  • you wouldn't do it for £50 :confused:

    that would just be more of the same though, not office experience which is apparently all that's letting him down

    (if that's true i'll paint my bum yellow and be the new sun)

    there are no council offices?

    no solicitors offices?

    no hotels?

    no accountancy firms?

    no schools?

    no companies at all?

  • I don't know what my mates will do as they are still at uni but a business or computing grad is going to get further than a philosophy one aren't they?

    not if their attitude is anything like yours

    i've fired several graduates for being crap workers with bad attitudes

    then don't bloody whinge.

    you don't help yourself - why should others?

    From memory I think its handling cash that worries him, how to work a till, how to change a £20 note, how to deal with the petty cash, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on......

    so some volunteer work in an office and a second job in tesco might do him the world of good?? interesting

    He thinks we all have a selective memory like him, forgets what !!!!!! he has put and then tries to pretend he is a bit naive :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: All we need now is a newbie to wonder why the thread has a certain "tone" towards him and he finds a few more kind hearted, well meaning, patient, caring etc etc.................. bunch of people who will try to help him out and fail and then be at at stage "Who gives a toss" like the rest of us :D
