Sounds a piece of cake.
Why do you ask ?

[abbeyleigh]

I could do the manual work but some if admin I'm weary of

[Tilly2]

The key skills are the important ones to consider. You will be trained in the rest of it.

[lankeela]

Well "Should show initiative and have good problem-solving skills" is a good place to start. If you can't get past that one you are stuffed.

[cashier]

Ability to be flexible, what if you are going to a party?

[abbeyleigh]

I'm flexible for this job but hate where I am now give me to many evenings

[Hazlinny]

Were you not successful with the Warehouse job, Abbey? Is this one similar? You just have to make up your mind if you could confidently carry out the admin side of the job.

[calmck]

Are you good at problem solving on your own. You often ask for advice here. Also how flexible are you. You have posted about issues with work hours and your social life

[abbeyleigh]

I'm stronger on manual work than admin and when I'm use to it. Sometimes problem solving skills are good. I know the working for this hours are perfect

[barry1010]

I don't think it's the job for you, sorry.

[wolf63]

I couldn't do the job. Paperwork and admin I enjoy as well as computer work. Manual work - no, I couldn't do it.

Have you had a job that you were good at and enjoyed?

Remember - your social life and time off should fit around your job. The job is more important than your social life. You do need to get the balance right though!

[barry1010]

It's the problem solving and working under pressure that I think you'd struggle with. You'd be on here asking for advice every 10 minutes.

[abbeyleigh]

Should I go to the interview then?

[barry1010]

You see the problem here, abbey? They need people who are problem solving yet you can't decide whether to attend the interview.

In my view, every interview is experience and practice. Attend the interview and question them about the problem-solving skills, what sort of problems are you likely to encounter?

[Tuvok]

I’ve lost track of how many jobs you’ve had!

You don’t seem to stick at any job for long. That might put of potential employers.

[Hazlinny]

Abbey/ You said you were still at McDonalds - how long have you worked there?

[abbeyleigh]

Been there for a year and these have been for interviews not jobs

[calmck]

Of all the interviews you have mentioned and been to have you been accepted for anyone?

[abbeyleigh]

Yes but couldn't take them as realised bad things about them

[Hazlinny]

Such as, Abbey??
