Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 2

Me too, and I've been out most of the day. I like the idea in theory, but in practice doing nothing doesn't really do it for me.
I am also sulking because Bill Sykes in Dickensian appears to have mislaid Bullseye.

Good Evening all and welcome pollyanna! Both you and your son are welcome to post as much or as little as you want, we are always hear to listen and try to help where we can. Make yourself at home in the fort, I hear there are chocolate reindeer in there somewhere!

Go for it, tea! Backing out isn't allowed, it's exciting! Do let someone know where you will be though just to be extra safe.

I look less like a gorilla
Last bits on nvq to be done today then I can say I have that.
Presuming I get any interviews anyone got any idea what I say as resin for leaving?

elsien

Have you been able to negotiate a reference with them? I think in part it may depend what they say, if anything.

Quiet days at home soon become very boring and something to be endured. My days are long and empty and not much fun at all

Reference will be given is what was stated.
I am gonna take legal advice Tuesday.

Just need a nice way of saying they have no integrity lol

WAS thank you for the warm welcome . Actually it is a daughter !
I hope you have had a lovely few days I too love Christmas . I have read since the first ever post of yours . In nearly 20 years of dealing with both mental and physical health services for my daughter I have never encountered such caring and insightful advice as yours . I truly believe you are the way things should be I wish nhs services could be like you - but maybe you have to walk that mile in the shoes. Thank You it's a shame you can't bottle it ! Px

Don't badmouth them in any way. "I'm looking for a new challenge and X and Y aspects of this job really interest me, and are a great match for my skills and experience".

I agree about being careful what you say at this stage, even though previous company are @rses. If they're saying you didn't complete probation in the reference, it was due to sickness, are you able to counter this with previous attendance records from the earlier job . If pushed you could possibly say something about your values and theirs not being a good match, hence newer pastures etc.etc.

People can read between the lines. I know when I was interviewing, I was more impressed by the professionalism of people who were more circumspect about previous employers where there had clearly been difficulties than those who really laid it on the line.

They put attendance and resilience in the letter Elsien (wanna the reasons I am hacked off. I am one of the most resilient people I know I would be dead if I wasn't.
