I've just lost my job, after 2 weeks!

[The DJ 27]

So I am no longer a telesales goon. Basically my boss didn't like me, and used some innocuous stuff that everyone does against me. So I'm unemployed again Any PH'ers in Cheshire/Staffordshire have any jobs that they need filling? Can email a CV if you like. Sorry if this is a really cheeky post but what the hell. Use every resource available and all that

[Gaffer]

Do you speak any languages?

Unfotunately not. Basic summary is 10 GCSE's, all A-C grades, A2 Levels in Business, Geography, IT and English Language, and two years of a Journalism Degree, which I dropped out of for various reasons.

Sorry to hear that.

I can probably help you on B2C telesales. Choice of offices, but they're in London and Bedford.

Mail me through my profile if its of interest.

[The DJ 27]

I'm intrigued, what do you mean? Do you upset a lot of people or something?

Hang on, I re-read that and understand now - what was it that everyone does?

[phatgixer]

Move to Oxfordshire. Far nicer than Staffordshire. Might have something here if you are prepared to move from the dark counties....

Just stay away from the frightful Caudwell bunch (who lurk in them there parts...)

you weren't thinking of buying a vibrator for a secret santa prank were you??

I am a shareholder in a similar company, but we are a much nicer bunch. ....and none of the directors are ginger.

[phatgixer]

If he worked there twice, he clearly has an intelligence issue.

At least I only served once...

You stole some office supplies from the stationary cupboard?
You were 'creative' with your timesheet to make up your hours?
You flirted with the attractive receptionist?
You used the office phone for personal calls?

I can't think of many more things that "everyone does" to a greater or lesser extent.

Oh yeah, I forgot that one.

(I generally never use a client's phone - most clients (or their employees at least) seem to get a bit funny with contractors using the phones, so I always use my mobile.)

[The DJ 27]

Well, just sending the odd email, mostly internally! Which everyone in the company does. It's not like I wasn't selling, I'd managed 6 sales in four days, which is pretty good going in there. Basically, the team leader didn't like me, and as I couldn't be moved anywhere else, I was shown the door. phatgixer, I've already worked for Cauldwell mate, never again!

[john75]

Just a tip if yoe ever work for a company for less then say 6 months do not add it to your CV as a potential employer will think you are a job hopper

[The DJ 27]

It's not going on my CV, for precisely that reason.
