Hurrah!

Which chain? Which branch?


Totesport in Ilkley

woot!

it's like across the road too.

and 16 hours a week. i hope that's just two days!


whaaaa

tell me how it went. I've been in the frozen stage of an application with William Hill, their regional communcation skills are pants!


it's just a shop assistant job

it took them fucking ages to get back to me, then there was an interview involving lots of mental arithemetic, then they phoned me up the next day [today] to tell me they want me!


yeah I failed to mention it's been 3 weeks

since they were suppsoed to get in touch. Also what did they ask you?


took them 5 weeks to get back to me

asked me all the normal shop type questions: how do you cope under pressure, what do you think your strengths are, how would you communicate things to a team, how do you deal with complaints, what do you like about working in a team. no questions about sport.

and then some verbal mental arithmetic (very easy, just addition of money) and then a written mental arithmetic test which was similar but also involved a few what is 10% of such and such type questions.


can I have answers to said questions please

such is my current level of apathy. 5 WEEKS what am I suppsoed to do until then?! DiS?!!
Better start revising my maths too..


Fuck You

have a bukake on me ;)


Working in a betting shop

would depress the shit out of me.

Er, CONGRATS!


i like betting shops

anyway the one in ilkley is full of port swilling old men who aren't gonna ruin their lives


good stuff.

i've always fancied working in one, it's just the regular armed robberies that put me off. (15 a year on average)


well done you!

Congratulations!

My flatmate used to work in a betting shop. He enjoyed it! Right up to the point where someone pointed a shotgun at his face.

HAVE FUN! :)

You're going to meet some rotters!


congrats
