How Was Your Day? VII

[Siobhan]

I am not sure that would work, to be honest. Preparation is the key, I think. Know what the job is about, do some research before you attend the interview. Always good to mention jobs/duties you have done that relate to that job. Eye contact is important but don´t stare at your interviewer(s). Smile a lot. Practice it with a friend or family member .. record yourself if you can .. listen to it and make changes to your replies if you feel that it would be appropriate. Remember, they know you are nervous and will make allowances ... good luck

This is the advise I was giving when I went to job seeker meeting. I would also try an agency. They do pre-interview prep with you and they are eager for you to get the job cause it is actually their job on the line. If it helps, give us some of the questions you were asked at the interviews and we can give advise on how to answer it should it come up.

thank you Perdita. My employment consultants seem to think I should work in a dry cleaners or in a kitchen, I have no food hygiene certificates nor do I want to work with harsh chemicals!! I will be meeting them on Wednesday, I am standing my ground!!

I hate when they do that.. I had this once and trust me I am so bad in a kitchen. I lasted 4 hours in one job and a week in another kitchen job..Not for me

That strikes me as being very lazy on the agency's part and looks as if they are trying to palm job seekers off with anything available to get them off their books and a tick in the box for successful job allocation and another tick in the right box for the company... makes me sick

think that is exactly it... They can say they got someone a job and their figures look good. The worst part is that soon after the person doesn't do well in the job and is let go and back to the job center

Im still having problems with my anti sad pills, Im dropping DONALDS left right and centre that could destroy the ozone layer.

Ah well Mrs May is having a worst week, having to rely on anti gayiests anti abortionists to prop up your government must make for a great laxative.

But then Corbyn wants to spend billions we dont have bribing the students to vote for him and his policy of free university places...

Sorry to hear Splashy of your continuing problems. Perhaps for the time being , maybe a price worth paying , as long as the pills are having the desired effect ? I guess if it becomes intolerable another visit to the Doc ? In which case I hope the appointments system down your neck of the woods is quicker than here.
As regards the election I'm always amazed as to how politicians time and time again misread the mood of the country and try to take voters for granted.

Definately need to have meds changed to something more suitable. There is always alternatives. I think my daughter had to change her anti depressants 3 times before she adjusted to one.

[Splashy]

Thank you .... Im going to stick with these pills, if the only side effect is flunky town then Im getting off lightly, I took Seroxat ln the last century and became a walking zoombie because of it.

My thoughts go out to those who have suffered or are suffering in the Tower block fire in London.
