Wednesday's child is full of woe
According to the plan Wednesday is when I update on my progress(!) in the job hunt.
The reason I have not updated on this is because there has been damn-all progress.
My local Subway sandwich shop had a help wanted sign in the window. Nobody wants to give me a lab job so I thought I'd try something casual just to bring in some cash.
I asked in the shop if they had application forms or wanted resumes.
A resume highlighting my basic food hygiene certificate and food science/microbiology background was handed over the next day.
I waited.
Two weeks later and a couple of visits to the shop I finally speak to the manager again. It's taken a couple of visits because none of the staff speak English as a first language.
Me: Hello, I gave you a copy of my resume a couple of weeks ago, to apply for the job.
The manager: Yes....
Me: and I haven't heard anything.
The manager: I sent all the resumes to the owner last Friday.
Me: I see.
The manager: so if he has not contacted you, he must not be wanting you.
Me: ok, thanks anyway.
Not qualified to make sandwiches.
Bit depressing, I can tell you.

they wouldn't hire you because they know you'd be gone as soon as you could...and you'd probably also know your rights and shit.
for casual work you'd do really well at a video shop.
Have you tried heavy manufacturing? They use lab people for testing etc
SJ- thanks
