Would It Be A Bad Thing If I Told People I'm Looking For A New Job?

[abbeylee90]

A colleuge said today he think my boss (checkout manager) would be on my side if he knew and I was looking and managers wouldn't care.

[abbeylee90]

Indeed must have put me forward because I know I wouldn't have applied got a job that requires a forklift licence. 

Might do that got my trial in charity shop at 1pm.

If you are worried that what you say might have a negative effect, then just keep your mouth shut and say nothing at all.  

Simple.

[abbeylee90]

What do you mean?

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, isn't it just an answer to the main question you asked?

[newmodarmy]

It's you that complicated things slightly, abbey, by going off on a bit of tangent about tomorrow.

[maggiebee]

If I was an employer, I'd be looking for a reference from your previous employer.  What do you think that might say?

[abbeylee90]

Well why would selco need to refused me a reference for going to a job with more hours.

[naomi24]

They wouldn't refuse.  They'd probably just confirm that you worked there.

[naomi24]

Joe dud your trial go?  You weren't there long.

[calmck]

Selco won't refuse to give you a reference. It might not be a very good one given the problems you have had

[abbeylee90]

You can't give bad references.

Naomi trial tomorrow at 1pm interview booked for 11.30.

[abbeylee90]

Calm what problems have I had?

[naomi24]

I know they can't give bad references, abbey.  Don't worry about it.

 

God knows what my predictive text did there!!  

[abbeylee90]

Yes I booked it for then as place down road from selco but not sure I'm going now.

[naomi24]

Not sure you're going where?  To the interview or the trial at the charity shop?

[calmck]

Problems at Selco. Reduced hours, no contract, having difficulty on tills. These are some of the things you have told us about

[abbeylee90]

Naomi Interview 

Yes but I'm not applying for jobs on the till selling products with no bar code.

[naomi24]

Abbey, you won't be able to do that job.  It's too much responsibility and it's a job that needs to be taken very seriously.  You should cancel.  You're wasting your time and theirs.

[abbeylee90]

I will because there's I  applied for that so they got my CV somehow.

[naomi24]

Up to you - but be prepared for disappointment.
