Great news PPH and wonderful that you are going back today. You'll be an expert on birds before you know it, actually I think you are anyway Laughing

Enjoy today.

thanks for the vote of confidence Lai

When I was sorting through the pin badges to send to the volunteers I was sub consciously sorted the species into raptors, wading birds, sea birds etc.

Looking forward to hearing how today went later.

I start a temp job tomorrow for an month, its just a normal job and not what I want to do but it gives me a bit more money and experience.

I hate leaving the RSPB as I have really loved working there but I have said that if they still want me at the end of the month then I'll be back. I may not last a month as I have been very good with my redundancy money so I don't really need to work for a few more months so if I don't like the work I may leave early.

I will still keep on looking for work in the charity sector and maybe something will come up with the RSPB

Safari Maiden Sun May 15, 2011 10:08 pm

Good Luck for tomorrow PPH. I know it is only temporary and you dont need the work at the moment, but prospective employers like to see continuous employment on your CV, so good on you for giving it a go anyway.

Let us know how you are getting on.

**whitestarling** Sun May 15, 2011 11:44 pm

Fingers X for tomorrow PPH, hopefully it might be something you like, but you can still keep your eye out for that job you want to do

Well, I went there and I decided it wasn't for me. It wasn't enjoying it and it was very boring work. So back to the RSPB volunteering for the near future. I know though that I did give the temp job a go and as I sad before I am very lucky that my redundancy will see me through for a few more months

**whitestarling** Mon May 16, 2011 6:36 pm

Well you tried PPH, and thats all anyone can ask. There loss is the RSPB's gain hopefully
WS

princesspurplehippy Mon May 16, 2011 6:45 pm

Thanks WS

The RSPB has said they would have me back anytime as I've done such good work. That's always nice to hear that people appreciate the work you do and I'll keep on looking for a job I want and that will make a difference

Safari Maiden Tue May 17, 2011 10:15 am

At least your tried it PPH and its nice that you can still go to RSPB.

SM

**Doogs** Tue May 17, 2011 11:06 pm

That's a shame that things didn't work out for you PPH. I'm sure there's something better for you just around the corner Wink

princesspurplehippy Thu May 26, 2011 10:21 pm

had my first interview today since being made redundant. It wasn't for a job with a charity but it was an admin job for a local car dealership. Its really hard getting a job working for a charity as they are normally part time or very low paid. The economic situation doesnt help either.

I will let you know what happens

**whitestarling** Thu May 26, 2011 10:29 pm

Best of Luck PPH, fingers X. The charity side must be really tough as you say with everyone cutting back, and they do rely on volunteers so much anyway

Hoping it is good news PPH. Good Luck!!

**Laikipia** Sat May 28, 2011 7:15 am

A belated good luck PPH - let us know how you got on

Lai

princesspurplehippy Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:05 pm

I haven't heard about the last job I went for but I have got another interview tomorrow. Again its for a job I can easily do and don't really want it but its a job and itll keep me busy until I find a job I want

What is annoying is that I haven't been paid for the temp job I had which didnt last, the company is saying that I walked out despite the fact that I offered to stay the rest of the day and was told to go home and also they signed my timesheet to say I did the work.

Really annoying Job Hunting - Page 2 615959

**Laikipia** Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:59 am

Good luck with the interview PPH. That's terrible re the temp job, surely if they signed your time sheet they must pay you?

Hoping you can sort that out.

I am sure the right job will come up. How are things at the RSPB?

Lai

**Doogs** Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:20 pm

That's absolutely awful PPH, I really hope that you get the money you earned and deserve - surely they've got no come back if they've signed your time sheet scratch

Good luck with todays interview :)
