Another trip to Leicester - 19th

So into leicester for a job interview, was a tricky intervew too, ive applied for so many jobs from different job sites, sometimes i forget which is which...and that was the case with this one.

The job thing is a little different here, almost all jobs are handled by recruitment agencies, so they review your CV, then book the interview for you. On this occasion the person rang me and was heavily accented and didnt offer to much information, so i just noted the time and said ill see them there. Much as i checked my records, and searched the net, i could find next to nothing about the company... i began to have my doubts.. it didnt seem to add up.

Anyway..  I went in and met with a very slick,  fast talking Londoner, who still did not explain what the actual job was... but he told me how with in a year i could be the managing director of my own branch... hmmm... yeh right.. i ask for a job description... oh umm no we dont have one. anyway at the end he says he would love to have me spend a day with one of their staff to look at whats done.. then start with them. i said send me a job description and ring me to arrange... i check the net when i get home and find this... click here

needless to say... when offered the chance.. i told them thanks but no thanks.

Nic came with me and wandered around leics while i was in... then we went to the Jewry wall and museum... awesome place in the centre of the city... 3000 year old roman bath remains... just incredible.




On the way home we were lucky enough to catch up with Keith, Gill, Derek and Maria for a cuppa in a lovely old pub.
