i have had a good response already. 1 seems ideal. The other a Workshop manager, CPC Holder,Fully Qualified and coded welder is a Women!.
Her CV is quite amazing.

Interviews start next week.

CV's should be taken with a pinch of salt. You can buy qualifications these days and pay an expert in wording CV's with business type hit words tailored towards the job etc. One can even buy good checkable references. Once you have weeded through the CV's and missing the true potential good employee who's CV did not come across as well written what's you usual next step. Do you get them all in for an interview then to weed things down more, and how about putting them all to a few quick physical tests like a couple of hours in the workshop to see how they get on and whether you think they will fit in with the rest of the team.

I tell you what I am starting to see more now is rather than a job application asking for a CV is to provide the applicant with multiple choice type questions as to what one would do in a certain situation or put these in order of priority type questions. I suppose this is more character based rather than qualifications and work history which can be faked / blagged.

I done a moody today and didn't turn up for work with plans of simply not going back. My leg and my ankle was throbbing so bad this morning and I could barley stand up FFS. Didn't even call in sick so I guess I loose a days pay there not that it's much so don't bother me really LOL Anyhow I have decided I shall go in tomorrow and do things properly and hand in my months notice. I really cant take any more and it's starting to really effect my health physically and mentally I'm going to try and get a doctors appointment too so maybe they can put me on the sick for a couple of weeks into my resignation period.

wombles em. They can't treat people like this and expect to get away with it. They know I have severe injuries and don't give a sh1t as long as the work gets done. No catering for those with disabilities, it's criminal and they get away with it. The Place is so disorganised and everything is rush rush rush and manic and all they care about is pushing people around and getting the job done. They are so understaffed too and there is no sign of them getting anyone else in. Pissed off I am but have other jobs I am waiting on reply's from so hopefully I shall find something else sooner rather than later, though being stuck in this job hinders me finding something else.
