Thinking of jacking my job in...

[squirrel_hunter]

If your only after a few hours between college then at this time of year retail is for you. There are however two downsides... Dealing with customers (unless you get a stock room gig) and it will be temporary.

But in the new year they may decide to keep you on or you may be jobless. Bit of a gamble, but I did it once and it paid off. Though things in retail have changed with this climate, I'm a little bit in the past, so bear that in mind.

I've never had a job I've had to start straight away. Oh apart from when I get the call for a 'cleaner'...

Don't jack it in till you've got something to go to. It might be only 15 hrs per week but its still £80 -ish.

I'd be tempted to carry on wearing jeans, unless they are going to provide overalls. Its a change to your T & C's without consultation.

Good luck

Be happy you have a job...

yeah as bad as you may feel at times with your work, i wouldnt go jacking it in any time soon! it is only 3hrs a day, stick with it.

i was made redundant last month, i've now only been out of work a matter of weeks and its absolutely doing my nut in! i'm applying for loads and loads of jobs, but you apply and just never hear anything back. its tough and starting to get me down a bit. def get looking for another job, but dont ruin what you've got, its enough to get you by.

try not to take the actions of the school too personally. They probably want to wield the stick although its just in your general direction. Think of it as a means to keep you on the road for now.
Plan what you are going to do.. the road is long

Get another job first I know this from experince, having told a manger in past that he can stick the job up his/her ****.

Also make sure that you get all the money owed to you. I'm still owed several £100 pounds to this day in unpaid invoices and expesnes.

3 hours a day isn't much try doing 12+ plus hours when you really can't take anymore.

Just take a look at the rich people of today, they didnt get where they are now without taking risks...
