I had a second interview for a contract with a company who at the time were leaders in the parcel delivery and private mail industry. It was a boiling hot day and parked in the car park was an ice cream van and in the queue the woman who was to interview me again. They had already agreed to give me as hoc work at the first interview and this was to finalise rates for a permanent liveried vehicle. Hello’s were exchanged and I held open the main door for her. “We are upstairs in the boardroom” she said and so I followed behind. As she got to the top of the first flight she stopped and said “Be careful, I might drip on you!” My reply of “That’s alright I’m used to it, I have that effect on women” did not go down too well. I didn’t get the contract!
Most applicants will read any paperwork they receive, they may even read the last few posts on here join the dots up, view the smiley faces, and see the attempted humourous nature of said posts. Of course 'some' may not.
Maybe football agent is the change in career we could all do with. Even if these figures are only half correct if makes you despair for the game we love and wonder how long before it implodes. Hopefully soon. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...-paid-820-000-WEEK-join-Chelsea.html#comments
The company I had a interview with have not been in touch with have not been in touch and I had the interview 11 days ago. I'm not sure how long I can keep doing the job I'm doing. I have no work life balance, they job is boring and not challenging as the person I support does not want to done anything unless he has money.
Will they be worth you phoning to ask what the "next steps" are? It reminds them that you're keen, and while I know you expect to have heard something already, by giving them the opportunity to either break bad news to you or give you hope, most people would take that on the chin and be honest with you. I've been working in and around sales for years and no-one really needs months to make a decision. Most decisions are fairly straightforward, it's the process of implementation that takes time. Maybe by asking them what they need to do it will show your interest in their circumstances. Often employees have responsibility but no authority, and getting sign-off takes forever. It's also not in their interest to string you along. I'm hearing of businesses that are short staffed at the moment, with people working all hours, but they're either struggling to recruit trained staff (and have no time to provide training) or they're nervous of taking on new staff in uncertain times. Times are always uncertain and any steps you can take to show that you are a good fit will help improve your odds. In the end, this is unlikely to be the last interview you ever have or last job you ever go for, so keep trying and know that we are all here wishing you the best.
Eleven days days isn't too bad, Caz. Eleven days isn't that long, Caz. Remember how long it took before you got the job at that other place? It'll come mate, it will come.
Working for Siemens myself I disagree with the pound of flesh comments and likening to 24k an hour at Ideal, the money on the shop floor is much better then that and with the right attitudes and work ethics I have seen lads come in on agency and be given skills/opportunities to rise up through the ranks. It can be challenging but nothing worth having ever comes easy.
Some needs to sort the twats out! Why not Casual? well done mate. PS we have a vacancy in used car marketing if it’s of interest
