Takes longer to read but it’s definitely worth it!Oh Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
LMFAO
Good boy ! Revenge is oh so sweet.
[rather worrying about the seller’s “leg” fetish though……………..]
Thanks Giggletastic ! :D Better make it a double………….. :?
Temp Agencies are shyte at the best of times. :roll: Don’t matter if you work for them or have to use them to fill your employee requirements – they are sheeeeeiiiiiiiiitttte.
They sent my current temp to the wrong address, my last temp decided not to turn up on her last day and they didn’t let me know until mid-morning [when by then I was smart enough to figure out she wasn’t coming in………………..], when I used to temp they’d ring and convince me they had found the “perfect job” for me…………..stuffing envelopes…………….
:lol:

Personally, I’d sack your office manager for incompetence. Of course people exaggerate on their CV’s. How else are they going to get an interview. Anyone with experience in recruitment would be able to tell. (Yes, I have. Many years)
Bit harsh that ? HR “fob off” half their responsibility to the office manager [well in my case anyway], I expect HR to find the right candidate for the job going after giving them the information they require [ie, job role, responsibilities, etc]. But no, I’m expected to telephone interview them, interview them and decide if they are suitable. I’m not trained in interviewing techniques and can only go by my “gut” feeling…which, whilst normally pretty good, is pretty shyte when it comes to potential candidates for a job….hence why we are supposed to have an HR dept ?
And with agencies ? well again in my case I’m supposed to request HR to get a temp in, and ask them to request the agencies to look for perm staff…………..but trying to get HR to do anything is a sheer struggle nowadays, they are too busy trying to keep the company “PC”, going through the lengthy disciplinery procedures, looking after those poor petals who, after 2 months of work, feel they are getting RSI and want a new monitor and chair………….etc. :roll:
Touchy subject this one for me at the mo !

A few weeks ago, I made the mistake of trying to take on some new staff for our office.
We place adds in all the local papers and at the jobcentres and we got about 300 “cv” and our office manger spent a week to going thru them.
Finally we got the numbers down to about 20 and interview them last week, but they where all a bit of a joke and none where hired.
Which means that the office manger was paid for a week and did nothing, but ask for overtime to catch up with the work she had missed.
I spent the day being bored brainless and we are still 2 people short in the office.
Look’s like I will have to employ some temps for now. Most of the people I saw last week had not got a clue.
If any of you are going for an interview, pls make sure you know what the jobs about and you have experience and training. And your “cv” is not a work of fiction; people always check it and you will be found out if you lie.
Being an office manager myself I am in exactly the same predicament at the mo trying to recruit 2 receptionists/administrators………….people just don’t care about work anymore. [god how old do I sound ????]
Eating waaaaay too much today.
And still not stopping even though I feel sick.
Now, is there any chocolate left ??? :?
You’re right ma’hunny you have gooooone !
[but as you had such a “distinctive” piccie, I can still see it in my head……………]
