Forum: Work

I am on this and was referred to Remploy. All I've done is job searching - something I am capable of doing myself. They've tried (and failed, thankfully) to get me to apply for an unsuitable job. They also want me to do a work placement - I did that last year and am still there on a part-time basis. When I asked why, they said it's because I need the experience (I do?) and because they want...

I don't have conduct issues, just performance and it's really killing me bc I'm disorganized. k so like I give out samples at Sam's Club and it's really more demanding than it looks, which is why they pay $10 an hour. Anyway, either I couldn't get things done fast enough or I forget to do it all together. Sometimes, I even forget the supplies I need to complete tasks. It's really getting on ppl's...

It seems that our economy is fucked... That and I need a change. I have always wanted to work in different countries, cultures and so on and yeah... I've considered TEFL. I was wondering if anybody else has done work abroad, or can make any suggestions or ideas? My flatmate, an aussie, said that Australia is great at the moment and I'd be able to get a bar or admin job easy. Obviously...

First of all, referring to my prev thread, I just wanna say I passed my 90 days. Now for the bad part: I don't have conduct issues, just performance and it's really killing me bc I'm disorganized. k so like I give out samples at Sam's Club and it's really more demanding than it looks, which is why they pay $10 an hour. Anyway, either I couldn't get things done fast enough or I forget to do it...

I have joined Monster.co.uk and I would like to write a Personal Statement, but I'm unsure what to write in it. What things should I say?

I need a new 'exciting' job. I work in a chocolate factory at minimum wage (I'm 28). For what we do we should be on more!!! Are there any office jobs which require you not to use a telephone? I'm asking because they don't agree with me. And when I did some work experience at Bradford & Bingley Building Society in Crossflats, Keighley, for college quite a few years ago. Someone shouted at me...

This is what everyone keeps telling me but the anxiety has crept in because we can afford this month's rent and just make the bills but no idea what we can do next month. I've been belatedly rejected by Asda after ringing today and asking what the outcome of my interview/work trial is. They hadn't thought to let me know I'd been unsuccessful despite being met with great feedback during the...

Basically I am leaving my current job, Moving back to England and living down south and have a new full time job lined up. However my current employers have asked if I would continue to provide IT Support & network administration for them on a self employed basis However, I have no idea where to even contemplate looking into go self employed, how does it work with a full time job? It...

Don't get me wrong. They're nice to me to my face, but I try too hard to fit in and it kinda rubs them the wrong way. I prolly come across as too intrusive when I join their conversations in the break room, as to seem like butting in. At least that's what they complained to our supervisor about. They been here awhile and has formed a tight knit clique, which I hadn't realized. Plus, as the 2nd...

I got a response from the teaching course i applyed for, and i have to go for a introductory session in a couple of weeks. Trouble is, anything to do with work and training and 'official' paperwork stuff just throws me off. It just looks so daunting and official and i dont think i can live up to it to be honest

Help me make sense of the 90 day probationary period? Specifically to my situation: The handbook said something about 90 day probationary period. I'm now 60 days on the job. So a few days ago, I asked my boss what happens after 90 days. Basically, what she said is that 90 days is just a number (she didn't say it word for word, btw.) People could be canned b4 their 90 days is up if they fvck...

So ive been through uni, have a degree in film and in debt to the tune of roughly £12,000, lovely. Im now thinking about applying for a higher education teaching course which will allow me to teach film at sixth form level. However the fee for this is £7000, totalling me at £19,000 in debt!!! I know that doing this will put me on the right track to having a good career but it just...

I took a new job about 6 weeks ago in a new field to what I normally (from operations to sales) and its going REALLY well. So well infact I'm starting to freak out. Because I'm not sure if its what I want. I don't like the whole targets and bonuses ting - I'm not particularly money driven, I work more on the basis of feeling good about what I have done. Part of the anxiety comes from my mental...

Mine is going awesome. U?

Im wondering if anybody knows what kind of qualifications i would need to have to teach at A-Level? Im thinking of pursuing teaching film mainly and am just currently researching what it will entail. I have contacted my old college teacher and another college to see what they say as well.

So, I have an interview on Thursday. Yaaaaaay me. But the bit where they ask if you have any questions for them? I suck at that bit. Help >.<

(I don't know what forum this should be in, mods move it if you want) I asked on here about not applying to university, and everyone on here, my teachers and my parents basically told me that even if I didn't want to go, I should make a good application anyway, as a backup plan or whatever. I ignored everyone (don't know whether this was a good decision, but it's too late now) and decided not...

So after everything thats happened I have 2 options now. I can go for the completely new coffee shop job, or my old manager had agreed to let me go over to her shop but she can only give me 3 days a week for now. Im leaning towards going over the other store, even though its less hours. The thing now is how do i tell my boss? Im not good with confrontation at all, and i dont want her to be...

I dont really even know where to begin with whats wrong with her. Shes has been working at our store for less than a week and has already reduced 4/5 of our staff to tears (me and my sister included), has had comlaints to her boss from us and has made two of us feel physically ill and sick at just the thought of working with her. I work at a well known coffee shop (wont say a name in this post...

I should know this by now, but I always ask my parents this question. I received a sick note that was dated on a Monday two weeks ago. Now my question is Do I go back tomorrow or Tuesday? If got the note dated on the Monday, surely it must end at 5pm on Monday evening, and I should be going back to work on the following day.
