What Do I Do?

[abbeylee90]

I'm really struggling financially and don't get paid till next Friday. How do I get money?

[barry1010]

Have you thought about working in one of the many hotels in your area?  Housekeeping, kitchen, bar, reception?

[andres]

You also said a couple of weeks back that you really would like to do a packing job. What became of that ?

[abbeylee90]

I would like to do packing but can't rely on  just that for now.

Panic over I got an interview in another home bargains next week 

[Redhelen72]

But the panic isn't over because why would this be any different from the other home bargains.

Also, when people make suggestions or offer ideas, it's polite to acknowledge them.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, glad to hear you have got an interview. I hope that's a full-time job? That's something you desperately need, have needed for a very long time.  If you're asked about your previous experience (in HB), what will you say? (It can't really be that two jobs was too hard, you worked only 9 hours a week in the other, and did a very short time in HB anyway!)

[newmodarmy]

Good point. Prepare your answer before you go. Do not criticise / blame your last supervisor. 

[abbeylee90]

Well slightly over it a 20 hours contract as most retail places are but may offer more hopefully there will be over time.

 

Armed forces sounds good idea 

[abbeylee90]

HB is not on my Cv

[newmodarmy]

Abbey -HR will know! They may do background checks, including social media! They may read AB!

[Captain2]

'HB is not on my Cv' - but probably on HB's system.

'Armed forces sounds good idea' - but you have to make instant decisions in the Forces - you won't have time to ask your AB friends. 😀

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, your name, National Insurance number etc will be in the HB system, seeing as you have worked for the company before. At the interview, you might be asked if you will be more committed to the job this time ... oh, and maybe asked if you will manage to work on the tills.

[newmodarmy]

Abbey ... I would not pursue the armed forces idea given your issues including learning difficulties. Pegasus may not know your back history.

[newmodarmy]

Although I would not be surprised if  pegasus knows more about Abbey  than they are making out.

[abbeylee90]

I'll I was ill and I will be committed this time.

Didn't think about armed forces

[Canary42]

Armed Forces is a definite no-no in my experience (admitedly decades ago) - i'm frightened they'll chew you up and spit you out.

 

Take care.
