I'm shocked to hear other people are asked to do so little in comparison.
Some of the jobs I was told to look at were admin assistant positions, I was then printed off a job the guy found which was an "apprenticeship" for £3 an hour in another city for which the weekly train tickets would cost £40. Taking into account transport times that works out at something like £1.7 an hour for 42 hours a week, absurd.
I don't know how companies can get away with advertising menial jobs as apprenticeships in order to bypass minimum wage laws.
They aren't really appropriate jobs for something with the equivalent of a HND in comp sci either with industry qualifications.0
