Maybe that other job is to good to be true aswell 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you're leaping around again! What does 'that other job' mean?  Is it another warehouse one? if so, you could be pinning your hopes on that, and  you might not get it, you might not like it, you might not be able to do it. I'm all for being hopeful, but ...

[abbeylee90]

Mean one I had a call about from agency

Which other job may be  'too good to be true' ? If you mean the Production role in your question it sounds challenging compared with your experience and yet it pays only just above minimum wage.

You can't take a job that hasn't been offered to you, they asked you to come for an interview

Write down everything you need to say and take it in with you, otherwise you may forget something important 

[abbeylee90]

This one yes one with agency potentially 

[Prudie]

If this is the same agency that will know your recent record and length of employment at the warehouse, dental reception, shop work, carehome cleaning jobs etc they should never have sent you this to consider. It's quite unfair. Have you actually read what's expected?

[abbeylee90]

Not this I've posted anything warehouse one closer to home and I've never spoken to this agency before 

[newmodarmy]

^ sorry abbey but that doesn't make sense to me. Can you try again and check what you've typed before you press submit?

from an agency regarding a position in a warehouse with abit of manual work and admin in it and half hour away from my home they passing my cv to thier client.from an agency regarding a position in a warehouse with abit of manual work and admin in it and half hour away from my home they passing my cv to thier client. That what I mean 

[abbeylee90]

Sorry no idea why it posted twice in same paragraph 

[newmodarmy]

Thanks.  So it's early days then- the new warehouse company may or may not want to interview you.

[abbeylee90]

That's it don't know with agency if they will interview you or call you straight in 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, would you go straight to that new warehouse job if they took you on... without an interview, without you finding out anything about the company? I'd like to know a bit more before starting, especially in your case where you don't have a wealth of experience to call on. Your last warehouse post didn't work out well, so the more you knew beforehand, the better. 

[abbeylee90]

Hopefully I would have an interview 

[newmodarmy]

So you don't know whether you even want the agency to put you forward for a job that you wonder if it's too good to be true because it's full time and gives you a mix of warehouse work and admin and is fairly close to home. 

If the job sounds good let the agency put you forward and see what happens. if you get an interview you'll have chance to find out even more about the job then.  

I don't see the point of asking us about a role you don't yet know enough about and which you haven't even applied to or been nominated for interview/consideration.

If you're worrying about the job now then maybe deep down you know it's not the job for you.  

 

[abbeylee90]

I do want it and signed with agency so they called me. I'm always very nervous about a new career.

[Moorea7]

Are you due back at the laundry today, Abbey?

[abbeylee90]

Yes. Do I take care home off my CV now?
