Apprentice interviews

IMHO Anytime or as early as possible? (The early bird often gets the worm)

I remember going to the Job centre after being made redundant. Just going through the motions to get my dole money for a few weeks - as I intended going freelance anyway.

Filled in the various forms and put 'any' against preferred hours to work and 'any' against the town or whatever.

Not what they apparently wanted on this form. Yet when a staff member had been required to work any hours on any day of the week, and frequently not in my home town.

as required

Reminds me of one I heard from a sixth form careers adviser at a grammar school.

One boy put down his email address as "gingerpubes@..." (hotmail or yahoo or something) (on his UCAS form for university). He was told in no uncertain terms to get a new address.

There was a parents' evening a couple of weeks later, and said careers adviser mentioned it to the boy's father. Father went rather red and said that it was actually *his* email address.....

"At your convenience".

Oh dear...

I have a chronic allergy to mornings and where it matters not, I'll work mid morning till evening but I don't expect other people to rearrange their lives to fit me!

I hope you kicked his butt!

the question was "what time?" not "where?" "

My answer stands. Or would you prefer, at a time convenient for yourself. ffs

what would you do if you see a masonic handshake at an interview ? ....

BONA ...

Nope.

Yes, if you have an apprentice who is good at baking he might bring in cakes.

Tell them to join the police.

The correct reply should equal the arrival time of the first bus/train or whatever

That would be at the convenience of the job applicant. The correct reply would be at the convenience of the prospective employer.

Which translated means "Ha ha ha, I've got a job and you haven't, so beg for one you miserable worm. Ha ha ha, I'm all right Jack."

It should be "never mind the interview, what time do I start?"

B-)

But a very valid comment. No.1 Daughter has a yah-mail address that is perhaps not the best for "formal" use.

Depends upon what they want; a job or a written rejection, to show they were looking for work. I used to get the occasional caller at my factory who simply wanted me to sign a form saying they had applied for a job, rather than actually wanting one.
