    They train you do the jobs you know. They don’t expect you to know straight away.

    Apply for jobs near your university so you have one when you start. Also there likely be jobs coming up soon with many uni courses finishing and students going back home

    You need to stop making excuses.

    You can’t afford to make judgements like it’s too posh.you need to be pro active in life. You expect things to fall in front of you

    Because I was embarrassed about telling people I got a job interview in a place like that. And I thought you could do that as its in the contract isn't t?

    I was at an Aldi store years ago for less than a year, they were perfectly ok with people staying for less than a year.
