Hey guys, just need a little help

I was on here last year asking around for jobs and now I finally have an interview for a job tomorrow

Its a cleaning job and all though its not something I want to do long term its better than nothing as its really hard to get a job these days.



The thing is Im an artist (not the tommy lee type) but a painter/drawer and this makes it even harder getting jobs because nobody wants an artist these days (boo hoo) anyway getting to the point I need some interview tips and someway of relating arty/creative work and cleaning and any other interview tips. Any help will be great thanks again Dan

Be positive but not too cocky !

Be polite but not too gushing

Be punctual but not too early

But most of all be yourself !!!!!



Good luck fella its tough out there !!!



Let us know how you get on.

Thanks mate, ile be letting you know how things go tomorrow

fingers crossed lol

Good luck Dan nice to see people trying to get a job even if it is not the job they want.

Thanks

Try to relax, be friendly, try to be positive and thank the interviewer at the end..



Good Luck Dan, let us know how you get on,

Thanks

will let you know how I get on tomorrow, pretty nervous thinking bout it already lol Been using youtube for interview tips all night lol

Something along the lines of you take pride in your artwork, etc, and that would translate across into this job?



Good luck mate.

Thanks mate

good luck Dan ,just landed myself a job after being unemployed for nearly a year . its hard out there.

Thanks, yer its really hard, 6 months now for me

hate it, you know the feeling when you want those nice pair of jeans from topman and you can't afford them lol Every day lol ( dont look in shop windows when your unemployed it hurts

) lol gadda keep my chin up though lol

Best of luck mate,hope you do well.Lots of people out there doing things they don't like ,simply because there's sod all else.

Lots of people not looking either because they are quite happy to Sponge up the benefits.

Hope it goes well.

Good luck Dan - I was out of work 3 months last year - know how you feel - got a job for 6 months initially and they made it permanent in December - like the others have said be yourself, be honest, slightly early and POLITE. I know I am one of the lucky ones, but I do believe things happen for a reason.

Good luck fella and well done for going for any job rather than the lazy gits who sponge off the rest of us week in week out, i will be genuinely thinking about you pal!!

Failing that the RAF are recruiting big time at present for the RAF regiment!! see the world for free

Hey folks, just had the interview and it went ok and think I have a good shot at this cleaning job. The only downfall is that it's part time and Im only going to be earning two pound extra than I get now

Im sounding greedy now but I need money to live and when you study for 6 years after school and eventually earning a B.A HONS degree it makes you feel like you have been wasting your time

I sound greedy now and I do feel guilty walking into the job centre every two weeks but I was after a full time job with a bit more money. Even if it isn't something I studied for. If anybody has any FULL TIME jobs out their they know of plz messege me. I NEED WORK LOL

Fair play to you mate for going for the job. I wouldn’t feel guilty at all, you obviously have a good work ethic and just want to earn some brass.



Even if they offer you the job, I am sure people would understand if you turned it down. The extra £2.00 that you would earn wouldn’t cover your travel costs I presume.



Hope something crops up soon.

Thanks dude glad people understand

do you have a driving licence

Take the positives out of it mate.At least youv'e had some practice with your interview technique,and will be that much more prepared for when the next opportunity arises.

Good Luck and keep plugging away.

No lol

Yer trying to keep my chin up

and like you say Ive had some more interview practice now

ganna keep plugging away

Unlucky fella but never ever feel guilty over not getting a position my friend, never ever, the will to try puts you way ahead of thousands of scroats who cant even be bothered mate.

As for your degree again you should be proud of it so wave it as your flag pal!!



Like I said try the RAF regiment mate, with a degree your straight into officer training, company range rover da da da ... fitness , travel , decent wage what more could you want at your age!!!

go have a chat with them you cant loose anything

Might be worth asking whether you qualify for tax credits on the basis that you are working part time for a low wage? Not sure but worth a try.

ASDA

Well, apart from your life, of course.
