Bare with me, this is gonna be long...
I was applying for jobs lastnight on the BristolJobs website and got a call back from one of the employers this morning. I'd missed it, so I called them back.
It was Mantra Marketing. The lady on the phone asked me if I'd applied for a job in Customer Services, which I had. So she said, eventhough it was probably her colleague who called me, and she didn't actually have my CV in front of her, she could take over anyway. So she asked me abit about my work background, and said that I was probably called to attend an interview.
She asked if I could come in today, but I've got plans and it very short notice, so I declined. She then asked me about coming in Monday, which was fine. It would give me time to do some research on the company, get my clothes ready, and just generally prepare myself. And as she kept dodging the subject of what's actually involved, what the company provides, and what the pay rates are, etc, I was feeling very hesitant by the end of the call.
Upon doing research, I've found out that it's basically *not* the office job I applied for. It's all about commission via door-to-door sales, and/or standing around Bristol in fundraising vests bugging people their for money and card details (it all depends what company they have you supporting at the time). =/
Apparently, everyone gets an interview with them, everyone gets hired, and everyone quits within a week or two when they're finally given the truth about their job. And when you read their "Business Development Programme" on their own site, it's very obviously just another pyramid scheme. =/

Seriously, what's with Radio 1 playing ads right in the middle of songs now? =/

Mini Eggs!! =D

Having to go to work today (I hate my job).

I think things have been ok so far. I've missed a couple of shows though, and I have to admit... I'm not listening to Greg as much as I used to since the swap. I can't quite put my finger on why yet. I used to live to Greg, then Scott. So why can't I listen to Scott, then Greg? o_O
Ah well. Less Radio 1 for me. I rarely listen in the morning as it is. I do love Chris, but I'm usually not feeling "awake enough" for his very loud and energetic show. It's a great show - I just need some quiet time most mornings. ^^;
And it's even rarer that I'll listen after 10. Eventhough it's a time when, if I'm home, I'm awake and ready to go. And it's a time I feel more "in the mood" for some good music... I just can't stand Fearne. I find her extremely irritating and I was really disappointed to find out she hadn't been moved. =/
-
Not gonna lie; it feels refreshing to have Scott on this early.
-
AnimeNFO is about the only other one I bother with. Very different, obviously. XD
-
One word: "YOOF" - the desire to attract younger and younger people..... and all the station does is drive more + more people away !! I bet we'll view this time period in a documentary years from now... probably entitled "The Year R1 Died".
You may be right there. =( These are sad times.
I have to admit, I've been abit of a Greg James fan since his Early Morning shows, and I was pleased when he got a more reasonable slot. But I don't think he belongs in the Scott Mills slot.
-
Blagh. I'm not sure why the need to a shake-up, but I am disappointed that Fearne Cotton is still on during the same slot. Go awaaay!! >_<
-
Friends!! Having a picnic tomorrow with my anime group. Can't wait! We meet up for viewing nights once a week and we've all become good friends. Should be some newbies along tomorrow too. Really hope the weather stays nice.
Finding new things to create. I've just taught myself how to make hammocks for rats and ferrets. I'm gonna make some more and pass them out to friends who have these lovely little critters. =3
-
My job. This is only the second job I've ever had that I can honestly say I hate!! >_<
