Paid Work Woes

Pandoren

I'll start the thread by saying I'm skint. I still live with my parents and I'm sort of in debt to them now...

I picked up an application form today for a Sunday job at the local supermarket... but she said it was working the tills and I think having to interact with the public for six hours a week is my idea of hell. I already work three voluntary jobs where I don't really interact with the public but also don't really interact with my own coworkers! When I did work experience at a shop when I was at school, I did my best to avoid everybody.

There's also the awkward question "Please account for any periods of non-employment" and other than the voluntary stuff, I've never been employed- I left college at 18 and have spent 7 useless years at home. Frown

Sometimes I think I'll never be employed. Frown

  • I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so when I say "supermarket" I mean a smaller shop belonging to a supermarket chain, so I think it is tills or nothing with regards to this particular vacancy and there aren't really likely to be any others.

    As for the link you provided, it starts off by saying "In England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales there are careers services" and then completely fails to mention anywhere in England. I guess if you are English, they expect you to Google it.
