good luck

 

glad too see this up and running

hoep it helps people out. i have asecond interview on tuesday fingers crossed!

edit:

i have a business degree and i found that the most effective way to get an interview is to be very specific with your cover letter. for instance quote company mission statements etc (obviously of the company your applying for).

and also i have went back old school and simply walking in and just asking if i could speak with the manager. then go from there. it seems to work quite well.

glad people are getting good use from this thread

 

great thread!

im a joiner and am taking a construction management course starting sept. im looking for help in finding a company who would give me work experience or some type of internship, any leads or general advice is welcome.

also my girlfriend has a business degree, wants to get into teaching, not taking any students til 2012! so she is thinking of other posibilities like a bank or a junior accountant or something like that, again, leads or general advice very welcome!

bear in mind we are in oban!


thanks!

 

19 year old guy University student - Don't start back uni till middle of September looking for part-time summer work for five weeks in bar/nightclub/ restaurant in Glasgow area.

 

Well guys in desperate need of a part time job cos my dads just got on at me for being lazy and not looking for one even tho I have. So anyway I'm 16 still at school so probably just weekends I would be able to work anyone have anything ?

 

Forgot to mention I'm from Kilmarnock

 

great idea joe just lost my job thanks buddy

 

this could be good for someone http://www.gumtree.com/p/jobs/celtic-park-kiosk-staff-wanted/83936224

 

right guys, im going to this hospitality thing at celtic park on thursday but i dont really know what it is. All they have told me is that they are having a recruitment drive, i dont know whether it is an interview or more of a training day and because of this i dont know what clothes to wear. Dose anyone know what it might be?

 

ahhh bad news mate!! hows the search going? nothing worse atm, maybe just see it as a nice wee break and get something soonish

 

best just be safe buddy and go with smart. however if you wanna play it safe maybe just trousers and shirt tie and shoes.

i am a strong believer you can never be too smart for these things mate. and if you look overdressed atleast you will stand out and they will remember you

 

not to well mate you need tickets or paper work or some kind of card for everything am a painter but have no trade papers

 

ok, thanks

 

aahhh doesnt sound to good mate. is there anyway you can obtain the papers?

 

a would need to sit a course for about 2 years mate it was my last job that trained us but the papers count for * outside the job.just got married and have a mortgage a hope to find one soon

 

well best of luck mate, am sure you will fins something very soon

on the plus side atleast you have your wife and a home mate.

its a skill you have so i am sure something will come up.

 

ok, dilemma time. Since i posted this i applied for the gumtree thing at celtic park which waspocelts posted, they have sinced e-mailed me telling me to be outside the celtic superstore at 5pm on thursday. But the official celtic hospitality team have told me to be outside the main entrance at 6pm on Thursday for a different job within celtic. Celtic are just so desperate to employ me :icon_mrgreen:

 

good dilema to have mate, which job do you want the most i suppose!

i had an interview today and it wnet * aweful mate. haha

 

ill probably just go at 5 and tell the people that i have something else to attend at 6 which is probably more important, cause id rather work in the official hospitality part of celtic park on a matchday than in the * kiosks. What was your interview for mate?

 

yeah good idea mate, will be funny though when they see you again in half a hour walking past.haha.

was for sales and account management in a company near me. for some reason the top top bloke wanted to interview me after my intial interview. he was to say the least not very friendly. but spose just got to wait and see.

in the mean time my days are wasted on the internet and eating mcdonalds.
