Admin Mk2Jo Posted March 31, 2010 Admin Report Posted March 31, 2010 Ian has had some really bad luck with going for interviews over the past month or so and employers are real messers - they promise you they will let you know and then you never hear from them. You chase them up and they don't return your calls. One driving job he got offered he was told that he would start on the Monday of the following week and after a number of phone calls by him chasing them up for a start time was then told that he hadn't got the job but they were offering him a lesser postion (less pay) in the company (drivers mate) and once again he chased them up to find out times etc and that was 3 weeks ago and he has never heard from them again Winds me up .... these employers don't seem to realise or even care that people are hanging on and waiting for the phone to ring and it is soul destroying when you keep getting let down At the moment, there are too many people going for too few jobs so to have got through a grilling 2 hour interview and to be offered a job all in one day is a breath of fresh air
DEP Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 And breathe , Just have to put it all down to experience at the end of the day and get on with it

Skimmer Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Nice one chap ive not done a lot since end November last year , the joys of self employment in the building industry i even asked about jobs in various well known businesses and the not getting back to you bit really winds me up especially the very large national motor factors that gave me a start date then as yourself got in touch re times etc then the manager denied ever talking to me twice , once was in his office ?? So good on you
turnover Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 nice one mate but dont envy you when your delivering them to flats with the lift broke
davreeve Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Well done Job interviews are not good for sure but are nessarsary.Pitty they could not all be like the one i had when i left school which went something like. Boss "Do you mind getting your hands dirty" Me "er no" Boss" start tommorow morning then" Hope it all works out for you .
GT_lenny Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 my last and only ever job interview went interview, i walked in handed over my bank details for them to pay me and asked what time i should turn up on the following monday the guy behind the desk was a bit taken aback as he'd not even introduced himself- he's been my gaffer for the last 3 yrs now
