Getting a job
« on: Monday 23 April 2007, 11:43:41 PM »
Jesus wept how hard is it to get employed these days? I'm trying to get a job for the summer as I'm finished Uni from the middle of May till October or something but nowhere wants any staff/me. I must hvae filled in about a dozen application forms I'm sick of the sight of them and writing the same bollocks over and over again. Everywhere demands custoemr service experience which I don't have as my previous 2 jobs were essentially kitchen work (dishwashing and stuff) Anybody got any tips where to apply in Newcastle, preferably city centre but I'll take whatever's going on current form!

I always thought people looking for temporary jobs could do a lot worse than Pizza Hut.

Take it from me, you don't really want a job. Work sucks. Getting your first job is like getting your first pube: you get all excited about it, you may possibly even brag to your mates because now you feel like a "real man", but pretty soon you realise that this seemingly momentous development actually isn't all that brilliant after all, as all it really signals is the end of the simple life. From hereonin it's just gonna get bushier and bushier until birds start nesting there (if you're lucky). Don't get a job. Get a Remington Fuzz Away. Much better, and far more fun.

I've had 2 jobs and as I said they were both kitchen based. I basically want/need experience working with customers, whether it be on the phone or face to face. Obviously in a perfect world I would sit around my arse for 4 months but realistically, I need an income or next years food budget is going to be minimal.

Government work sounds like a laugh. Primeminister might be canny.

Avoid work at all costs till you really HAVE to do it.

Well midds in the majority of cases they want my previous employers as references, so I'm guessing they will.

In an odd turn of events, I just got a rejection e-mail from William Hill. Based on the bloody test you do upon applying online. How embarassing.

Bollocks. You say you did all of the 'customer service' s**** and the restaurants are no longer trading. You blag the f***er. Get your foot i9n the door and dazzle them with your personality.  ;)

just do telesales or some bollocks like that. Sign up with Reed or Manpower or some agency n all n you'll be sorted. Trying to find a job myself at the moment but a permanent one, seems to be requiring effort to do though...something in which i am lacking.

Agreed.  It's so frustrating.

Every decent job requires 'previous experience'.  How are you supposed to get that if no c*** hires you?

Oh, well.  I think I'm just going to enjoy a free summer until I worry about getting a job.
