Forgot how bad job searching was :(

I'm not sure if you can personally get into legal water going direct, but the company probably has agreements that state they can't hire you without paying the recruitment agency. It's probably not worth the trouble.

True. Just curious :)

First job was redundancy, second job was personal reasons (loved the job), and reason for leaving this one would be it's a massive step up.

All big big companies as well.

Can't help it I'm a man in demand lol, will see how it goes though. Need to see the offer first...

Fair game :)

Would be nice to be in demand!
 
Hm...I've recently been told about a job, and the agency have given me the company details and everything...Whats stopping me going directly? :p

Naturally the agency may have already passed your details on....But you know

EDIT: I'm not going to do it, but you do wonder sometimes

Hm...Just had a reply, agent suddenly wants a telephone interview lol, bricking it slightly as the job is way above me...They did say that the job had changed 'a little', so bit skeptical there.
 
Actually...It's a telephone interview with the company all of a sudden...Also a 2nd Line job

waaaaaaaaaaaah

Consider it an opportunity. I'm beginning to think I'm the only one in this thread not getting offers...

Why do you jump jobs so often anyway? :p

...I don't.

I've been in this job 2 years come Summer?

Jobs before that have all gone bust / merged...Bad luck sadly

EDIT: Anyway, I can't live on 12k anymore, I physically can't budget any further :p

Any tips for a friend?
She moved here from Greece, mid 20's done a fair bit of office/admin type work but no UK experience so seems to be getting "dubious looks" as far as agencies go so far.
Re-tweaked the CV a fair bit.

She'd be up for (almost) anything. Shop work, office work, catering, waitressing etc.

Just need to work on the personal profile then or something...?

Your posts suggested otherwise, my bad.

I've lived on less than that, on average, for the past few years. Seriously though, I'd jump at any decent job offer right now. I tire of temporary contracts and shelf filling...

Probably, as stated I post in here often. I made the thread and got advice from a lot of people back in 2009, so I like to contribute.

So have I matey, however life has changed and I can't live well on this. Hell, I'm having to move out of our new house and move in to a small annex next to the ladies parents house.

See my post just above yours. Oh, and congrats on the girlfriend, I don't remember you mentioning that. In-laws can be a pain, but it seems yours are very accommodating for a change.

Hah ta, three years come April

They can, but luckily we both get on well with them so there should be no issues :)

If there is...I'll lock the door to ours! :p

Notice handed in today, I have long chats with both my manager and HR manager and they were both genuinely happy for me but at the same time sad to see me go.

I'll be phoning the new employer in a couple of days and tell them when I'd like to start, I plan on having a week gap to /whatever/ though :D

It's always nice to do that to be fair....if anything just to prepare yourself a bit
 
Well, did the phone interview. Went reasonably well and eventually managed to fire off some questions that hopefully made me seem more into the role.

Supposedly find out early this week
 
mrk said:
That means today/tomorrow!

Fingers crossed eh :D

Hopefully :) Probably be later than that but I don't mind

You'll be sitting waiting for that phone to ring. Good luck. :)

Haha, luckily the agent who contacts me is really good actually, they phone / leave answer phone messages / text / email you at the same time :p Quite good really
 
Well...Phone interview must have gone well, they appear to want a face to face interview with me now....Apparently the final interview as well... eeek
