Today [10]

[Dinesh]

I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day and I have to sign-on at the Jobcentre a bit later.

All the best for your job interview.

It's not a job interview it's signing to get his unemployment benefit payment.

Must have been the Christmas Fairy

I find this daily ritual both bizarre and strangely hilarious.

I try to unsubscribe but find myself sneaking back to watch it like a car accident.

I wonder how one finds out if someone we've grown to care about might be in some (unmentionable, perhaps embarrassing) way incapacitated. Just ask?

 

[JimJoe]

Just ask I suppose.

I tried Carreer builder a few years ago. Some of the job listings I got showed the person sending me the job info didn't read my resume. They offered me computer jobs for software I never heard of.

 

[gregrocker]

Carl, do you have any type of certifiable disability?

There is absolutely no shame involved to say you do.

Nor do you need to certify it to us, explain further, or even answer.

Interesting. As I know wellingtons as a type of half-height leather boots.

Y'all hafta unnerstand, JimJoe. Them thar UK folks never could git a handle on talkin' English right. Doncha know. :roflmao:

Trouble is you Colonials don't read your English history like what you should. Then you would have heard of the Duke of Wellington. Yes we had a member of the aristocracy who was name after a boot!

and a Rock Group called the "Beatles!"

 

[Carl Lawrence]

I signed-on OK and I found a job to go for. The job is Computer Sales Assistant at a Computer Shop in Hastings.

 

[gregrocker]

Do you have any sales experience? If not, knowing computers well can be sufficient if you are good at communicating with clients to learn their needs and make smart suggestions.

The best salespeople get to know the client, asking the right questions then listening closely. If a PC customer believes you are interested in them and their needs, you may have a client for life.

Dress sharply, smile and assure them you are an active daily member at the top tech help forums on the web.

You can always pose the questions of your clients here to get added expertise. I do this and amaze mine at the wealth of information to be had, often in real time.

 

[pebbly]

Follow gregs advice Carl and the jobs yours

 

[mjf]

Dress clean and tidy. Be friendly and knowledgeable but not a smart a..
How would you go about selling:
Try to understand what they need the PC for and try to explain technical issues in average lay person terms. If you sense the customer is a bit tech savvy then crank it up a notch.

I suppose it is better named after a Wellie.

Could have been the Duke of Rubbers. :shock:

I'm rather fond of the Earl of Sandwich myself

I know about the Duke and his battle with Napolean at Waterloo. I read lots of history books.

They battled in the water loo?

Must have been a whizzin' contest. :shock:

No wonder he had his Wellies on.
