You take the low hours and work your way up!

smack some people, honestly no

That is not the attitude to have, that won`t help you in getting a job at all.

Love to see you in an interview lol smile


i have a job, always have worked in big companys, and brought up 3 kids and cannot afford to take a drop in hours!
yes i agree, take low hours and take the chance of working upto more
but i am not in a position to drop hours on the chance that i 'Might' get more in the future.

i'm sure there is lot of people who would love a new job but wouldn't take a drop in hours to do so...would you?

but its fab for someone who doesn't have a job...[/quote]

Lol, ok, so your willing to tarnish your record by refusing a job instead?

Well good luck to you, you won`t get far with that attitude though, look at it from the employers point of view wink
At least you are working though, you make moi proud smile

Oh, and no i would`nt take a drop in hours, i`m ALWAYS working, workaholic one may call it, i have an expensive hobby to finance smile

why would i tarnish my record?
at the interview i was asked what the minimum hours i would be able to accept as they needed to know rather than offer a contract that wouldn't suit someone, saves them time, also they can offer to someone else...

and why on earth would i drop a lot of hours to be then left in position where i couldn't feed my children or pay my bills?

would you (honestly) take a big drop in pay to take a chance that you could get more sometime in the future, but then struggle now to pay your bills, feed your family etc?

everybody has different circumstances.

Dude, i heard there was something called WORKING tax credits for peeps like you, whoever hands those out will up your wages.

What i mean by tarnish your record is your name will now be on file for that company, when a future job comes up you WON`T be included because you will be looked upon as not willing to work small hours.
Strike 1, your not suitable.
Someone who is willing to work low hours will come 1st.
I`m not having a go i`m telling you how it is.
Good luck on your search.

its really dosn't matter what kids do or don't do,
this was about originally about if anyone would take a big drop in hours on the 'chance' that they may be increased in the future...which most people would not leave one job to go to another if it meant taking a drop of almost 60% weekly hours/wages

Good luck to everyone who applied smile
