and the search goes on...

ok so today's tuesday and that means that i've got a TMI coming...should be below in a bit i promise. but also because today's tuesday i had 3 (count them one, two, three) interviews today
interview #1
soll leisure
duty manager position
£15000 pa
i have worked for soll before and although i didn't feel as though they were utilising me to my full potential and left leisure as a result, i actually enjoyed working there. although i was on more money then than they are offering me now...what's that about?
the actual interview went pretty well and i was fairly happy with it. i'll find out tomorrow as to if they want to offer it to me or not. one of the people interviewing me said that i was very brave to come back into a company that i'd left 18 months beforehand as they know all about me, and so the interview was more about seeing how i'd developed since then. i thought she was a little insulting with that

interview #2
helphire (or is it hirehelp)
driver
£5.50 p/h
i got offered this job on the spot, said i'd think about it because i had a few other things in the works for this week, but if i am going to take it i can start on monday. this job basically means i'll be driving cars from the office to customers through the local area (about 4 or 5 counties) nice and easy work, the sort of thing i could do with one had tied behind my back, the sort of thing that you can switch off and think of other things instead...
we shall see

interview #3
bourton mill
club manager
£15000 pa plus bonuses
wasn't overly impressed by this position, the club was very small and uninteresting, the money is poor considering the location (centre of oxford, and i really do mean the centre of oxford, it's just above the big TSB on the corner...for those of you who know the place) the club istelf is over 3 floors and smelt of sweaty people (understandable i guess) the guy who did my interview and who would be my manager was late for my interview (i guess that's his perogative) and in general i didn't like the interview and i wasn't really that comfortable there, it's not what i want to do or where i'd like to work.

the following is an email regarding an interview i went to about 3 weeks ago now, i got this email today (but ian has been away sick, so that's ok i guess)
this was the job that i went to, had the sit down chat with them and then had to do 2 exam type things as well...the one that i had a good feeling about because they'd been positive about the results form the tests.

Hi Pete

I have just had an email from Travelodge.

Mate, its not good news I'm afraid. Like I said to you over the phone they were very impressed with your test results, being the best they had seen. Unfortunately, in a way that has hindered you. Their feedback was that they were concerned that you were too good for the role and would therefore not stay in the role. They also interviewed an internal candidate and decided it was a safer bet to go with them.

Really sorry mate.

I will keep looking for other roles for you.

All the best

Ian

how can you be too good for a job? i understand that you can be over qualified and that, but if it's something you'd like to try surely it doesn't matter if you're too good?
anyway i was a little miffed by this email, as this was the one that i had got the best feeling about.

no news about the volunteer stuff yet, but that's ok i'm not expecting to hear anything this week.

right i guess 'd better go and have a look at wha tthe TMI questions are for this week
laters peeps
