have i mentioned how much i fucking HATE temp agencies and interviewing?? god damn. all ive done the last two days is freeze my ass off, get lost, not get any work and wasted two days where i could have been doing something some what productive (ie: cleaning the house) but wasnt because they had me on a wild goose chase through out dublin.. one place, planet recruitement, contacted me mere moments after i sent my CV through on some job site. should have known that was bad news. anyways, lady calls me says she has a 3 month to perm position with a company called stream. tells me about it and im like great, im game for work. so i accept the interview. get in, find out the job is in dublin three on the north side of town and i need to get the DART to get there. im like okay, im sure i can find that. she gives me instructions. the damn stop is past trinity college and at least 15 walking minutes. over the phone she said the position itself was 20 walking minutes from st stephens green. bull - fucking - shit. anyways. go to the interview, and its only a 6 week (at the most) position and its only a temp. i would have been fine if it was a 3 month temp but its gah. anyways. i didnt get the position cause i was over qualified - i think - but according to her, she said it was because i didnt give more valid specifics. well he said i didnt have to since i "was more then obiviously qualified" and even wrote down "N/A" on the interview sheet. but whatever. same lady, when she calls back to say i didnt get the position says she has another job offer for me in an area called blanchettestown or something. i told her, originally, i can only work in city centre as i lack transportation AND i dont know the city very well as i just moved over 12 days ago. she says its a 30 minute bus ride there and THEN a shuttle bus will pick me up and drive me another 10 minutes to the place. im like i CANT take the interview since its not near me at all. i need to work in the "even" numbers of town. she asked "well cant you move to be closer to city centre?" i told her "im 20 minutes away as it, how much closer do you want me to move?" she got quiet. i dont think im hearing from her again. im okay by that. today, i was sent to BT by manpower. who arent normally my favourite people, but mike recomended them since work uses them. so i get a call from a Carl today asking to interview at 2.30 and to meet face to face. im like cool, i can take my time do some errands and then stop by and meet this guy in my jeans and stuff. nope not happening. i then get a call from a Laura, asking me to come by and tointerview for BT. i say okay give me an hour or so cause i literally just woke up and wasnt expecting to come in till later. she got curt and said okay 12.30 BUT my interview wouldnt be till 2pm. im like is there any way i can meet you later, as its cold out and i dont want to be sitting around in some reception area for an hour. shes like not really.. i said ill be there at 12.30. come i meet with her. she calls me a know it all cause i didnt have my last job long (due to mike) so im still fresh to the interview processes. i dont need to be told how to answer questions for a CSR role. anyways she gives me some catty comment on how im dressed (im freezing so im still wrapped in peacoat, hooded jacket underneath, scarf and gloves - hat is in hand) and sends me off. i go to the interview, its right up my alley but i didnt get it (its uuuh 19.21 on friday and the position starts on monday) and im cool with that. im pissed that she didnt call me back to let me know how it went and that i didnt get it. when i did call her she said "youll hear from us either way" then hung up. yeah fuck you. im MAKING YOU MONEY dont treat me like dirt. cunts. yeah so im wound up and pissed off, on the walk back from BT i just cried and wanted to bring mike (and google) back to sheffield with me. i hate hate hate it here.
