Default Excuse help?

Hi all,

Few will know ill be made redundad soon.
with the help of my good friend rob i got myself on all these job sites.
and ive applied for jobs and had people come to me.

2 out of 3 phone calls have been time wasters. recruiters with no actuall jobs in their books.

but today i got a call from a representative at reed.co.uk and he sent of my cv to the company at 9:10 am . by 3:25pm i got another call "they want you for an interview... Monday."

Monday?! i work you tossers haha

so i need to get an excuse (a good one) for me to get monday afternoon off. bearing in mind ove already got them to let me have tuesday off to take the missus to hospital

Please help because i have to present such a lie tomorrow morning.

Thanks
Perry

Tell them the truth if you are being made redundant.They should give you time off for a job interview.

Tell them as you are being made redundant so you are going for an interview. Why do you need an excuse?

Read this Perry. It clearly states you are allowed time off for job seeking.

Are you on consultancy or have they actually told you you are being made redundant ?

Or failing that just say nothing and ring in sick on Monday, again if they find out where you have been again what they going to do fire you ?

I think legally they need to give you the time if they are making you redundant.

The other option is that you are ill, snowed in, have a family emergency or that you have thegheyness.

Glad you have an interview mate, let us know how you do.

No its not. You are being made redundant, thus you are going for an interview. Simple.
