Weird ramblings

Hmmmm...

02/21/2016

I heard back from another job that I applied for, asking me to fill out a form and email it back to them.

Yet again, it is in Newcastle.  (Seriously, there's very few jobs in Middlesbrough worth a damn.)

Now I really want this job.  The advert says it was 35 hours a week.  Which would give me enough to commute for a couple of months and save up a deposit for moving through there.  Once I did that, there's the possibility of overtime and possibly moving onto a backshift like I was on at Barclay's.

It turns out that I may also actually already have a lead on a flat through there.

In the email they said that the job, should I get it, would start on April 18.  Which is fine with me as it means that I won't need to ask for time off work the day after Wrestlemania and I won't need to ask for time off for the Big Tees Sleepout (don't forget to sponsor me using the button below).

It also says that the job will be 20 hours a week.

Which puts me in a bit of a catch 22.  I can't save up a deposit and afford the bus or train pass and my bills.  I could afford to move through if I don't commute.  (I actually found a thing online to work out how much I'd get pro rata.)

I'm going ahead with the application.  Partly because there's a chance that I could get bumped up/do overtime before/after my shifts, partly because if I don't and the jobcentre find out I can be sanctioned but mostly because it sounds like a good place to work.

But I'm not sure if I should mention something when I email the form back, if I should wait until I get an interview (if I do), see if they say anything about it or if I should just keep quiet.

Thoughts?

Yes, apply. Every application provides experience, at the very least.

I would suggest you wait until the interview. Asking questions when they ask you if you have any questions, it be the perfect timing AND would also let you express your willingness to do overtime and have more hours if possible.

Definitely apply. And then ask all your questions during the interview. Always wishing you the best Will.

When it comes to the Job Centre tell them nothing. Lie about everything if you have to. I was sanctioned a few years ago because I didn't apply for any jobs on Christmas Day and Boxing day yet I was honest about yet they sanctioned me. Good luck with the jobs.
