    You make your license where you come from? Lol I kid I kid...I learned how to drive on a stick car. a 2001 Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition. That was a pretty sweet little car. The second stick I ever drove was my (Mom's) Uncle's Viper. That was one of the easiest cars to drive stick, (it was a 1997) much easier than that jetta. Carry on then :)

    Its incredibly rare to learn to drive auto here unless you count being like 12 or something learning to drive on private land (although when I was 12 I learnt to drive stick in the family car).


    Anyway. Currently unemployed but I am a first year computer science student at the university of northampton, looking towards completing the computer systems pathway.

    Previously I worked for 2 days with my grandmothers fiance's landscape gardening company because one of his employees was due to come back from a weeks holiday in iceland but a volcano decided to erupt. I worked for domino's pizza as a delivery driver for 2 months. I worked in a meat factory for 5 shifts on a temp contract via a recruitment agency who havent offered me any other work since :/

    Anyone contemplating pizza delivery or meat factory work: no, just no. Well, if its a company provided vehicle then the pizza work is ok if you need the cash, but if you have to use your own vehicle its really not worth it.

    I work in a British home furnishing store called Dunelm mill, mainly on customer services. also play drums at a semi pro level with a professional attitude. Music is what i want to make a living from but like other people i see here (dancers and so on) these kind of industries are hard to make a living from. kind of just need that one person to see you and take you to the top!!

    I am not even old enough to legally have a job here, so I just mow peoples yards. It is winter, and there is snow on the ground, so I haven't had any work since maybe November. I'm gonna try and get a jump on advertising here in march, when the grass starts growing again, before the big landscaping companies get their strangle-hold on this neighborhood and trick people into signing contracts for the whole summer. Hate those guys.

    i spent just over a year looking for a job applied a lot got no replies from half of them, all in all Dunelm have been real good to me so. i had to have a lot of time off in my first year, i had to have surgery on my knee after a mountain bike accident, they were so supportive ! :D i think the problem these days is so many people apply for any single job.

    Does everybody in the UK know each other or something? It's like everyone knows each town, and everything in that town. You people can always can relate to each other on a local level. Like if I said something about downtown knoxville, like let's say "Sure was a struggle having the Henley street bridge closed for such a long time, and that old baptist hospital right beside it sure is an eyesore on the waterfront", not a single person would know what I was talking about.
    I believe that is the dumbest rant I've ever been on.

    There is a cinema opening here with restaurants and all sorts on site too, the money for it was donated by some rich guy with the idea being it will create jobs to boost the local economy. New cinema = 3 new jobs in total, all the companies setting up on site are recruiting from within their own company and then replacing the old staff at their previous outlets so all in all has created more jobs elsewhere and none here. Well done....

    There is 3 careers going in my town right now. Ann summers party organiser, avon representative and then domino's have such a severe shortage of delivery drivers now that they may have to stop offering delivery soon, their interview process right now consists of bring in your proof of eligibility to work in the UK, drivers license and insurance for your vehicle and they'll send off for the badge immediately and get you back in the next few days to start a shift.

    Dunelm is a chain. Its like you saying you applied for walmart and someone else in another state even saying they applied for walmart (on that note I did apply for asda too who are owned by walmart). At the same time I think I read somewhere that a few US states are larger than the UK both in terms of population and land area.
