What Do I Do About This Job?

[abbeylee90]

Sorry I know I got a thread about this but won't let me reply anymore. At the moment I'm really in doubt got loads of pros and cons 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, that's the info you gave us before - the info that prompted several of us to remark that the job seemed too much for you. And you didn't sound very enthusiastic anyway, saying a 'better job' had just come up.

So it a waste of time if I go to the interview?

[newmodarmy]

I have real doubts that you will be able to adapt to full time work after such a long gap, especially if it's a challenging role where you have to learn new skills. I doubt you'd get this job but so long as you can fit the interview in around your Selco shift you may find the interview will give you some useful interview practice and will give you an idea of whether jobs like this are suitable for you.

However I think the more basic warehouse job looks more feasible for you, provided you really can do pallet building and have the physical attributes. Maybe it's better to just focus on that job application.

Given your previous issues I would doubt if you could meet all the requirements of the job description and duties and initiative the job entails

[abbeylee90]

Yes I can as Interview at 1.30.

I'll go for the practise then.

[abbeylee90]

Interview went well they will ring to go in for a trial day if successful after interviews complete.

[Hazlinny]

That was quick, Abbey - did they take you through the warehouse to show you the duties?

[abbeylee90]

No will find out if I go for a trial

[abbeylee90]

Biggest thing they said was it's very cold 

[abbeylee90]

Turns out the other one I posted was a hoax

[newmodarmy]

Where did you find a hoax job advert? Was it a spam email?

[abbeylee90]

No indeed because when i go into it now says it doesn't exist and it's happened before in the past.

Was it the Antarctic Survey?🤣

[newmodarmy]

It might have been genuine when posted but the company might have reconsidered in light of th budget changes to Employer NI and minimum wage.

Did the advert ask people to apply to Indeed or to the company directly (in which case it could be a sort of phishing scam/suckers' list exercise)?

[abbeylee90]

I applied just on indeed not through website
