monkeyblair Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know. I just know the full house is going to be in a guddle for the next wee while. I have enlisted help, so at least I won't be doing it all myself I always enlist the help of a tradesman for these kinds of things - DIY does not suit me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've been registered with a recruitment agency to get some temporary work over the holidays before I get back to Uni. I registered with the Stirling one (which covers Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannan) but their Livingston branch was short so I've been doing work for them (West Lothian, Edinburgh and Fife). What's the story with this sort of thing, Gaz? I really am clueless so I'm probably going to sound pretty stupid here. Does it cost you anything to register with them? And how regular is the work? I take it depends on your previous experience and stuff, and if you register with f**k all they won't give you much work? Or not? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footiechick Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I always enlist the help of a tradesman for these kinds of things - DIY does not suit me... You sound like my other half. He would like a tradesman to do it, but not pay for it! I don't mind DIY, but I've got to psyche myself up for it. Once I'm started I actually enjoy it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Saintee Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 What was the job, CS? Claims Adviser for Aviva. I was surprised I even got interviewed, to be honest. Where I fell down was that all of the questions centred on your previous experience of sales and the like, and I've never had a job so I just had to pull things out of my arse and so I fell down. Ach well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Saintee Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Better luck next time. Ever thought about going back into education? Thanks. I'm going to uni in September, so it's kind of a coundown now because obviously I need a lot of coin. Back to chatting to barstaff about bar work, I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
