The good thing about having a job is that it looks better to a future employer than looking for one without one.:D

Exactly ..... As an ex employer of 25 people I did all the interviews for new staff, and it was always good to see that someone was working sucessfully somewhere and had a good work ethic.

You may find it boring, but as someone else mentioned, tell your boss that you have found the work very easy and would like something more as a challenge. It will only stand you in good stead, as he will be impressed. Maybe you'll find yourself shooting up the promotional ladder over people there who are much less interested in job satisfaction.

you are all aware that me and the family are back, and as most know i now have a job :(
Thing is i dont really like it and i dont want to do it, would you say i should try a bit longer or get out while i can.

I have only been working 2 and a bit weeks and already i am left on my own in the office, they trust me to work etc etc but i am so bored and not in to it.

I am not sure if i ever will like it so should i stay on or go.

please advise

love to all
miss n :wub:

How much do you need the money comes to mind :blink: Not sure anyone can answer your question without knowing your circumstances. Old cliches like if you aint happy leave dont pay the bills etc. Good luck whatever you decide but surely two weeks is not enough time to make a well thought through decision is it :confused:

Now this is the key for me. What a chance to make a position your own. My bet is the boss is knows things are amiss and may well be sitting back watching and waiting how you get stuck in, or not as the case may be! :thumbsup:

I'm with Smarties on this one - I would love a job like that :) I am an organiser and would enjoy the challenge :p

Well after much thought and worry, and talking to Mr N i am going to quit.
it is a hard decision however we are going to startup again like we did before the uk.

It is really hard working for someone else after having a business before we left, however we feel it right to start again which means i have to help run everything and sort out advertising and looking for new people.

I feel horrible about giving a job up but one i did not like it, it was not run good enough and yes i was asked if i wanted to change things i could.
However i looked at we could be lining our own pockets and starting again rather than someone else's.

I know i might end up regretting this decision however before we left for spain we was doing well so more of a case of knocking on old contacts doors etc etc.

Anyway we are moving in to our own place tomorrow well rented so that should keep me busy for a while.

Anyway Love to you all

I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean, but it comes across to me as rude, insulting and boardering on the nasty.

For someone not remotely involved in Miss N's decision to make such a comment shows a total lack of respect and henceforth it leads me to discount anything 'Douglas jack' writes.

Miss N, I think you've been candid and open in trusting to ask for views on what is obviously for you, a dilemma.

I'm glad you've made a decision and I think I would do the same, because I've worked for myself or run businesses for so long I find it very hard to imagine being able to do a 'proper' 9-5 especially if I'm not motivated and challenged and enjoying it.

Also, I think your current boss will understand and respect your reasons, and the fact you're not dragging it out means he can recall other candidates that didn't get the job, presuming there were more than just you :)

So, good luck and best wishes to you and your hubby. It sounds to me as you two are fighters and will make a good go of it - remember, the fun is not in the winning but in the attempt!

Only you and Mr N will know what is best for the naughty household, so I wish you all the best and I hope things work out for you and the move into your new home goes off smoothly for you. Lets hope things settle down for you quickly and it starts to feel like home for you soon.

Crispy
Xx
