Got the Job!
Well anyone that saw my interview post, i would just like to announce i got the job =D. Thought i wouldn't get it as it was the shortest interview ever and seemed rather bad when i came out.
But just had the phone call giving me my 1st 2 shifts =)
Got to say i am rather proud of myself, and i don't feel so worried about things anymore.

Interview =/
Today i have an interview, nothing special just for a receptionist at Hollywood Bowl. Now i would be soooo happy to get this job, as i am about to pass my driving test and getting a car....not so cheap!!!
Despite the fact that in the next year i am moving out and trying to save for that is kinda scary when your not in a steady job, so me getting this job today would actually be a life saver!
Now i don't think anyone actually likes interviews, and if anyone does please tell me why?!?! To me and interview is like when your back at school and your in trouble and have to stay behind to have a talk, or its parents evening and you know the teacher has a fair few things to pick out about you, good and bad, but it still makes you nervous.
In an interview i get warm, and feel sooo ill, my palms go clammy and even though there is only 2-6 eyes on you i feel like there is a million. I stutter and errr a lot and tend to move my hands about or twiddle with my hair my coat whatever clothes i'm wearing. And interviewers pick up on this stuff and would probably, quite happily use it against anyone if they didn't like something about the person but obviously can't use that as an excuse not to carry on the interview. So the perfect excuse 'your to nervous would you like to stop this now?'
Now yer i could say to them no lets carry it on, but nerves take over and i can't even say that without stuttering or errring! It is embarrassing, and i can't even deny, sometimes its a relief. Now my statistics are good i have only ever been on 4 interviews and only 1 of them i haven't got the job, and i even made it through to the final stage as well. So that says to me i should be more confident, ha no no no i am actually shitting myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I shall update as soon as i know.

Dilemmas with Work
OK so everyone has their own views on people on the dole!?!?! Right? Some say scroungers, some say lazy, some say bums, some say money grabbers, some just don't particularly care!
Well in the past 2 years, 2 months and 21 days (since i turned 18) i have spent a total of......16 months collecting job seekers, now for those who may read this and form an opinion, i am not a scrounger, i am not lazy when it comes to work, i am not a bum, i am not a money grabber, and i really wish people wouldn't form these opinions without understanding that everyone has many different stories and reasons for having to go on job seekers.
I am contracted to a job, however that is a 0 hour contract, like many others on these contracts you are NOT always getting work every week, and so you sign on as a 'get me by' until your next shift. Now some will say why not get a better job, some people are on 0 hour contracts because they have family members they have to take care of and so only way they can have a job that works round them and some just can't find anything else so would rather be in a job with a chance of some hours and some work and some hard earned money, then nothing at all.
I am all for freedom of speech and i understand that some or all may know of someone that collects job seekers because they just can't be arsed to work, i know a fair few, but some do want to work and can't physically find it, i have sent out 100's and 100's of C.V.s out and filled in application form after application form, and most the time never hear anything, i have been on courses and improved my skills, i have volunteered, and done minimum wage, yet still get the names when i have to admit i have to sign on.
Now i may not of paid much into the system, but i have paid some and i plan on paying a hell of a lot more, or when i have children i plan on bringing them up to work hard in life and accept the system will only work for you if you work for it, so why am i not entitled to ask for a helping hand when i can't find a job to get me by in everyday life? Now whoever has read this and doesn't agree if you can answer me this question with a SENSIBLE answer against me, i would actually appreciate it, i may not agree but still be very interesting, but please do think about it before you make your judgement.
Calling some on job seekers a scrounger or bum or lazy or whatever else, is sometimes as bad and as hurtful as calling someone fat or ugly...think about it.
