How ****ing sad!!!

That sounds like something someone would do as a joke, not on a serious application

 

Yes but the job was to greet people, advise and help them, and talk to people on the phone and transfer them to the appropriate departments to suit their needs.

It wasn't to be an agony aunt.

 

Does my sig upset anyone

 

That's what most workplaces are like. Got to have banter. Everybody is human. But doesn't mean they don't go about things properly.

 

Exactly. With the interviewers and executives you have to be 100% PC, but i can call my work mates mackem bastards in the work place.
You should have heard the ****e that went round after the 5-1 win

It was class.

 

Everyone expects the formal tone of a person to drop after their application. You're formal in an application and interview, but of course they expect that seriousness to drop a few points as you come out as a normal person.

However, Tash already made himself sound like a plonker at the very first stage of his application, so they were probably wondering what they would expect if he did get the job, settle in and start being himself.

No doubt they found that risk too high in a hospital environment.

 

Seriously Tash why do you post articles like this?

You put yourself right in the firing line and then get upset about the comments. For your sake don't do it!

 

If you go into an interview swearing and cracking jokes what are you going to be like on the job? There's a time and a place for it, if you can't remain dignified for ten minutes during an interview, how can you be expected to maintain a professionalism while you're doing your job? At the end of the day they're paying you to be there to do a job, not to indulge in banter with your colleagues, so it's the serious aspect of your behaviour which they focus on during the interview.

 

I don't get upset at the comments. I just ignore the few twats.

Fair enough if you can cope with the ridicual, but I gringed when I read it at the thought of some of the comments you would get

 

Yes i know mate, i'm not stupid...

All i'm saying is that interviewers stress that you need to be sensitive and caring of others, and not use fowl language ect. But that's the direct opposite of what happens in the job. Ofoucrse no one goes as far as racism, but as i said, we all swear and say dirty jokes on the job, and no one cares, not even the managers.

I prefer it to be informal between work mates, but i don't see the point of them telling you not to swear and stuff like that when it happens anyway.

 

Exactly, i work answering phones. If a customer is up the office we all act professional until they go. We have a laugh, but as soon as a phone rings you have to stop and do your job.

 

Innn one

 

What a tool

 

Oi, Grammar Nazi! IT'S FOUL!

That's what i do though, i never said i did it to people over the phone or clients, jsut between work mates.

 

I know how it's spelt, it just happens when i'm typing fast sometimes. Who cares mate. It;s a forum.

 

But when they ****ing interview you you twat they want to see how you'd act to the clients not your work mates. That's what they're paying you to do. !
