Good luck and when you get the job see you for some ales in the Calder Valley!I have an interview next week for a job in Leeds. I am already aware of the fact that they are looking to promote someone from within their own team, so I am not expecting an offer... Yet I can't help thinking "what if..."It would bring my work life balance a little closer to where I would like it to be that's for sure.
Here is all this support and I hadn't popped in
Thanks everyone - we will see what happens. I went to see my old boss today for some tips (he is the equivalent of one of the panel so has experience on the other side). He seemed very positive so you never know.
As some clever bugger once said - "it's not getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got" - that's what makes you contented.
I'm not overly fond of my job, but it's paying the bills and lets me get out and about on my days off. At the moment I'm sat doing nowt but type this and listening to old northern soul stuff on youtube...
Got offered a job in Leeds
But not the right offer at the current timeI have just rang the man and turned it down. That was tough - making big life affecting decisions is so tough!
Absolutely worth going for it though. Aside from the interview experience, and getting to meet the right people in the right places, I have information which will help me to negotiate a promotion locally - I was under the impression it was something that it wasn't possible for them to do but apparently notWe will see.
Some very good posts on this threads, seems like quite a few like minded folk out there. Just moved to Scotland to be with the girlfriend, good hills and the love of a good woman
As of thursday im going to be starting a work-experience placement for a year.
Alongside my part time job at sainsburys i'll be doing 53.5 hours a week in total.
The placement isnt paid for either.
Not sure how the hell im going to fit running in anymore. Especially when I'll have to leave the office at the placement and head straight for Sainburys.
As of next year im ditching 1 of my college subjects in order to do a BTEC in Outdoor education to boost my chances of getting into uni. A big choice as it means commuting to somewhere every week from Manchester for 1 day to study once again at level 2 (GCSE level) and also means i have to drop a more academic lesson (politics) so ive had my cake and eaten it and committed myself to Outdoor work by the looks of things. Still got RE, German and History as a back up though

When does the benefit of having employment get outweighed by the misery of the job?
