p/t Job offer

Out of the blue a company asked me today if I might be interested in two days a week as a Practice Manager. Money equates to around £25 per hour so not great but at the same time would be steady income.

Work is a walk in the park, all what I can do so does not stretch competency etc. Having an interview tomorrow at 09.30, so send one up for me if you think about it

Break a leg! Or install non-slip flooring, or whatever

Thanks Mary. Ahhh, such a much disputed expression...where it originated from that is.

Non-slip soles with duly shined uppers at the ready

Cant complain at that, enough to cover the bills, then the rest is all gravy!

Had my informal interview, it was an agency for the employer, you know the type, had to get through them first. They didn't bother to forward my details to the practice - and as a consequence the job is now gone.

How did I find out? Well doing some snooping I managed to establish what practice it was, and emailed them directly (never trust an agency is my motto), anyway the upshot from the response was..." I am so sorry, your details were not forwarded to us and we would certainly have wished to formally interview you! Sadly Mr Jones that position was filled yesterday."

Whilst I have some work going on it is simply not enough and was rather hoping that two days a week steady would have taken the pressure off.

Darned recruitment agencies.

This is exactly why Stavros is building a new way for recruitment, bloody complacent bunch they are!

Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that. I guess on the bright side you got confirmation that your CV is good, though? Cold comfort but better than being told "yes, we did get your CV but I'm afraid we were looking for someone with more/less/other qualifications/experience/whatever."
