So...who else is looking for a new job?

[rennie]

I have an interview week after next in Dudley!

So you might be heading up north soon?

Possibly, it depends on whether I get offered it or not. It's not my first choice job, I've heard there's a job possibly coming up at another project, that I'd prefer, but it's not been advertised yet.

Job interview on Monday!

It's a nursery though, so pay will be shite.

 

[keithy]

thank fuck, finally got a new job. It's not ideal and is minimum wage but more hours and less brain-numbing... and 15 minutes walk from my home

 

[Thora]

Doing what keithy?

 

[keithy]

just bar work at wetherspoons, but it's going to be much better than shelf-stacking at Boots which is what I've been relegated to now

I just need enough hours to be able to pay my rent AND go food shopping, that's enough to keep me happy for now really!

Good luck!

*moan alert*

Two months until I'm unemployed and I'm starting to worry. There aren't many jobs around in my kind of area at the moment, and although I'm looking outside it now I can't see an awful lot that I'm either qualified or inclined to do.

It doesn't help that I've just had a letter from one place I applied to saying that 'on this occasion we shall not be proceeding further with your application.' Oh well, nice of them to let me know, I suppose.

I really don't like the feeling of not knowing where or how I'll be earning a living in a few months' time, especially with the economy doing what it is...

All the jobs I've applied for have come to nothing Got to 2nd interview for one and got feedback that I was 'an excellent candidate' who could 'do the job standing on her head' but the agency had 'decided it was moving in a more digital direction' and I didn't have enough experience. This was after changing the original job spec from 'Digital account manager' to 'Print account manager' which is why I focussed on talking up that side of my experience rather than bigging up any digital stuff I'd done. Oh well, I suppose I should at least be flattered I got through the first round of 10 interviews and into the final 4! And they were then going to have a 3rd stage after that of taking the last 2 to meet the client before deciding!

And to top it all I've got an end of day meeting with the boss where the best I can hope for is a reduction in salary/hours. Joy unconfined.

Another burst of energy this week, got an application to be in on Friday and it's for a job back in the housing sector... fingers crossed.

 

[Roadkill]

I hate to blow my own trumpet, but I'm really rather pleased with the application I've just completed.

<makes final checks>

<attaches to email and presses 'send'>

<resists temptation to check back over it for mistakes >

Now, onto the next one, this one considerably more difficult and at a place where I really want to work ...
