in Employment, jobseeking & training
For my interview tomorrow I have been asked to take my NI card and Birth Cert. What do you want to see them for before you have been offered a job?

    To check that you are entitled to work in this country. No point in interviewing you if you're not!

    It's to prove you have the right to work in the UK!

    You may think it's obvious that you have the right to do so but even when you've got an employment history as long as your arm each new employer now needs to be able to show that they have done their best to prevent unlawful working by getting the evidence.

    I am as British as the next person. It is 4 weeks since the closing date for the job so it is about time it got somewhere.

    seriously you need to show enthusiasm and a willingness to pull your weight as a minimum in an interview.

    good luck with it

    I am not too keen on them copying my personal documents without a job offer. It just sounds to me an open door to identity crime.

    Your potential employer will be conducting their business under the requirements of the DPA.

    Will you please stop trying to get people to join in long threads of advice to you when you know perfectly well that you have to conform to some degree if you want to get a job.

    As far as these threads are concerned, many of us have been there, done that, wish you well . . . but really !!!!!!
