    Unpaid?

    ten letter rule
    You know, I've been trying to work out what you meant by ten letter rule. I thought you meant it was short for a well know swearing phrase but nothing fitted.

    Ie Go F....You

    then I realise you wrote it to get around the 10 characters required :rotfl:

    As I have only ever nursed I have difficulty comprehending how this works (the amount of training needed even for "untrained" jobs would make it useless)
    But AFAIK, all jobs are "trials" at first, as you can be dismissed with no reason in the first few months.
    So I don't see how more than a day's unpaid trial could be reasonable.

    Takeaway, you were over-thinking - the penalty for being a smart person:D
