Innit blood.
So does your new job increase your pay to a new level?
(, Sun 27 Nov 2011, 21:43, Reply)
Depends if I get it.
Or them. One is working with a mate and former colleague, but it's 2 days a week. The salary scale is not bad, but obviously the pro rata bit brings the actual salary down a chunk. The other would be full time, and about £3k less than I was on, but it's a half hour walk up the street so no petrol costs.

Sorry. I thought you'd been offered a new job.
Well fingers crossed you get the one you want at a rate you want.

Did I read that other day that your better half had been headhunted too?

It's a possibility, yes.
Nothing definite at the moment though. But she'd be paid a hell of a lot better than she is now, for doing the same type of work.

I think I'd enjoy the job with my mate more, tbh, although it's part time he reckons the likelihood is it'll become full time because he thinks his secondment will become permanent. The other job is as an employment adviser for a private company hired to hound dolescum on the government's behalf, which, while I have the experience is less attractive. Although the significantly better wage than I was on when I worked for the jobcentre is quite an incentive.

Well go for both of them.
You might be faced with a nice problem to have!

Already got the application in for the first.
Need to ring the employer for the second tomorrow to clarify a point with them.

A bit of verbal communication is good.
It means they'll be expecting your application.
(, Sun 27 Nov 2011, 21:56, Reply)
Indeed.
The rest of the stuff's done but I need to confirm what they want on the covering letter as it's a bit vague.

Also those lovely Jobcentre people have told me I have to do voluntary work to get my JSA. If I have to do it it's not then voluntary, surely?
(, Sun 27 Nov 2011, 21:59, Reply)
'voluntary' is a euphemism for 'unpaid'.

(, Sun 27 Nov 2011, 22:01, Reply)
Well, yeah.
I might ask my old boss if I can do some project appraisal work for him as I gather the team is a bit snowed under at the moment. At least I can do that at home, and I enjoy it.

Tell them it'll take you away from applying for jobs.

It's not actually a bad thing to have on a CV
It means you've been doing something constructive rather than watching Jeremy Kyle and eating Haribo worms.

I'd rather spend my time looking for work though.
It's annoying that they expect you do do it straight away, rather than, say, after six months.

It's fucking indentured labour
Why the fuck are companies going to create jobs when the jobcentre will send them free workers?
(, Sun 27 Nov 2011, 22:39, Reply)
It also means they don't have to pay you JSA at all, because you're in work. Even though it's unpaid.

He's a top man.
Although let me tell you that his C.V had a typo in it, when he sent it to me.

(I only say that, so I don't get fewer 'Jeff Helped!' points when you get a new job).

The first step is admitting it.

If that's the first 'step' is there a 5-6-7-8 plan to finding a cure?
