some companies only hire through recruitment agencies

So are u scared of competition

i'm scared that my CV won't be read in a pile of 500

they'll read my CV in a pile of 20

@The woken child I wanted to serve too but then I started learning about ancap.

What is ancap?

To each their own but a position that is acquired though a agency only is more than likely a position u will not want to stay at

true @thadeal4real - they also take a decent cut out of ur pay

Yeah temo agency suck.... Only go through them if you arr desperate.

the vast majority of recruitment agencies deal w/high turnover positions n the better the position the more u will owe...

If have to keep looking for another job.... Because they will never keep you.

i'm currently working as a waiter/kithcen porter and got a phone call from a company i applied to through indeed about a "Junior Implementation & Support" asking me more about myself and then i've got an interview booked on Friday - this role is amazing and i guess i'm just nervous seeing as, because i didnt go through an agency, that there'll be a lot of competition

I used to always keep two jobs. That's the only **real** job security there is. Then I realized it's just better to work for yourself.

my dream future career is in software dev so this job sounds amazing

How do you work for your self?

@MufflePuff unless ur self employed a biz owner or investor

Start a business. Build a hustle. Whatever you can do that you will like to do **that makes money**.

this role sounds amazing

@JDB just remember THEY called YOU

true @thadeal4real - i'm super excited for the interview seeing as i don't need to prepare as i can just be myself and show them how interested i am

I might need me a mentor.

i havent told my family incase i get rejected - any tips on doing well at an interview? idk whether to bring my laptop to show them my portfolio

@The woken child don't be afraid to pay for one. Free education is free for a reason. It will likely take you 10x as long if you try to do it on your own.

Don't cheap out. **Also note, most people won't last 10x as long**.

I'm kind of homless

@JDB jus put ur best foot forward n b urself... if they don't like u they won't keep u

You said it be calm cool collected and yourself get them to see a side of yourself don’t be a spaz just cause your excited and don’t be afraid to ask them ?s or even requests

@The woken child honestly that means nothing.

@ziyauren great advice thanks man

The struggle is real with me.

@thadeal4real ty man

@The woken child you can pay with your time and energy. You can apprentice for free.

Where can i start?

That depends on what it is that you choose to do. You have to figure that out.

You're online so you should start with Google.

I'm rnning out of ideas.

Running*

Chances are you're running out of patience first. There are millions of options. Maybe be more creative.

Could you help me with it?

i'm going to take the next 2 days off work at my current place so i can prepare and then go in on the Friday - what kind of things do you recommend i prepare for? i was going to go through the job advert and make sure i understand the role thoroughly

Like what would be a goid start for me?
