there've been some cracking jobs on this thread, i hope people are applying for them.

No doubt there are people applying for them. Probably not because of this thread though.

Sadly I'm unqualified to do so. I'd quite like a part time job, local to Herne Hill/Brixton area, that doesn't require too much stress working with nice, caring people, that pays London living wage, have you got anything like that?

yeh. well, i'd hope some urbanites went for them too.

Would you like us all to be archivists so that we would have more time to post on urban?

Primary school teacher needed for a small Scottish village - scoraig.com

It is very, very, pretty up there, but, note, it is a bit of a walk from the nearest road.

I know someone who might be interested in working in a bookies.

I'd have thought most will have vacancies fairly often - a look at local shop windows (local to where friend is) and the companies' websites may be worthwhile.

Not convinced it's a great job to be honest - think there is someone on here who used to post on the 'work frustrations' thread about the joys of being in sole charge of a shop, all the hassles that go with handling cash, and dealing with pissed off customers whose bet (either the traditional sort or pouring money in to machines) didn't pay off...

found this article online while looking for something else on the subject.

i'm not trying to be moralistic about gambling or anything like that - just that it occurred to me a long time ago that if the bookies didn't fairly consistently make more money out of it than the punters, then they wouldn't bother.

and i'm not the only one to wonder why there are most betting shops in the poorest areas...

I'm not convinced that many jobs are all that great, depends what you like. I only wanted to know where that job was... I had hoped to be encouraging to someone who enjoys gambling on the horsies and knows what the inside of a bookies looks like. Any other jobs you would like me to put them off?

Tempted to write something about grandmas, eggs and sucking. Never mind.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

that's very true...

Tempted to write something about grandmas, eggs and sucking. Never mind.

i refer you to my standard t&c of posting (available on request) - clause 4.3 says i may be stating the obvious...



srsly, if they already know the potential downsides, then go for it. but too many people go in to jobs and then find out the reality...

as i say, from my job hunting attempts, there seem to be fairly regular vacancies in this line of work.

 

[friendofdorothy]

I'm very pissed off with work. Seriously considering looking for a new one, as opposed to half heartedly keeping an eye out for something new.

I want a low stress, low(ish) skilled, part-time job in a caring environment eg clinics, residential homes, charities. Would consider a library. or a nice business maybe. In South London, near Brixton would be good. Has to be with nice people in a good environment. LLW would be good, as I earn just above minimum now. Anyone hear anything let me know.

My stepdaughter is working for them: she's very positive about the employment environment there.

Mind you, her last employer was C(r)apita, so that could be to damn it with faint praise
