Jobhunting Misery 1 2

Hi I'm sitting at the computer trying to finish (well actually start) my DPP coursework and I'm beginning to wonder if it is worth it. I applied for a job at a pre-school during the summer and was offered it - only problem was that between interview and offering me the job, they changed the hours and presumed it would be ok. It wasn't as it now clashed with the school run. So I applied for a number of jobs and in the last week I have received 4 'thanks but no thanks letters' and I didn't even get to interview stage. I'm starting to feel like all the hard work I've put in and all the hours as a volunteer have been for nothing. I know there's a job out there but at the…

We had 'the call' today & our friendly team of inspectors will be with us next week (bang goes the weekend!). Anyway - just looking for some advice really from others who have experienced an insoection at this time of year - am in a nursery (within a primary school), children are part time & have just completed their 1st week (of full sessions!) what will the inspectors be looking for???

Does anybody have any ideas on how to handle a Manager who won't listen to anybody, and thinkgs they are always right. I was showing (at her request) the other day how to do birth to three planning a new starter to the setting. After I had finished I was walking back through the room when I heard the Manager say 'ignore what she said, she has told you wrong', and continued to tell her exactly what I had said. The Manager didn't bother to ask me what I had said to the student. I am so cross but not sure what is the best way forward. I am also a senior member of staff with responsibility for looking after the staff

What a terrible day! From 9 until 3 all I seemed to do was nag....poor children I know they're tired and I am, but they were such hard work today. I really need to be more positive on Monday, felt really sorry for those children who always follow instructions and do as asked. Anyone else had a day like mine??

Hi guys, I haven't been on for ages - won't go into why as too long and involved.... BUT! My daughter (almost 13) has entered a competition and I would REALLY appreciate it if you would check out the website www.instantpopstar.co.uk, put Bethany J in the search and if you think she deserves it (I have to be honest and say there are some excellent singers on there!) please please vote for her. You get 20 votes so if you want you can use them all on her I've also found out that if you have user accounts on your pc, they all get 20 votes! I feel cheeky asking especially when I haven't been an active member for ages (I used to be on as another person...) but when I've poste…
