Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

[wantacontract]

When at the Job Centre I gave them a piece of paper with my National Insurance number on it. They read it and said they would shred it. I queried why and she said you should NEVER give anyone your NI number except the Job Centre or your employer.

So here I am, applying for a permie role and a mandatory field is the NI number, as it always is on permie applications.

Except this is going through an agency, so they get it too.

And while I'm moaning, oh how I hate permie application forms. They take HOURS to fill in. And it is such a dull and boring thing to have to do.

horrible aren't they...council ones are even worse......

Get them to send you on an RPG III programming course.

It did wonders for me.

I'll teach you if you like - only £3000 (5 days). I'll even give you a certificate.

Seem to be more roles/vacancies out there today...

..or it could just be agents stuck at home with the snow and dusting down their job-creator-fishing toolkit
