It has been 9 months since I was on here and very little has changed. I have had a few interviews yet I am still jobless and very close to penniless. I have reapplied to the "well known Chicken franchise" and other restaurants. But nothing yet. Wow.
It hurts me deeply when people do not reply when I don't get the job; I'm okay with it, really. Especially if I get an explanation. Not enough experience or the wrong experience whatever it is, it will help me to improve for any future interviews. But if I don't get anything back, I don't know what I've done wrong. Though I'm pretty sure it isn't me that's in the wrong during an interview. I have interesting conversations, important certificates that I like to show off (but they never look) and most importantly I am able to do pretty much any job. I can waitress, bar tend, clean to a VERY high standard. I can also handle people, complaints and difficult instructions. The First Aid qualifications were not just for fun either, I worked my arse off for them.
And you sit there and ignore my portfolio. You ask me questions about my experience but don't check my CV for details in front of me. What is with that? Trying to catch me out? Trying to get me to interview myself? If so, I could and I'd still be able to be objective. I might even ask better questions. And I would definitely look at my sodding portfolio!
Anyway, today I'm going to call a local restaurant/bar that's looking for experienced bar staff. It's easy to get to and from, the hours are good and no more 3am close ups for me. Plus they don't open until lunchtime so nearly early shifts either. Yay!
Wish me luck!
