opas Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yesterday Mr 0 went for an interview. He was given a slot for 3pm. Left home in plenty of time for the 20 min drive(2.15 ish). He returned home at 7,15pm.....and no he hadn`t visited the bar!A bit of hand on experience was required to demonstate that he could do the work with his eyes closed, there were 6 other candidates who all had to prove the same experience.Then Into the office for what I can only describe as an Induction talk which went on for over 2 hours.What was the possision you ask yourself(unless you know Mr O).....very highly skilled HGV driver class 1 with all the necessary passes for French driving....but the job is a temp vacancy for 4 weeks!He set his tacho and backed on to a loading bay and drove around a roundabout and back to the depot in less than 5 mins!Is this the longest interview ever?

opas Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Following the 5 hour interview,I recieved 2 phone messages last week for Mr O(he was away) neither of which I could understand as the person making them was a monotoned ,bored stiff functionaire and muttered into the phone, I got the general drift of who he was( the phone no was a givaway!!) today Mr O decided, after getting the engaged signal for 2 days , to visit the company as he didn`t want his allocation to be stopped through lack of effort.He met the `tranport manager` in the hope that all these well paid jobs had been taken, only to be sent to the`Medicin de travaile` for a medical. OK why not ...insurance for the job etc. Medical went ok ,except for he is now invited ,free of charge to go for a examen de pulmonary(sp) due to a past chest/breathing infection......still no certain job offer, which is only going to be tempory. watch this space!Do we take it that most of the other people sat waiting who did`nt look 100% are being examined because they are long term sick?Ps , didn`t he do well, he has grown 2 cms in the past 3 years (last medical) ...no he is not a child he is over 40!!
