doh... it appears that the job I've been doing required mere box ticker types able to repeat the phrase 'yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir' (madam actually) and ignore the facts that the plans decided upon for the project had zero chance of achieving anything close to the targets set for the project, and bore no relation to the best practice methods laid out in the training they paid for me to go on.:rolleyes:

suffice it to say that I stuck to my guns, and have just been informed that as a result my services are no longer required:facepalm:

still, they've given me a weeks gardening leave, and I reckon I've got around 5 days holiday due as well, so I should end up with a full months pay this month for half a months work, and I reckon I've now saved up enough to kick the solar water heating business I'd been aiming to set up since training for it last year, so it's not all bad.:cool:

tbf the entire project was a complete nightmare from start to finish, and I'd been thinking about quitting for most of the last 2 months anyway, so I'm only slightly annoyed that I let them beat me to the punchline.

onward and upward and all that...:hmm:

eta... erm arse, wrong thread
 
I need a VB and SQL programer/dev with min 2-3 years exp. Experience of working in Retail would be a plus, as would project management skills. Central London based. Starts as soon as possible, PM me for more details, formal spec etc
 
Is this the jobseeker's thread, then?

I've been out of work for longer than I want to think about :/

Thinking of trying further afield. Manchester or Newcastle maybe.

Yeah I think that's probably unlawfull under age discrimination laws. Since there's no reason an older person couldn't do it. Unless there's some wierd exemption (which I can't see right now) good luck with the tirbunal... or maybe not :)

Yep, probably.
 
Future Jobs Fund is a DWP scheme primarily for young people who've been out of work for 6 months or more (although in some parts of the country FJF is available to all who've been unemployed for 6 months+, depending on levels of unemployment, indices of deprivation etc).

Recruitment is done through Job Centres, who check to see if the applicant is eligible first. The "jobs" last for 6 months only, have to include some element of training and job preparation and are supposed to have an element of community benefit.
 
This isn't a definite, but in theory, my job may be available for one day a week from September for 1 year. It's an admin job in an adult ed college. Very easy work, nice colleagues, office with view of sky, clouds and the london eye :cool: My work are currently convinced it will be really hard to find someone willing to work just 1 day a week, so am just wondering if anyone on here would potentially be interested. Just to get an idea.....
