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.?

As an employer I frequently use Indeed for recruiting. 'Indeed' never set anyone up with an interview , they are just a platform for advertising job vacancies,but there is a messaging facility by which you can arrange an interview either by phone or in person. Abbey, by applying for that warehouse job, which you MUST  have done, you are wasting both your time and the employers time as from reading your previous posts you have not got the required skills to perform what looks like a series of complicated and important procedures. You seems stressed out even at a checkout!  

[abbeylee90]

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

[Auntypoll]

Do you actually know what an excel  spreadsheet is abbey? 

[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.
