I just cant win
I went to a interview last week ....applied to the job on the info advertised (service engineer)....When i got to the interview the job was totally different ...job spec and duties, hours and wages etc ..Like a good job seeker i have to report to the job centre ...so today i tell them ....what did they say to me ......If offered the job i have to take it or lose my benefits ....it is a job i cannot do ...both physically and mentally....i am not even sure of the health and safety side as they want to do test on my skin to see if i can handle the extreme chemicals they use ...I know a job is a job but every one have their limits i don't think cleaning up other peoples excrement and vomit is what i feel comfortable doing....and the job centre just say tough..If it had been a advert for anything else trading standards would have a field day ....PS i am hoping that i dont get it is some ways

A great many people have to do jobs they don't like.But they have a moral duty to do all they can before holding their hands out for tax payers money, all to often tax payers who are doing jobs THEY don't like.
Sorry Steve, no offence intended to you but it's a view that I have long held.

It is so annoying like everyone you go to an interview thinking this is it i can do this job. It is not the first time that things have changed by time you get there.I remember being called back for a third interview to find out that it had gone from full time permanent to part time for three months.
So upsetting as well.

Just thought i would let you know ....I DIDN'T get the job ...obviously the realised either my apprehension or the fact i was not a person to be 'used' .....strange but after trying for a job for 12 months I dont exactly feel disappointed that i didn't get it ...Hopefully perhaps i will get a shot at the one i interviewed for on Monday ....24-08-2012, 09:49 AM
