Do I Take This Job If I Get It?

[abbeylee90]

I've just signed up with this agency and at first they asked if I could start this warehouse job I showed you a description of a few weeks ago but they want me to start sooner than 2 weeks which is notice I'm suppose to give. Just finished signing up with them. What do I do?

[Madgeorge]

Groundhog day?

[chelle7272]

Tell them you can't as you have to give 2 weeks notice

[Madgeorge]

Start sooner than 2 weeks and wait and see if your current employer begs you to come back?

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, didn't you apply for the job when you saw it a few weeks ago?  

I'd give the required two weeks notice, it's always good to leave an employer on civilised terms.

[abbeylee90]

Yes but it was weeks ago and obviously they haven't found anyone so don't see why I can't 

[DDIL]

Could you do the job?

The last warehouse job you had was a disaster as you failed the probation.

[bednobs]

do whatever you want.  You will anyway

[Neveracrossword]

I'm confused, Abbey - you answered 'yes' to my question about applying for the job before now. Did you hear anything, get an interview? 

[abbeylee90]

No I didn't it was I applied and it was an agency that called about it.

I will ask again - do you think you can do the job to a level that the employer will want to keep you on in a full time WAREHOUSE position?

[abbeylee90]

DIDL They replaced me before failing my probation so they could get an ex employee back.

[DDIL]

Well I can see an issue straight away - reliable, hardworking?

No the rest - Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.Reliable and punctual with a strong work ethic.Physically fit and able to lift and move items as needed

 

I don't think from what you have written here that you can do this job.

[DDIL]

So you keep saying

[scorpiojo]

...or you weren't up to the job, so they failed you and rehired the ex employee.

Thanks, Abbey, though it's all still a bit a mish-mash! You shared various job specifications with AB - one job looked reasonable, I think, another one seemed... not really for you. Are you convinced that this latest warehouse job is exactly what you want? Are the hours full-time? Is it easy to get to? Will you be able to do all aspects of the work? (You've come a cropper several times over the past couple of years...)

[abbeylee90]

All I know that he is bully the manager of the company. Neva it's 9-5 and yes it easy to get to.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Abbey - both for your reply and for the job spec you gave a little earlier (I type too slowly!) Anyway...I honestly feel that you'd struggle in that job - for example, I don't think you're best suited to a 'fast-paced environment', you've needed weeks if not months to settle in to almost any of the jobs you've had over the past few years. 

[DDIL]

Again so you say.

Every job you have had in the last 2 years you have had issues.

There is a pattern.

You will do what you want to do, do what do you want from us?

[abbeylee90]

Physically fit and able to lift items could be a downside.
