Nidge Weasle Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 i smashed one interview saying that due to the problems with the previous job and travel etc, i saved up and bit the bullet, took a risk of having no employment to then develop myself as a potential employee. had to take the time off to grow proffesionally and personally and that im happy I did it as now i in a much better position to both learn and grow but also provide the highest positive impact on your company that i can. ended with a joke about what a stupid decision it was in a lot of ways and how it could have backfired, got everyone laughing and relaxed the interview 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mame Biram Diouf Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Took care of an ill family member? Went back home to help with family Voluntary work If they gave you an interview there should be a chance to blag it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafter Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 voluntary work is a nice solid one anything you say you've got to be prepared for questions but if you have a blurb all set up, you can give them less space to ask you questions Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greens Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Voluntary work would of been something you would of mentioned in your cv or job app so they might find it odd if you suddenly brought it up in the interview. Good one to use from the start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Rollins Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Taking my employers to an employment tribunal and suing their clart. This new guy joined my store end of last year and within 3 months he had me realising even my boss and regional managers/directors are all employees of the company and have to answer to someone. People in big positions think they can take the piss, abuse their power and manage you out the business if they don't like you. Nah bredrin, not me. / I think going over my work history, I can't work for most people (I'd say white people/bosses/women but it's not even that). I have a low tolerance for fuckery, and a lot of that happens in jobs. I can't keep quiet any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHN DOE Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Got a job interview for a really promising position this week. Any suggestions of what to say in regards to a long spell of unemployment? Pm if you need a reference Any company any industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badman Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 There really shouldn't be any gaps on your CV. Fill them out and get somebody close to you to vouch for reference Also referees are not allowed to say anything bad about you (Law man please confirm) so this is more a formality than anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where an employee has not been given the legal gap between shifts consistently for 3 months straight, what action can be taken against the company?

Seymour Cake Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sounds like a breach of working time directive law. There must be 11 hour gap between shifts. I would ask the employeer for an official record of the shift patterns, and take that straight to ACAS, possibly to start a employment tribunal claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
