Janx Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 OK - Maybe I'll substitute the diamonds for a little sports car!!! Can you help or not? I can offer my body for the car... thats all though
Rincewind Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 I may need a job soon. Our company is stopping transporting people to and from work It will be difficult to getting to places outside of Leicester without a car at 6am in the morning. There was a meeting with a group of officers and they said they wanted 12 of us to be floaters. That is ones that are cover for sites when the regulars are on hols or sick. My area would be the City centre and places on bus routes or walkable. I don't know many in that catogory that I have been trained on. Had a letter this morning to say they are considering compulsary redundancies. Found out today the Job Centre does not give advice or help on finding a job anymore. They deal mainly with benefits and the dole. May try one or two agencies and just do part time. At my time of life I don't want 48-60 hrs a week. Anyway good luck to all those with interviews. Not an expert myself as I've not had to go to many. I'm looking forward to some free time and if I'm really desperate I could learn to be a tax dodging scrounger. Anyone know of any good ways to beat the system?
cisono Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 Dress for the occasion Show you are interested (if you are; if you are not, why are you bothering)? Prepare yourself for the interview Maintain eye contact Be positive Be yourself
cisono Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 Smile and look them in the eye when you're talking - that always works for me - on job interviews that is! Ehmm what jobs are you talking about? (Just kidding )
kerryh Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 I can offer my body for the car... thats all though Hmmmm well now you've been Paul McKenna'd I'll seriously consider that offer, it needs to be a car and a pair of shoes though!
Janx Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 Hmmmm well now you've been Paul McKenna'd I'll seriously consider that offer, it needs to be a car and a pair of shoes though! as long as the shoes cost less than the car... i know you!
kerryh Posted 16 January 2007 Posted 16 January 2007 as long as the shoes cost less than the car... i know you! Sorry - no can do!
Turtles Head Posted 16 January 2007 Author Posted 16 January 2007 Thanks everyone some great advice, specially Smudge. The company is Montana Marketing. I know very little about them yet, about to have a proper look at the site. Opted for brown shirt, black trousers and shoes. No mafia look for me
Turtles Head Posted 16 January 2007 Author Posted 16 January 2007 Shit. They are part of the Cobra group. What does this mean then?
Turtles Head Posted 16 January 2007 Author Posted 16 January 2007 Screw that. Aint goin 2 the interview now . Cold calling, pay is only on commission, sounds a bad company overall. Saves me wasting my time
Janx Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Shit. They are part of the Cobra group. What does this mean then? yeah .. swat I thought and described....hard yakka, but like I say those that do it and stick it can get very lucrative jobs after.
MC Prussian Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Who's the motherfudgin' Daddy? Oh yea! CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING THE JOB THEN, DAVEY-BOY!!! (What's the job about, anyway?)
DB11 Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Ive got a job interview in Leicester tomorrow as a Trainee within a marketing company. You have to have no experience which is good for me and they train you from scratch. But was wondering if anyone on here knows what kind of things i might be asked? I dont even know what kind of thing i might be doing if i were to get the job. All will be revealed.... Also(this is aimed to the fashion savvy amongst y'all) rather than the crabby traditional look of black trousers/white shirt, im thinkin of goin black trousers, black shirt. Thoughts? With today being tomorrow, how did it go?
Steven Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Screw that. Aint goin 2 the interview now . Cold calling, pay is only on commission, sounds a bad company overall. Saves me wasting my time He ducked out.
Daggers Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING THE JOB THEN, DAVEY-BOY!!! (What's the job about, anyway?) Ta. This week I are been mostly educating little bastards
Smudge Posted 17 January 2007 Posted 17 January 2007 Ta. This week I are been mostly educating little bastards Are that a idiom?
cisono Posted 18 January 2007 Posted 18 January 2007 Who's the motherfudgin' Daddy? Oh yea! What do you think worked well (ie got you the job)?
Janx Posted 18 January 2007 Posted 18 January 2007 What do you think worked well (ie got you the job)? erm the massive lack of teachers and the fact he is qualified....end of!
Turtles Head Posted 18 January 2007 Author Posted 18 January 2007 "Ducked out" is a bit wrong. I didnt go as i realised that the company were lying from the outset. Not the greatest first impression to make on a potential employee. Check the wikipedia article on them. So much of that rings true, without even having met anyone who works there

So much of that rings true, without even having met anyone who works there I did not mean "duck out" in any pejorative sense.
Turtles Head Posted 18 January 2007 Author Posted 18 January 2007 Fair play. Still a bit annoyed about the whole thing to be honest, sorry mate.
