|
By:
the term "servicing" could mean all manner of things!.....i mean..prostitutes describe their activities as "servicing" clients!....i take it that you are not doing that with medical equipment?
|
|
By:

By:
i aint desperate mallard-just spent the last 4 yrs bouncing from dead end job to dead end job- and am after something with some prospects-wt do you do for a living mate?
|
|
By:
ripper, it isn't easy mate.
There are crap jobs, badly paid jobs, jobs no-one else would do, despite the pious **rs on here telling you it's a land of opportunity, and you shouldn't "scrounge" etc etc, (they can't see things from anyone else's perspective). Too many big companies, and hardly any manufacturing base, no-one with any money to spend, all conspire to make work in any field a success just now. Add to this, the lack of vacancies, because no-one wants to leave a 1/2 decent job for fear of no future. All that seems to be left are call-centre, awful agency rip-off jobs, and working for B&Q or Tesco. Good luck in your quest. |

Better get the decent jobs fast as the current immigrants climb up the decent jobs ladder and new immigrants start at the ladder bottom.

hi Galloping-Carrot,
whats your story mate? have been to one or two interviews-not had any luck sofar tho. |
|
By:
ripper....im currently working 60+ hours a week for £150......i love every minute of it....and wouldnt s** places with anyone!.....i have walked out on jobs paying me £2500 a month because i couldnt drag myself there every day for the next 30 years!.....i love what i do now, and hope to soon become a partner in the company im working for......but my point is....that if you are doing something that you hate...get out and find something that you dont hate.....lifes too short mate!.....its not a trial run!.....go find yourself something that you enjoy!
|
|
By:
as for advice......when you get an interview.....wear a turban and add the word "bin" or "ali abu" to your c.v......makes you a shoo-in for a lot of jobs!
