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.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, will any of your references back up that you work well in fast-paced environments, have a strong attention to detail and have a strong work ethic? 

[naomi24]

I think the confusion comes because abbey has several questions fired at her at the same time.

[Neveracrossword]

That's true sometimes, Naomi - but my recent (charity shop/the job is daunting...) chat was at a point where nothing else was being asked. 

[newmodarmy]

There's an elemnt of that Naomi, but I'm referring primarily to the lazy childlike writing style and failure to show attention to detail with posts. Yes, abbey has a lot of questions fired at her but this is partly because her previous answers are unclear and partly because she keeps introducing different aspects- in this thread we've covered her existing job, the warehouse/forklift job, the charity shop role and now another new job she is considering applying for.

[THECORBYLOON]

It might improve clarity if ABBEY copied and pasted the question or at least the gist of it, when responding to it.

[naomi24]

It's a bit hit and miss but we manage.

[abbeylee90]

Yes the job I went for today seemed daunting so I'm undecided and starting volunteering in charity shop Monday.

I just applied for warehouse Operative job.

Do you have both of these qualities?

Are you, and are you able to put work before your social life?

I'll try my best.

[newmodarmy]

If they are the required skills/competences then you'll need to prepare for the application process by thinking of examples that evidence your experience and abilities in each of these areas.

[DDIL]

I thought you were let go from your last warehouse job because you failed the probation period.

[naomi24]

NMA, I think abbey said no experience is necessary.  

[newmodarmy]

I disagree- maybe experience in a warehouse is not listed as an essential requirement but you need to show you have the required skills they've listed.

[abbeylee90]

DIDL I found out because they brought an ex employee back.

[abbeylee90]

Hope advert is geniue.

[DDIL]

Your warehouse manager stated you lacked energy.

[abbeylee90]

Yes he was a bully, who would say to me they're getting rid of me to bring someone else back.

[DDIL]

Of course 

[newmodarmy]

Or maybe they were bringing someone back because they had decided you to let you go as you were not up to the role in their view.
