[The Wedge Effect]

I can't find a job that doesn't require me to have experience beforehand. How am I supposed to get a job to gain experience in the first place if I don't have experience?

[linds]

Yeah, I whined about that for a month. Then I got a job in Loser Central aka BeCogent!

The money's ok, and it's simple. I get to sit on my arse all day so I'm not going to complain too much.

[dondon]

exactly!!!!!!!

Although, if you were really desperate for experience you could do voluntary work because they'll take nearly anyone.

Well, the main reason I want a job is to get more money to buy a car. I doubt voluntary workers get paid.

[Sammie]

Yup...to college after the summer...and will be workign full time during the sumer.

Supose I should tresure what little is left of my time at high school.

no no thats not what I meant. I mean you do voluntary work for a wee while then apply for a job and you can say you've got experience.

From what I've heard Tesco or the Co-op are always looking for shelf stackers. Ok, the hours are crap and theres probably a reason why they're always wanting people, but you do get paid experiance.

For what you're doing, the money is great(but the Co-op and Asda are slightly ahead of Tesco on the wages front ), and I think the reason that they're always looking for staff is because the job is tedious to say the least. I usually work on the Deli counter, but there's been a couple of occasions where I have done shelf-stacking, and it is so incredibly boring, it's unbelieveable!

But, if you can bear the tedium, its a brilliantly easy job

Where i lived before there was actually a waiting list for jobs at the local tesco and morrisons, although there werent a lot of places you would have gotten a job there anyway.

Wrong! We at TESCO have recently been granted a pay rise due to the workers union, USDAW. Now, starting salary for an under-18 is £4.41 and over-18 is £5.80. You also get a wee pay rise every 6 months, and a rewards card after a year's work (10% off everything in store and online). I get my card in September, just before uni!

I'm just being a pedantic twat, but if you are paid per the hour you earn a wage, not a salary

Tesco treated me like crap. They paid well but they were not respectful of my university hours which I informed them about upon joining the company. They made me ague with them over whether I was going to get a holiday for my exams in December. I ended up quitting a few days after.

Yeah, I never joined USDAW (5% of my wages? Nae chance!) and tend to read the Record/NME during breaks!

And Scott, I suppose it's just your luck what kind of boss you get....the one I've got at the mo would bend over backwards to help any member of staff! Hopefully the one in Aberdeen will be alright (I'm gettin a transfer to the express @ the petrol station).

Staff canteen, we had a pool table. Some dobber had already done the Sudoku puzzles when it was turn for my break, and they usually did them wrong.

2 of my team leaders were good, the rest I hated.
