    Building a better resume and getting your foot in the door.

    It works, just take my word for it.

    Or don't and continue sitting around grinding achievements all day.

    Either way, you still end up worm chow.

    Since you put it like that, it sounds a little worth my time.

    Went out without my keys. DOH!

    Anyway, been to see the lady. Really nice person.

    Find out tomorrow if I'm working for 6-8 weeks unpaid. 30 hours a week.

    There was another girl seeing her at the same time as me, looked kinda foreign. I recognised her from somewhere though. Probably went to the same school as me..

    Does that mean you got the job?

    Yep, it's to get work experience working in a shop (Since I have none) and it looks good on your CV (Known as a resume in your neck of the woods, no doubt.)

    There's the following opportunities:

    Costa (like Starbucks for people who aren't loaded )
    Amigo's shop, basically a news agent. I walked in there first and both the people on the till were pretty hot.
    And the other one she mentioned was stocking shelves, taking in deliveries etc. I stupidly said I'd prefer to do this one. WTF, I should've said I wanted to do the one above.

    Ah, well getting no pay blows, but at least you get something out of it.

    Well it doesn't affect my benefits (£52 a week, woopee.) And the job centre will also pay my travel expenses...
