been offered work but!
« on: 04 January 2012, 13:18:09 »

They offered me a hourly rate when they text me. then when i rang offered me 2 quid an hr less. reckon they cam get an east European for less. they might get some useless foreigner for less but cost them more to put it right. so i told him to break off and put the phone down.  :)

As the old adage goes 'you gets what you pays for'. Just wait for them to call you to fix it  ;)

I've had 2 offers so far today. 1 about 2 hrs drive but they won't pay petrol allowance so not worth my while.

No worry Richie, maybe next time! They will be faced by the cheapest mostly the shitest. I do say it as an East European although looked the map we believe that we are in the middle of Europe... :-X

Consider yourself lucky Rich. I`ve been searching for quite some time, even travelled as far as Orpington in Kent (from Bristol) just for a sodding interview

SWMBO now works part time in the bakery of a local Asda (The Asda if you're a Scouser ;))just a couple of miles away, on minimum wage. But the job centre thought it was OK to send her miles away for interviews for jobs also on minimum wage. She's got her own car & her wage is additional to mine, but as you say, if you'd to get there by the none existant public transport it'd hardly be worth working there - both cost & time wise.
