A question about : The Full Monty Dance Troup

Dear All,

Having highjacked poor old Truegho's thread for long enough, I've now decided to start my own one. I thought The Full Monty was a good enough place to start as I expect the posts will be varied and hope that everyone will join in with the spirit of our previous line up.

A question about : Job hunting

I would like to thank everyone for their advice. I am pleased to report that I completed another 3 applications last night and I will post them tomorrow.
I have joined and signed up to two temp agencies online.

I am really hopeful now that in a few weeks I might see some progress on interviews.

Thanks again for your assistance and I will keep you updated.

A question about : Chance for job at KFC

I have been given the chance to have a job at KFC, on a zero-hours contract, but the problem is that the restaurant I will be working at is 10 miles from where I live and the buses do not run after 11:30pm and I will be working til 12:00am I can get a taxi for Ј30 but that is gonna be a big chunk of my wages gone on taxis, I was wondering if there is any other way I could get home, besides walking

Also are zero-hours contracts ok, I mean are they a good thing to take

A question about : daily signing at jobcentre

A question about : School closed. You have to make the time up in holidays!

Hi all,

Someone I know works for a primary school. Today and yesterday the school has been closed because of the weather, they have been told that because they are off they have to make the time up during the summer holiday, or they can try and come in if they don't want to do that.

Doesn't seem right to me, I know two other people that work at different schools who when asked have never heard of this policy.

What are your thoughts?

A question about : Suspended from work, and I'm innocent.

A question about : HMRC AO job Washington Waterview Park

Has anybody on here applied for the HMRC AO jobs at waterview park in Washington?

I've had an interview on the 19th January and have received some feedback.

Also, does anybody know what the interview is marked out of for HMRC jobs?

A question about : City workers salaries

What do people make of them getting tens of thousands in bonuses?

Really they don't work any harder than many nurses or charity workers for example, so it could be seen as pure greed rather than healthy rewards.
