Why Might I Be Struggling For A Job?

[abbeylee90]

I keep applying for jobs as I want to get out of selco as you know but I can't even get an interview

[abbeylee90]

Don't know if I would take it if I was offered though.

[Hazlinny]

Why, Abbey?

[abbeylee90]

Sometimes it cam finish as late as 9pm.

[newmodarmy]

Did you get any clarity on the salary for this role given that there seemed to be no set hours and you could go home as soon as you finished all tasks for the day (or stay late into the night if necessary?)?

[abbeylee90]

It's 11.50 p/h

 

General warehouse and housekeeping duties

· Loading and unloading of goods

· Delivery of orders as an when required

[newmodarmy]

Yes, so you are paid by the hour? I thought you said you could go home when the work was finished for the day.  How many hours a week on average do they expect you to work or how much would you be expected to be paid in a typical week?  

[abbeylee90]

Yep not a set could be 4pm could be 9m and 40 hours per week.

[newmodarmy]

So it'd be a sort of zero hours contract. Would there be a guaranteed minimum number of hours? 

[DDIL]

If you do you 40 hours in 4 days though does that mean you are off the rest of the week?

[abbeylee90]

It says 40 hours on job description got an interview Monday.

[naomi24]

You've got an interview somewhere else?

[ladybirder]

Abbey, minimum wage will go up in April next year to £12.21 an hour.

[naomi24]

To be honest, abbey, I think you need a job with specific hours. 

[abbeylee90]

Naomi yes round corner from my work new store opening.

[naomi24]

That sounds good,  What type of store?  What do they sell?

[abbeylee90]

Called Bailey DIY

[abbeylee90]

All sorts, sweets,vapes, booze

[newmodarmy]

Not my idea of DIY.

Sounds like the sort of store that sells under the counter nitrous oxide cannisters as well.

[abbeylee90]

I don't know what to think either maybe see when I get to the interview.

[naomi24]

That sounds like a type of pound shop.  Give it a try, abbey.
