Lol underworked. Shows you know your stuff. Depends entirely on the job/company/clientelle.
Forgot how bad job searching was :(
- Thread starter Delvis
- Start date
Had an interview today, very interesting. It will open up some new doors for me I believe and potentially allow me to figure out where I want to specialise 
That's a shame, although good that the interviewer and yourself noticed this and came to a decent conclusion without wasting peoples time at least
This is why asking for a job description and/or draft contract of some form can help.
I contemplated switching entirely recently (to gas/plumping/elec) from IT recently to be honest.
Alarm bells!

How? Was you just late to work presumably?
To be fair, the above scheme may actually get people applying for jobs even if they don't 'want' that job, too many don't take jobs based on the fact it's not what they want to do. Sadly at the moment you need to take what you can.
Naturally I presume they will take in to consideration people not being able to keep jobs and not deduct their benefits seeing as they are actively getting themselves employed.

Go and see a professional about your arthritis, along with a decent sports physio.
Concerning driving, how old are you? And why don't you drive at the moment?
Shame about the two instances you posted above as well, the first one is just daft and pretty much shows you don't want to work for a company with the organisational skills of a wet tea towel. The G4S one is just silly and probably a cop out response.
There are other security jobs on the market, have you looked around?

I would suggest you get any job, save up, learn to drive then open up some new oppurtunitys, not being able to drive and not living in a city will sadly limit your options.
I'm pretty certain there are things you could do to strengthen everything around your knees to help them, sitting around and chewing pain killers isn't going to help things but that's not a discussion for here

Dodgey street sellers no doubt, China for instance has a mass market of knock off iphones/phones and they probably get imported.
No idea matey. All I know is when I was signed on it was almost a pointless process. They took no formal notes of what I was interested in, what I was good at, copy of a CV, absolutely nothing.
I ended up getting a job without their 'help'.

Then complaints may be needed 
Looked at desk work? I'm surprised you've gone down the security route considering your kness?

Then complain higher up the chain if you wish OR, continue doing their tatty forms so you at least get the moneys then apply elsewhere

Woop. New job status achieved
Not much more pay, however it should hopefully give me some more scope for improvement over the next few years.
Bit more of a commute but I'm hoping the extra opportunities it will bring will make it worth it.

Hope it goes well Rids.
Without downplaying it, I hope they've improved it...When I looked in to it, it started talking about the ISA Bus and some other random things.
Still, may as well do it if you can

Good luck mate, could only wish for something like that.
Started a new job, currently don't have high hopes for it
Then give them a salary range and explain it would also depend on the commute, that way they can look for jobs within that range for you
nice work Kristoph, I'm somewhat the same, I need progression and a decent workload...I've recently taken on a job and I can't see the progression being that amazing, coupled with not much technical work I can see myself leaving the IT Industry, particularly Support roles, I honestly can't think of anything else I'd like to get involved with IT wise now
Awesome work buddy, something I always wondered whether to get involved in or not...Especially as Oxford isn't THAT far away from me.
Got the job in oxford
HAd to properly fight for it though, got rejected twice for 2 jobs, sent an angry email (as they said my current salary wouldn't be matched due to how much training id need...). Email got sent to manager of the team, who liked it, and offered me a junior position so I can prove myself. Bit of a ball ache, but I'm in.
Moving to oxford next weekend

You started this thread 5 years ago, surely you must have an idea by now?
Sounds to me like you need to take a risk or two.
No idea what so ever buddy
Get a thinking!
What's your qualifications, current position and interests?
No qualifications. IT technician. No idea...
I like drawing, lifting, science stuff, archaeology, technology development stuff...I am however starting to not enjoy IT Support and want to change to something more career worthy, I'm just a bit lost.
For career, I can't see qualifications hurting to be honest. Have you got A-Levels, or enough to get you to University or at least onto a OU course?
How old are you?
The reason I ask is that I had the same problem once upon a time. I was completely lost and drifted. I signed up for stuff I shouldn't have, and pursued careers that were not good (all before I was 20
I'm sure others will tell me I'm being unrealistic, but it sounds like you need some space to develop yourself. Maybe a degree isn't appropriate, but if you're already questioning things, then it means the mind wants more!
No A-levels, pretty poor GCSE's, best is a C in Art. And I'm 28. University never interested me unless it was specifically going towards something, so not something like English.
