November 7, 201113 yr comment_126900 Been out of work for a week and I honestly have no idea how anyone manages it. What the hell is there to do all day? Arghhhhh!
November 7, 201113 yr comment_126905 Mate, I've been for a day now. And incredibly bored already. ARGH!

November 8, 201113 yr comment_126993 Applied for jobs, waiting to hear back from them all.But, one of very very few to already hear back about returners interview. Lovely.
November 11, 201113 yr comment_127094 I Currently work for Vue Cinemas and The Geek Squad, part of Carphone Warehouse. I also have an upcoming interview for The Royal Bank of Scotland!
November 15, 201113 yr comment_127325 I'm currently working in France on a second 8 month contract and need to start looking for jobs back in the UK again soon, in case there are no permanent contracts available. However, my contract here finishes at the beginning of January, so naturally, almost "nowhere" will be looking for staff - oh the joys of being a seasonal!!
November 15, 201113 yr comment_127342 I'm currently working in France on a second 8 month contract and need to start looking for jobs back in the UK again soon, in case there are no permanent contracts available. However, my contract here finishes at the beginning of January, so naturally, almost "nowhere" will be looking for staff - oh the joys of being a seasonal!!Not far off the same situation. I have currently got what is called a 'Flexible Contract' at Next, absolutely brilliant idea. I am a self employed contractor so am sometimes out of work, what this basically means is that whenever my contracts expire, I can work there whilst I look for a new one (better than sitting at home) I am also doing what are called 'Bank Shifts' at a local hospital, the pay is pretty good and I often get phone calls if anybody has phoned in sick (quite often). I have two interviews tomorrow! One for the RBS As a Financial Change Analyst (which would be amazing!)Other for a hospital over in Bristol!
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127899 My job at the cattery is now back to Saturdays now it's the quiet period, so I'm on the hunt for a second job. If I don't find anything soon I'll have to resort to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqJpvWBQaMU
November 24, 201113 yr comment_127925 I went to an interview yesterday for The Discovery store in Guildford, they offered me the job there and then and I started straight away! The shop finally opens tomorrow and it's basically a quirky toy/gadget shop like Hawkins Bazaar. Exciting times
November 25, 201113 yr comment_127943 Urgh, if applying for grad schemes means MORE of those really crappy numeracy/literacy tests, I'm going to kill someone before the year is out...I don't mind the literacy stuff, that's a doddle, but the numeracy... I HATE them...
January 23, 201213 yr comment_130633 So, Discovery Store's closing down on Tuesday, making me jobless..... BUT I got an interview for sainsbury's on friday!
January 23, 201213 yr comment_130648 Good luck with the Sainsburys job, I used to work for them and they are actually pretty good employers.
January 23, 201213 yr comment_130653 Supermarkets generally are I find... I have quite enjoyed my time with some of them.Shame I have this fascination to continue working in a certain industry which only I can love... ish.
January 29, 201213 yr comment_131044 So, Discovery Store's closing down on Tuesday, making me jobless..... BUT I got an interview for sainsbury's on friday! Sainsburys will lie to you about pay and it increases after 6 months mine went from £5.95ph to £7.22ph. Plus its really fun if you have a good team

February 22, 201213 yr comment_132515 Have just started my new job as Software Support Manager for Barts & The Royal London NHS Trust. Am based in Whitechapel (which is like pakistan) but they have just spent 400m on an absolutely amazing new hospital. Am enjoying it all thus far, continue with a crappy induction tomorrow on how to lift up boxes and all that boring sheet.
