Getting employment is very hard these days especially with the Credit Crunch. My previous experience in employment has not always been pleasant including two times being made redundant in my previous jobs. The trick always has been when getting a job of selling your self in the interview. No matter who you are (shy,loud,confident) you need to sell your self in the interviews when going for a job. Employers look for those type of people who are confident this has played a big factor in me getting a job over the years. When working for companies it never has been pleasant so far me. Two companies such as Capita and Granby Marketing here in Blackburn have been ...  Read the complete review

I can not honestly say that I have ever really had a good experience with employment agencies, but the worst experience I had was with this agency in Dublin, Ohio(if you want to know the name of the agency, please email me privately). The first time I heard about them was when I was a student at DeVry University, they were highly recommended for placing people(or as they say now, "candidates") into positions in IT. well, the first time I went there, the recruiter told me about a company that was looking for a tech support supervisor, and had not yet found one that he wanted to hire, even the recruiter didn't know what exactly the ...  Read the complete review

Like many other people, I have been made redundant. Twice. The first time, I had all the assurances that it was nothing that I did or didn't do, that I'm a wonderful employee and even better person, and that 'when one door closes another opens' and other handy yet oh-so-annoying cliches.

Today... Today is an important day... I always like it, when people sit and wait for me... And when I finally arrive, they sing in chorus "We, have being waiting for you" I always feel that I am different from the crowd... I always want to look different wearing something funky...and making fashion statements Everyone says, I talk too much... but this is what everyone likes about me... Tonight ... It is going to be a long night... I was just in time ...thanks to God... I was still feeling different... I was still the center of attraction... Then what went wrong? Why in hell I wasn't good enough for ...  Read the complete review

I thought I would write about my days on the dole and the days when I work, this might help students and to realise it's not just them who's poor. It's only done light heartedly so no offence. Here are my Top Ten Frugal Tips. 1* Stay in bed most of the day so I didn't have to put the gas fire on. I lived for a while in a tiny bedsit in Manchester and prefered to go out drinking, so I could save the money for beer. The gas was by meter and so was the electric, I would sometimes have to call the meter man out as coins would get stuck, then the poor man would take pity on me and slide back a few pound coins into the meter giving me a ...  Read the complete review
