Lee is the security work not working out mate?

I'm staying in security. Just changing from retail to static security

The job interview today, would have been for a floating guard, doing fill in shifts at three locations.

So plenty of variation in the type of work and surroundings

Fun one to do.

Excellent mate. How did it go??

This is a fun one at present.

I have not had the interview yet, Lincolnshire is shut still with the snow

But, most of today has been spent scanning licences, criminal records checks, certificates etc etc

I have been told the company are very interested

So interested they have sent out the references letters today

And if the interview had gone ahead on Wednesday, I would have been working Monday

I have been upskilling over the last couple of months.

Paid for my own Emergency First Aid At Work training. So I am now a certified first aider. A qualification a lot of companies ask for when your a guard

I'm also waiting on another certificate so I can get a cscs labourers card

The problem with the Job Centre putting people through the courses is you end up with a lot of people with the same level of qualifications chasing jobs.

Hence my upskilling to stand out from the competition

Any signs of it going gill???

[gill2009]

  I doubt it thebishman...still snowing...no vehicle of any kind has been up my lane for 6 days.

  I have plenty meat in the freezer...but would love milk, cheese & bread.

  This is the worst winter since 2008

  My lovely farmer with plough is doing his best...but no...no chance of help till it starts thawing.

  I'm really surprised that I still have leccy & internet...usually these go first.


I live in a village with no amenities...our nearest shop is 12 miles away...it may as well be 1200 miles away...I live 1000ft above sea level...& very isolated.

Hopefully it will start thawing soon, I think temperatures are slowly rising , although you still have forecast a few snow showers.
Try to keep those spirits  up in the meantime...
Here's thankfully mostly thawed (being near the coast) although my neighbour smashed up their car's front headlight, wing and bumper on our driveway gate pillar 2 days ago that they slipped into.

Any sign of a thaw gill2009 ?.... and bread and cheese and milk?

[gill2009]

  The thaw is on Postmodern Smoking...today I recieved my first delivery from Asda in nearly 3 weeks.

  This hasn't been the longest time of snow...but definately the most snow fallen in the same time.

Glad that you got a delivery at last gill2009
