Interview on Monday

[thefemalepostie]

Another job has come up at the same delivery office so I have emailed the address they stated on the waiting list email. Had no confirmation that they had received it so will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Keeping everything crossed.

Im a single mum on a 25 hr contract! Its a fantastic job and suits me well. Been there over a year now on rolling 6 month contracts. I always get offered overtime and sometimes i can do it and sometimes i cant. It is so perfect that i can drop my kids at school and pick them up again and do a shift! And you get paid to keep fit. I have noticed there are alot of politics in my office but i just get on with my job and not let it bother me! Dont worry about the weather...once ur soaked thru and your hair is a mess, who cares!!!
Good luck with interview, and I hope u get a good office to work in. x

I have got the job pending security checks.

Can't work out my hours as it was 23.5 hours a week but working 10-4??? I make that 30 hours a week lol. I'm in a minority that I don't want that many hours. 23.5 hours suits me absolutely fine.

Good luck working your hours.

Update on this. I start my induction beginning of December.

Nervous about starting especially so close to Xmas. It really will be a baptism of fire! But pleased that I will have a couple of pay days before Christmas!!!

Thanks everyone for the advice and scare stories!!

Well i guess you are starting at the worse time of year so it will only get lighter than this. Nothing like throwing yourself in at the deep end

The very best of luck, hope it goes well

(dont get pressured into using your own car on delivery)

Don't worry I won't be using my car! I definitely won't be a runner as I won't be coming in hours early. I start at 10. So I will be there at 9.55. I will sometimes do overtime if agreed payment before hand, but I can't go over every day due to family commitments (and I told them this at interview) so will have to cut off as well!

God that we will be glad they've got me won't they! Pmsl

Good luck. I've been working on deliveries for about 6 weeks now. Check out the "advice for newbies" thread as it has lots of top tips.
I was contracted for 15 hours a week but found I was automatically put on a rota covering 5 x days with a 5 hour walk(which always takes me longer) Was dreading having a conversation with management about only working my contracted hours and ensuring I was paid for actual hours worked given all the horror stories on here. Was all psyched up for a battle but blow me they were completely reasonable and approachable!!!!!!! It's hard physical work but I am enjoying it and I am no iron man.
