I'd gladly do that if it finally means I get a job!


Snooker - Is there still time to apply? Do you have to go to the store to apply or is it online?

had an interview today. it was supposed to be one of those 35mins instore assesments.. but the interviewer wasn't there so another member of staff just did a standard 15mins interview. they said they'd let me know by the end of the week.
