morning!

[lcg]

up early again. have a job 'interview' today to see if the nhs will keep me in my post during a reshuffle of services :o( feel a bit rubbish and i'm awake after only three hours sleep. grrrr x

hope you are all still tucked up in bed, but good morning y'all when you eventually gravitate here a bit later x

[lady-janine]

good morning lcg. hope all goes well for you today. went through the same sort of thing when i worked for nhs. this was years ago. don't realy understand why they keep doing it.

>>>still tucked up in bed???

I haven't got there yet!

Good morning to you (and to Lady J), BTW ;-)

Im in it but im not asleep :0( god ive tried!!!

[lcg]

hiya. i think most of us are at the point of not caring any more as we have been treated very badly...which is of course a real shame. if they don't use this opportunity to weed out the lazy 'dross' from our hospital, then more fool them, really. i work very hard and always go the extra mile for patients, so if they don't want my services, then maybe i shouldn't be working there. so many staff have bad attitudes and are sooooooo lazy it's just not funny. not any more, anyway. the nhs is really going downhill imho. morning to you! x

morning icg. I hope today brings whatever you wish. x

Morning others :) xxxx

[lady-janine]

lcg - when will they let you know?

[emmie]

morning, awake since 3 so decided to get coffee on...

[albaqwerty]

Moonie had a similar thing late last year. They told him they would let him know if he had 'won' his own job. The colleague who 'won' told him, the bosses didn't let him know.

LJ, how's the wood-burner?

[lady-janine]

hi alba. have not lit it yet as finish has to be 'cured' and the manufacturers recommend lots of ventilation and being out of the room when you do it. also recommend doing it with several small burnings not one big one, so looks like it will take a few days. thanks for asking.

sorry lcg to have hijacked your thread.

[albaqwerty]

Morning Em x

It'll be worth the wait I'm sure LJ :D

[lady-janine]

i got moved slightly downwards to make way for some guy with a degree. he turned out not to be able to do the job and so they asked me to come back after a couple of months until they found another person with a degree to do job. i was very upset as i was doing my degree through ou but still had a way to go. part of job requirement was to have a degree so why did they appoint me in first place!!!!!

[albaqwerty]

Why some companies focus on degrees and qualifications defeats me.
It proves you are capable of passing an exam and not proving you can do the job. Don't shout at me, I've got qualifications. One job I was offered was because of the length of time I was in employment.

[emmie]

getting a job is a lottery, if your face fits as they say, having sat in on interview panels as an observer, reckon that it's not a cv that the employer judges you on so much as what you say in the first 20 seconds. Seen that so often, and listened to comments about the person who has just walked out the door, like she/he is not suited because of their age, size, etc, which i always found horrendous, but i wasn't there to judge.

[lady-janine]

i never applied for the job they obviously thought i was good enough and asked me to do it. i loved it and found it so interesting. really enjoyed it. was so hurt when all the sh*t happened.

[Zhukov]

Good morning all,wishing our Caledonian cousins a happy Burns night!

[albaqwerty]

'getting a job is a lottery' very true em. Nowadays getting an interview is a lottery.

Do you remember when a Company would even take the time to reply? They don't even do that these days.

[lady-janine]

sorry lcg. moan over. all very best wishes to you.
