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.

When you mention CV, Abbey, how many pages does this consist of?  Two days here, 5 hours there, ad infinitum.

[abbeylee90]

2 pages. Probably won't go I'll txt her

[abbeylee90]

This is what they said when I messaged them.

Hi Abbey, when I read your cv your organised you can use a computer you have custom skills you've worked in a warehouse environment. The only thing you don't have is a forklift license, which we can put you on a course. Your not wasting our time, if you want come in have a chat and see what we are all about- choice is yours thanks.

I'm not impressed with the standard of written English on that message.

Is that message from the agency or from the company? I don't understand what they mean by "if you want come in have a chat and see what we are all about"- that sounds more like it's from the warehouse.

If so, you've nothing to lose.

I can only assume that is abbey's transcript of what was sent to her by the hirers. The English is appalling.

I say this over and over, why can't people be honest, Abbey there is no way you should be anywhere near a forklift when you've started having seizures again. Also you never answered but when do you use a computer, are you OK with Word and Excel. I seriously doubt it.

[newmodarmy]

I'm just thinking that if abbey is available she has nothing to lose by turning up for a chat, but she needs to be honest about her seizures. They may take a liking to her and be able to tweak the role or find a different role for her.

[Hazlinny]

They must work late to reply to your text after 7 p.m.?

Haz was 8am this morning. I'm not going to be the smartest for an interview dress wise.

[abbeylee90]

Yes

[abbeylee90]

So I've just come from the interview and some is ok but not sure how patient they are and how long it will take for me to learn 

[naomi24]

When are they going to let you know if you've got the job?

[newmodarmy]

Ah well, even if you don't get any further, you can learn from these interviews.

Did they cover the fork lift truck aspect and training; and did you tell them about your seizures?

[abbeylee90]

No they said let them no next week and they will invite me in for a formal interview.

No I've emailed the hospital.

[naomi24]

Let them know what next week?

[abbeylee90]

If I want to go in for a formal interview

[naomi24]

Oh ok.  And will you go?  Did you not find the job a bit daunting?

[newmodarmy]

So it was just a chat so you could find out more about the role, to help you decide whether you want to attend a formal interview.

Sorry Naomi, I was too slow typing.
