13th December 2014 - Part II

[waitingman]

Well, that was a surprise...

I thought I was just going to introduce myself as a potential candidate for a job. turns out they would have loved me to start immediately - this morning - if I could have. Fastest interview ever. Probably helped by the fact I'd come recommended by a colleague & another colleague was at the place this morning when I showed up & he recommended me as well... It's good to have friends. And a good reputation!!

The downside is I just made the call to the company I was due to start with on Monday & boy, were they unimpressed - basically telling me that I couldn't do that after having "accepted a job" with them. I'd signed nothing, had no official offer made, just an e-mail from the Recruitment Agency telling me to front up on Monday. So, legally, I hadn't accepted anything... only the fact that I'd be working for a bad company with a worse name in their industry. An uncomfortable conversation, but... Bullet dodged

I now owe 2 guys either some serious favours or something pleasant from Dan Murphy's...
