After being made redundant in February and having to take a lower paid job (barman at butlins) I recieved a letter this morning, 'Iam pleased to comfirm our offer of employment'

I feel like a massive load has been lifted from me. The job is worth at least 25k a year which is what i am use to, and the company is, as it stands very solvent. I am/was under-qualified for the vacancy but i think its my experience that has got me in.

Goes to show its not all bad out there and there are companies surviving and even profiting in the 'credit crunch'.

Roll on Monday

 

Good to hear some good news..... I start my new job on 3rd August

 

Well done!

 

Well done, I remember getting laid off and having to take a job I really hated just to make do. So glad I'm back doing the job I enjoy

 

Welldone mate. There are always jobs out there, it may take time to find them, but they are there.

 

Cheers chaps

Only 2 shifts left in the butlins bubble

 

Best of luck with the new job

 

nice one mate, wish i had your luck... ive been out since april and i just cant find anything that pays the money i need to get by. a mim wage job is just not enough for me to get my bills paid..

good luck in your new role mate all the same

 

Yeah i know, but it was better than the dole could offer and i hate sitting around doing nothing.

All the best in your hunt too

 

congrats m8, I know exactly how you felt being recently redundant myself, it is tough out there currently.

It is good news that people are still employing and there is always light at the end of the tunnel :-)

 

Well done fella.

Jobs seem to be like buses with me. Nothing for ages then a couple opportunities come at once.

Start @ Corus on a government funded apprenticehip in Sept and also got a thing going with a DJ night too.

Will struggle like hell on the ££ to start with but nothing worse than what I'm doing now.

 

Well Done!

Glad to hear a good news story rather than doom & gloom

 

Yes, well done indeed! I was made redundant in April and am now getting bored of DIY, cleaning the car, mowing the lawn, pushing a hoover around, calling recruitment consultants and surfing the web...

Interviews were quite thick on the ground up until a couple of weeks ago, but since I've come back from a week's holiday everyone else seems to now have gone off on one! Very quiet right now.

Previously worked in high-value IT/Telecoms sales so I knew that purchasing decisions were taking much longer than usual "in the current economic climate", if happening at all - and the same seems to be happening for recruitment... everything is just taking a huge amount of time - especially when I've also got a "high value" six-figure price tag.

There's a few things slowly happening right now, but I'm quietly hopeful that I'll be able to sign-off the "rock and roll" in the not too distant and get back in to the real world - we'll see.

We're expecting our first child in December, so Mrs Shades will stop work towards the end of October - and I'm REALLY focused on being in full time employment by then.

Anyway - well done, and good luck to all of those that are in my boat - looking hard but getting bored of not working!

well done on the job

I recently qualified from uni and now looking for job applied for loads not even got an interview yet I cant get dole or job seekers because husband works but still have to sign on fortnightly to get my stamp sorted

 

Well done mate. All the best with it!

 

Good on you, good luck!

 

Thanx all for the good luck messaages

My last shift in the 'Butlins bubble' tonight, then i'm free

 

Congrats, and best of luck with the new job.

 

Nice to hear your good news,best of luck in the new job.

Les

 

Your more than welcome to pop by my house if you're in the area mate.

 

Cheers COB, where do you dj at? Might pop along to that one nite

 

First one is next Friday (31st) July mate. Bar Matrix in Scunthorpe.

Then hopefully a couple more provisionally lined up 14th (fri) and 29th (sat) August.

Alternatively, I'm home most days sponging all others members taxes (well till September).

 

Great work b13bat


I found out I am being made redundant today,no warning just handed a letter as I was leaving work. 33 of us gone

Went to the local job centre a minute ago and it was like an auditon for shamelss, kids standing outside can of fosters in one hand *** in the other discussing what to spend their crisis loans on

 

Welcome to my world.

It's happening more and more now. Maybe if it happens to some of the folk on here who were so quick to jump down my throat, it may make them realise the situation

Best of luck anyways KOT, least you have your health

 

Sorry to hear that KOT. What do you do for a living?

Good luck finding something else..... hope something comes along quickly for you!

Audition for Shameless would be an overly flattering description for our local job centre! Wayne and Waynetta slob would get turfed out for being too classy for the joint. Can you imagine working there?!?!?

 

Yeah, i remember the threads well, to them all now




Thanx mate

Thats how it happened to me mate, seems like standard practice

As for 'job centers', i had 3 visits, chavvy little skets everywhere and the punters ain't much better

Hope you get it sorted soon KOT
