[zzxxee]

hey ho back to the drawing board anyone haveing as much luck as me job hunting ?

[SazzyC0]

Sounds pretty much the same as my situation, I have lost count of how many I have applied for! I think you just have to try and stay positive :)

[zzxxee]

cheers sazzy trying to be positive but its very hard

I'm not as confident as i was 8 weeks ago when we went into the collective consultation and we were all told the depts were leaving debs. 750 people involved but not many have found jobs yet. we finish 19th august and hopefully after some good interviews and assessments i will have found something, I've learnt to widen my scope though

Sorry to hear of your troubles, girls.

Things aren't much better here, they've had a cost review meeting and decided 31 people have gotta go.

They gonna accept voluntaries first, thing is no one is volunteering!

Hiya z,
it's a lot harder out there now z, just keep plugging away & don't give up you lot! xxx

[zzxxee]

cheers sachs hope everyone has a bit of luck soon

[dot.haukes]

they have to put you in a jobs at risk situation and then the collective consultation if it is over 20 people, it's so long winded. check out the ACAS website or ring 08457474747 the are very good

Where I worked in BT they are offering people 3 months pay to take a year-long holiday......

[mrs.chappie]

Sorry to hear that, zzxxee. Hope you have better luck with your next interview.

Craft, I used to work for BT back in the 70's and 80's. I was a telephonist in the telephone exchange.

Sorry about that zzxxxee. Better luck next time. What kind of job are you looking for?

[zzxxee]

care work mainly i have worked with dementia residents in residential and nurseing settings
am signing on with a care agency on fri and am waiting to here back from one or two places so its not all bad totterdown

[Totterdown]

I'm sure the agency would take you on. It could be that if you work with themfor a while and you like it, the agency might offer you a permanant job with them. Good luck on Friday. Keep plugging away, something will turn up.
