I have recently left my job. I was going to a start up company but the position folded as their product isn't ready to go live yet. They still want to take me on however it is just a case of when! I asked my old job if I could retract my notice like a week before I was due to finish (had to work a 4 week notice) and the manager said no =/ he came in trying to turn the department into a sales call centre when we were customer service, sales isn't up my street so guess he saw it as a good opportunity to get rid.
Good thing is though the experience I gained there is good and because the company has the worst reputation in the area for treating it's staff like dirt it proves I can stay in a job I don't like! lol Gave two years of my life to that place.
I attended an interview last week for an Online Operations Executive role but lost out to a guy who had more experience than me, but it was nice to get to the final round of the recruitment. They have since called me back as my interview was considered strong and they want to interview me for a deputy manager role in another department so I am off there again tomorrow for my interview
The only downside is I would have to drive further each day and the hours shift based, could end up finishing at 8pm :/
So just goes to show that the jobs are out there, you've just gotta make sure your CV is strong and grasps employers/recruiters! I recommend Totaljobs.com
