short meet

well that wa interesting.  apparently the jc contracts you to a4e to do 3 job apps a week. and now you have to go.in once a week to.do your job search where you have to show you can do a job search.   she said was thers anything i learned from the application  module i said.no.. because i have done it 4 times before.

i did say i could do a little it about interviews only to get practice.    but only to cover.my back  and shut her up.  she said the same crap tht she got lots.of people.jobs with bigger gaps.  i told her what i dd for job search. she thougt i only.did. emails. not spec letters etc.  the same crap. 

Let me get this right

She was sent on a work experience at this place a few years ago,  so she was 15 at that time.. now forgive me but dont apprenticeships mean you arent earning anything?... so how did a4e get her the apprenticeship..

North-East financial adviser Carterbar has taken on seventeen-year-old Ashley Kane as its first ever apprentice. Carterbar, which is based on the Belasis Business Park, in Billingham, Teesside, says that it was impressed with the teenager when she did work experience and was determined to invite her back.

Ashley, from Billingham, has been given a six month apprenticeship as an administrative  assistant, as part of a programme run by the A4e organisation. During her time with Carterbar, she will not only been given training in administrative skills but will also study for a NVQ Level 2 in administration.

Carterbar Managing Director Arthur Dornan said: “Ashley impressed us when she came for work experience a couple of years ago. It does not matter to us that she does not have a background in financial services. Our philosophy has always been that a person’s attitude is the most important thing about them. We can train them in how to do the job. Ashley’s attitude is excellent. Our view has always been that people can achieve success if they have the right attitude.”

Ashley said: “Although I was at college, I was more interested in the idea of learning on the job which is why I liked the idea of an apprenticeship. Administration appeals to me because it can be applied in all sorts of jobs. I am really enjoying my time at Carterbar.”

Carterbar's services include advice on investments, pensions, mortgages, life assurance, income protection and medical cover.

Change

Monday, a4e phoned to change my interview time from 1.30 to 12.15. today a4e phoned checking that my time is 1.30 tomorrow. But they had already changed it or the advisor did.. seems like they havent got a clue.




If i was a cynic.. i would have thought it was just to find a reason to kick me off. If i go at 1.30 and my appointment was 12.15 obviously i must not be looking for work so sanction time..  

interesting

apparently since i am.on the work program the jc will not do a job search for you. but isnt that their job

First cv module

I have done this particular thing 4 times now.  I go in and i am early and waited for the others there were 6 other people.. All men..who all but me wanted warehouse, forklift truck.   I am an administrator.  The module was so boring, i could have done it in 5 mins.  Desirable, essential job needs and hidden.   How to fill in an application form.

It was useless..  as there were no jobs.
