Would It Be A Bad Thing If I Told People I'm Looking For A New Job?

[abbeylee90]

A colleuge said today he think my boss (checkout manager) would be on my side if he knew and I was looking and managers wouldn't care.

You're quite right, DDIL.  Abbey doesn't have anything to lose. 

[newmodarmy]

Except ending up out if the frying pan into the fire in another job she isn't suited to. But a risk worth taking And she might as well improve her chances by preparing properly for a possible competence based interview.

[DDIL]

NMA, IF she gets the job, I have no doubt that a manager will be out to get her and her hours will be reduced!

[abbeylee90]

I haven't even told one of my closest friends about selco and I feel bad. Do I bother now?

[abbeylee90]

DIDL It's fixed shift so can't have hours reduced.

I don't understand why you don't just tell your friends and family the truth. Lying just makes things more difficult.

[abbeylee90]

All my family know

[abbeylee90]

I just didn't want to keep telling people jobs didn't work out for me.

[scorpiojo]

I get that, Abbey, but it's just making your life more difficult if you're pretending to work somewhere else, or pretending to actually go to work.

[abbeylee90]

I am going to work just haven't told them about selco was going to until they dropped my hours.

[scorpiojo]

I know you're going to work, but are you still pretending that you're working more hours?

[abbeylee90]

No but don't see my friends in week for them to know.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you could always go all out to make sure your next job does work out. If it's tough initially, remind yourself of how much you want to be working full-time, earning full- time wages and so on.

[abbeylee90]

But do I tell them I been working in selco a while?

[douglas9401]

Absolutely

[abbeylee90]

Then when I get another job?

[douglas9401]

Yes, make a special point of it, maybe have prosecco when you do.

[DDIL]

Bottomless Douglas?

[abbeylee90]

Why have a prosecco when telling people?

[douglas9401]

It's a lot cheaper than champagne but still fizzy.
