[Nidge Weasle]

I was meant to be put on an assistant management course but .... well its a long story. I was mugged off basically.

Yeah was thinking bout getting an sia, also thinking od getting into brick laying or something

[J. Edgar]

I used to be like you, hated coming to work (counting down to payday and clock-watching), management were wankstain. It took me 2 months into the role to realise I didn't want to work there anymore So after work I would be online just applying for jobs. Paid off after 9 months when I smashed an Interview, and the feeling of handing in my notice to my manager was the best feeling, to add insult to injury I ducked out by the end of the week (really didn't feel the need to be there anymore)

 

Now loving my new job so much I don't realise when payday comes and goes.

Cosign the above statement.... hating a job and the feeling that people at work tryna mug you off is a powerful tool.

 

3 years ago when i was fresh out of uni i got a grad role in a small to medium sized computer company.... Roll was rubbish but it was work. The people i worked with were cool but management were d1ckheads and really undermined me and tried to belittle me... Anyways for 6 months or so i would go home after work and spend a few hours looking for a new job (even did it at work sometimes).... the feeling when you hand in your notice and tell them you are moving to a much bigger and better company is priceless. My ex managers face when i told her i was moving to an investment bank   especially being black and the management all white i bet she thought i would amount to nothing....

try apprenticeship which offer industry specific skills sets not job specific. No money in trying to be a jack of all trades.

Ever seen someone on LinkedIn claim to work for a company that doesn't exist? Can't be life. 

[R1.]

Probably just boosting his CV

[dub]

But putting your current job as working for a company that doesn't come up on Google is foolish surely?

[R1.]

o seen its his current job

 

yeah that's dumb still

[Kim]

would u lie about the experience u have had

 

going for a driving job but wanna lie say ive had experience which is partly true anyway

[dub]

Nah, if its experience that you'll very likely be called out on, don't lie about it.

They can sue you if you waste their money.

[dub]

Okay, so I'm redrafting up my CV, which has my first proper job after having graduated.

How do I restructure?

Like first instinct is to put my current job as the first thing, but do I then put all the other (somewhat irrelevant) work experience after, before my education?

Or do I put my education after my proper job, then have an "other work experience" section after?

[Nidge Weasle]

work experience before education, unless your education is of a high standard

what the best sites for IT jobs 

 

i feel websites such as reed.co.uk, and monster.co.uk, are to bait, and my CV don't get look at 

 

certain jobs have like 150 plus applicants, like wtf 

[Yardie 2.0]

use monster.com, a lot of IT jobs there.

 

or better yet the wider indeed.co.uk

[R1.]

Does anyone send follow up emails after interviews?

Put your CV out there, Monster etc.

Try get buddy to a recruitement agent, same guy got me three interviews, passed the second.

[dub]

Yeah them recruitment agents are fiends for a decent CV. I was getting like 5 calls a day when I submitted mine to Monster. Even if they are bait, jus go through to get to know the process.

[Guest 90210]

how many people here work in the square mile?

[Mizchif]

For the love of god don't lie about your educational achievements or job history when you go for a good job.

 

I randomly linked up with some old work mates, spoke to someone in HR who I knew and she told me all about how she was contacted by my company asking for loaaaaads of information

[Mizchif]

Does anyone send follow up emails after interviews?

No but one of the best pieces of advice i've been given is to ensure you ask the interviewer if they need any clarification on any points mentioned during the interview, alot of people just skip over things (even interviewers) and then judge you for them at a later date. If you ask them to clarify then you can address anything they might be concerned about on the spot and it looks alot better.

[Mr. Martinez]

Obviously only exaggerate the truth where you're not providing direct contact information for people that can say otherwise.

[Mizchif]

Oi Carlos I forwarded your linkedin to my boss at Amazon, they're gonna screen your profile, if you're in the market for a new job that is.

 

Anyone with any digital experience? We're looking at a broad range of candidates so any tech experience, co-ordination, operations, will probably get the once over, let me know!
