Forgot how bad job searching was :(

Rite, thats it, what are the best jobs to search for employer jobs only? I hate agencies =/

One agency wants to see me, but they're an hour and a half away =/ The job is 20 minutes down the road!!!

An agency don't need to see you, it's BS.

They can get your info on e-mail and spek to you over the phone. Tell them to search for you and that a silly meeting isn't required or practical.

I'm the one who applied for the job! :p

They've asked for the home address and number etc, its all on the CV!!!

Should I just reply and say the distance is too far to travel and if they will consider a phone interview?
 
Was supposed to have an interview this morning...It was cancelled though...BAH!!!

trying to find out when it can be re-scheduled for :(

Hmmm, just had a charming recruitment agent tell me I'm far behind where I should be at 7 years out of a red brick uni and should be on £55-60k. Cheers mate. :(

really wouldn't worry, ignore and carry on.

As said, half of them talk a load of tosh anyway
 
Had an interview...Not sure how it went really, always find it hard to get myself across in the right way.

Just sound thick normally :p
 
Two interview recently...nothing came of either of them :(

Not what I reallllllllllly want to be doing anyway, just more money.

No idea where I want to be if I'm honest!

Do as the form suggests, someone in HR might think you're being a smart bumface!


Unlucky Delvis, you've been looking for ages now!

Well....Bearing in mind I created this thread when I was made redundant back in 2008 :p I've had several jobs since then.

Just been trying to get out of this job as I can't live on the current wage very easily.

We've been trying to recruit at work for 2 positions in our IT Helpdesk. It's been a nightmare, they've had about 40 phone interviews and not one of the candidates seems to have any interest in the job, learn anything about our company or have any technical knowledge. I blame the recruitment companies. They just don't look at people's cv properly.

I am still receiving loads of calls from agents offering me roles that I have no skills in or are at the other end of the country. Worst people in the world....after estate agents anyway

Weird..Thought of advertising in papers?

I'd send my CV, but you're in Surrey :p

We're a large national retailer so they have their own ways of recruiting (selective agents and website advertising).

It's just really difficult for our team at the moment. Only 5 team members, should be 8 but when people are off sick, day in lieu from working Saturdays and holiday times, we're under so much pressure.

Which is working well obviously :p

Know the feeling though, me and one other person have supported nearly a 1000 users once, that was ridiculous when there was no one to take first line calls and stuff

Woot! Just saw this thread (yeah, don't come into GD so much) and just thought I'd post that after nigh on 4 months of searching I have be offered (and accepted) a new job! Very awesome.

Quit my job a year and a half ago to go travelling, and have been looking for a job since I got back. Was really getting into the despair stage and nearly began to regret ever resigning.

Start on Monday! Now I just have to start looking for a new place to live! Commuting to work for the first time in 1 year and 7 months is going to be tough!

Nice work chap :) Congratulations!

May I ask what it is you will be doing now then?

Nothing a spot of reading up on new tech wouldnt sort if you are right minded.

I know a few of the guys at Asus UK and a keen will to learn goes a long way.

From what I understand clocking new chips etc is WAY easier than the old stuff anyway.
Click to expand...

True.

that's my issue, I'd be willing to learn, always am, sadly my lack of confidence during an interview gets me every time
 
Musty Pie said:
Again mate you never know until you give things a try. a lot of the people at Asus UK are very friendly. I for one actually know the chap who will be interviewing you (most likley) and he is a nice, easy to get along with guy.

Sending in a C.V wouldnt hurt ;)

Will tinker it shortly hopefully then :)

Thanks
 
Anyone in the design industry in any shape or form? Set design? Concept design?

Wanting to look in to how the best way of getting a career is in that field...My wages are at an all time low, I'm 26, and quite frankly, now is the time to either change career or be stuck in IT Support for the rest of my life.

I am still at loss to understand what the hell has happened to job market!!

England happened. Scaremongering happened to spending your money. It's just been one big snow ball effect since 2008.

Anyway, there are jobs, it's just due to the amount of applicants it's nigh on impossible to get what you want unless you luckily stumble upon the job at the right time :)

Got a job at last :D:D:D:D:D

Went for an interview and didn't get it :( about a week later te company rang me and said they wanted to make a new role in the business just for me :D 2 weeks later they have rang me with a job offer and I start in 2 weeks! :D

Ideal job and exactly what I was looking for, soooooooo chuffed :D
Click to expand...

Congratulations mate :)

Chuffed for ya!
 
It is degrading, but at the end of the day, it's free money :p

I think now, you go in for the initial sign up which is a load of toffee quite frankly. Then go in once every week or two I think? To prove you've been looking for jobs. Rinse and repeat.

Luckily I only had to go in the once
