Soul destroying gap year jobs!

rakata

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?!

I'm so, so bored of work, and sick of getting paid minimum wage :frown:

Looking forward to getting a good salary after I graduate though I guess..

I quite liking asda, you just have to make the best of a bad situation. Asda pay me 8.55 an hour and i work 3 nights equivalent to minimum wage so its ok, leaves me time to do anything else i want to do :smile:

just keep applying, be prepared to do anything you'll get a great experience in meet new people etc. Looking for a job should be a full time job within itself lol.

Tax returns.

I prepare tax returns.

Okay, it's about £9.50 an hour, which softens the blow, but I don't want to get out of bed in the mornings and I want to throw myself under the train on the way home.

Yes!! Direct selling.... :frown:

Also, being described as the manager by my superiors, having to do the manager's job in a struggling shop, but still not getting paid any more/the official title for my CV.
