Title: Employing from the job centre
Post by: Dean Taberner on October 18, 2011, 06:06:37 pm
Hi,

Has anybody done this? And if so what results have you had?

I've currently got a job advertised there and I eagerly await the results,

http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk/detailjob.aspx?sessionid=56cfc6b5-0f2e-48db-ad1a-8f86501b9613&pid=1&j=LTS/16367

They have made a mistake on the hrs but that will be changed tomorrow.

Thanks,

Dean

Clean driving license is a must to start as they usually obtain speeding tickets whilst working for me rushing in between towns.
