Regarding the owing them money if you leave thing. You should have a look at that. I know that was the case when I was going through the chartered accountancy shite but the ICAEW advised their members that such an employment clause would not be enforcible in court. Restraint of employment or sumfink.

 

It obviously depends on whether you like your employer or feel that you owe them some loyalty but if you want to move on then you shouldn't let that hold you back.

 

That is very interesting...

 

I mean, I do like them, I'm grateful that they put me through the course - but enough to justify two years of my life? No.

 

Thanks, I'll look into that.

It was a study on the implications of national and organisational culture for cross cultural trading relationships in academic publishing.

 

Needless to say, I'm glad it's over.

Mankind is doomed.

:lol:

 

I had to make it about academic publishing, that's the industry I work in! And inter cultural stuff is always interesting...!

Congrats on your job, Tom.

 

Wish some of that success would rub off - I'm gutted. I've been told by a recruiter that I'm not experienced enough for a job as a recipe developer. Their client's ideal candidate list:

 

The ideal candidate will need:
• a good level of education
• Live within easy reach of Ascot
• Have a good knowledge of cooking
• Have a good knowledge of regional UK and Irish cooking
• Be curious about food, have an affinity with cooking, eating, tasting
• Additional specialist knowledge of nutrition would be useful but is not essential
• Excellent command of English (spoken and written)
• IT literate
• experienced working under pressure, ability to work to deadlines
• willing to travel

 

I'm currently doing a nutrition course. :lol: Inside job? I've emailed back to say they should reconsider.

 

I hate recruiters. Scummy caths. (no offense to Stevie & any other recruiters on here intended)

Aye as fist says, keep thy pecker up. Shit time.

I'm alright, thanks chaps, (apart from hand) but the Missus is all over the shop.

I moved firms during my training contract (I'd done the last exam but not received the results yet). Got hit with a £2k charge that my next firm covered. That itself was repayable in various degrees to the new firm if I left within 2 years.

 

Now I pay out £330 for bollocks all. I get access to £160 courses on how to create a pivot table and that pretty much sums it up.

One of these bad boys (£145) and some house keeping stuff. (I was getting it anyway) I'm keeping it sensible for now -although I'll be after a telecaster eventually - so I'll put the excess towards that. :up:

 

The next door neighbours will be treated to the solo from 'Sunday Afternoon' by Queen till. Till it stops...
