and well I didn't do a great job of selling myself either but who know. Said the famous words, I will let you know by the end of the week if successful.
