Lies doug I worked for an agency back when I was 16 - 6 years ago and got ?5.50 back then As I said the other day anyone who struggles to get a job needs to look at themselves as opposed blaming everyone else I also went to an agency last summer and was offered a job - which I turned down- paying ?8. I also got my previous job - part time whilst i was a student -through an agency paying ?7 an hour Therefore given the 3 times I have approached agencies I have been paid more than minimum wage I have to say your post is ill informed and factually incorrect If you go on like you do on here, im not surprised you dont get offered decent jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have worked in the past for agencies doing both unskilled manual labour for which you got paid poorly and more skilled technical work where you got half decent money. Do all agencies pay you holiday pay nowadays ?, in the past only certain agencies paid holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT A ****ING JOKE And what makes you worth more doug? simply earning it in the past doesnt, tbh you sound like one of these civil servant/council types who are overpaid and underperform and dont like the fact your jobs are being turned into what they should b The fact is in the current climate very few companies offer 9-5 as core hours, most big companies expect staff to work various shifts and shift premiums do not kick in until your into the early hours Tbh Doug maybe you should consider why none of the higher paying jobs want you as opposed to blaming everyone else for it. I was job hunting last year and its really not hard at all as long as you dont think the world owes you something Maybe instead of spending your days on here and getting ****ed you should spend it working on your CV and actively seeking employment as opposed to sending off your CV and expecting people to come to you I still have a look at the job papers most week and there is no shortage of decent jobs for those who want them I know someone who recently was made redundant and had a new job sorted before they even left and was truly quids in, why? because they actually looked for work and realised people didnt owe them something Your rants on here about labour say it all to me, your too used to being overpaid whilst underperforming, you need to move on doug and realise this otherwise you will never find a job paying you more again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makween Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Agencies are good at what they do, there's no denying that temps get a raw deal but you don't go into a job as a temp without knowing that. Once you've got a job, be it permanent or temporary, it's up to you to impress the employer. Blaming everyone else doesn't solve anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales, Quality, experience, knowledge etc etc As for management experience, again open to interpretation, formal manager? managed your own targets etc etc I personally have never worked in a retail managers role, but If i was inclined Im pretty sure I could bluff my experience to that job description - I wouldnt though as I never want to work in sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I helped out in a friends Newsagent for a day so thats the retail sales experience. He also went out for his lunch for half an hour and left me on my own, so I was effectively the Manager. There was a free Italia '90 pullout in the Evening News that day so we sold out in record time, meeting my targets. When do I start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
