Pathetic, whimpering cry for help

I need a job that isn't stupid, where I don't have to work with and for morons. Something in Central London. Anything serious, tell me here or on my e-mail. The final straw was when I was told I was responsible for moving boxes of stationery out of the elevator, as "That's what company policy is now, everything's in-house", so I imagine I'll be cleaning toilets next because the shareholders won't spring for an outside plumber. If this isn't an appropriate place for this then feel free to delete BTW

What do you actually do, jobwise? Or are *supposed* to be doing?

Schlepping boxes probably isn't in your job description...

'Media Evaluation'

― dave q, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Go to an agency. They'll make you do dumb typing tests. If you can type quickly, you'll be working that very afternoon. If you can't type quickly, you could still probably get something filling/data inputting to tide you over for a bit. Do you have qualifications/experience in anything? I don't, I aim low.

Oh, and if you want to work for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, go to Addecco on Oxford St. They have now placed three of my friends in various places round here. Yay govverment.

Media evaluation? You mean you sit there reading the papers and watching TV? That sounds like a keeper to me, even if it does involve a bit of light exercise at the lift from time to time. Don't want to become a couch potato, do you?

And while everyone is at it, what do you think the best way to get a job in london is? I know a certain someone who is afraid of applying for jobs because of a bad experience applying for jobs after graduating for university.

Do you think London/English companies hire more based on experience rather than qualifications/education?

Advice please.
