Be proud of who you are and don't think too much about it and what people 'might' think. Clear your mind of that! I'm sure you'll be fine!

Job interview; I have an interview for a catering company as a delivery driver/porter?

Should i put on a suit and tie for the interview. Or something less formal. As the most part of the job will be driving. I will put a suit on, But do you think that is unnecessary as the roll will be an informal one.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

If you're smart and presentable, you'll make a much better first impression on them, and so a much better impression on their customers. You would be representing the company to the customers, so they want you to be able to project the right image.

If you think wearing a suit makes you look more professional, then do it for the interview. Little things, like washed hair, clean shaven, clean fingernails, might be perceived as unimportant, but they are noticed (subconsciously) by most people - your interviewers might not know quite why they liked you the best and you got the job, but it could be down to these "insignificant" factors.

• I would go with a long sleeve button up shirt, a tie, nice slacks, and dress shoes. A suit is probably unnecessary unless it is a very very high end catering service. Good luck.

Where can i find good Graduate Civil Engineering Recruitment Firms?

As a recent graduate of Civil Engineering from the university of warwick i was hoping i'd fall into a job. In hindsight this was a little naive but still it's a tad harder than i'd expected even after reassessing the situation.

What i'd like to know is, Do Engineering recruitment firms exist?

The kind which i can talk to in person and will help assess my CV and skills and assist with the hunt itself. I'm temping at the moment and the temping firm i'm with provides this service in order to find further placements, i merely want to know if they exist in a more permanent capacity.

Thanks

How much notice do I have to give?

I've been offered a new job at a new store opening and I'm unsure how much notice I have to give at my current employment. I'm currently on a 5 hour contract and I've written up a letter of resignation but I need to know when I can leave so I can add the date to it.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

if you mean 5 hours in one week, 1 weeks notice is all you need to give.

• I depends on company policies, all companies are different so you need to check what their policy on notice is. Its usually 2-4 weeks notice. But its best to check, If u cant check I would just say 4 weeks notice as it wont be any more than that, plus it will keep them happy!
• Legally, you are not required to give any notice. However, I would think that two weeks would definitely be enough to keep your current employer happy considering your position and hours of work.
• It should be in your contract of employment. If you don't have that, phone the HR department and ask them. Usually it's one month.
• It should be detailed in your written contract of employment. If you are paid monthly, it is usually one month.
• Most employers require between 2 & 4 weeks notice when leaving.
• i have found out over the years that if you get paid weekly then you give 7 days . monthly paid 30 days notice. they may even let you go before if you talk to them
• if you can, 2 wks is usually a good time to give..if not. 1 wk.

I'm a student and need advice on degree courses that suit private equity jobs or just high paying ones?

My A-levels aren't great and i dont have a lot of ucas points to work with (160) but i can get onto some HND business studies courses and convert them to degree courses after the first year. Im interested in private equity with deal making etc. But i dont know what course to go for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated or what firms etc would be the best point of entry

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I think you're looking a bit further down the line there. To be a private equity investor, you need to have money and expertise to invest.

To get all this money and expertise you really need to have had a successful business career running your own business otherwise you'll have no chance and nobody will take you seriously.

If it gives you hope, I failed all four A levels but did an HND then a degree and (15 years later) now own my own manufacturing company so the world doesn't end with poor A level results.

Possible routes would be pure Business Studies or Finance but I think it's better to have something with it e.g. I did Manufatcuring & Business Studies degree which tailored the business studies to a specific sector that I was interested in working in.

• I've read your questions and answers and I am prepared to answer this question.
  
  Clearly, you do not have the brain power for a job in private equity of anything high-paying.
  
  I recommend that you join the Army and maybe they will make you a private and teach you how to guard a doorway. You could make a career out of guarding doorways.

How much does a doctor get paid?

I'm so confused because there is such a large range. So if you're lovely enough to answer, please include details about which type of doctor and private/public :) Thanks! x

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

for the first few years they make very little, a rough guess is about 40 grand. But remember they are working at least 80 hours a week (so they make less than minimum wage) and they owe maybe 150,000 in student loans depending on where they went to med school.

So after an intern year and 2 or 3 years of residency they become fellows and the pay grows exponentially. Then after a fellowship they become attendings and thats when they make the big bucks, 200k a year (again an estimate depending on private/public and location).

Also. Being a doctor sucks. They spend 7 years in school, then the next 5 at the hospital all the time, so basically their 20s and early 30s are gone. They work extremely hard and are rarely appreciated.

• Yes it is a large range, depending of experience, location, specialitiy, level etc. Here is a list of salaries from the British Medical Journal, hope this helps. Of course if you are asking from outside the UK, this won't help at all, so sorry about that.

• Usually, doctors are paid with money. Some doctors are paid with chickens.
• Too much for what they do.
• I dont know, but all the doctors I know have good cars and BIG houses!!

Resolved Question

Contracts Manager Job, what is my chance of convincing employers I am good enough to get the job?

Hi

I have been advised by a recruitment agency that my career experience over the last 20 yrs would make me suitable for a contracts managers job, even though I have no formal qualifications in that sector.

My Background

Retail store manager 12 years, Auto electrical communications engineering 15 years, Stainless steel fabrication Manufacturing 5 years.

I have been in management most of this time and have been in sole charge of projects, procurement, Marketing, contract negotioations. I have been the main Director & CEO in 3 small limited companies for several years too.

My own opinion is that I have worked for big corporations and small companies and have been involved in every area of business so I will be able to learn and blend into the role easily to be a good contracts manager. I like organising, being involved in decision making, responsibility and meeting new people.

I have changed my previous job titles on most of my CV to Contracts manager in order to attract interviews from companies.

Am I expecting too much to be able to secure a job as a contracts manager without big company experience or qualifications?

Any tips or advice appreciated.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Your experience is certainly wide ranging and very business focused.
Everything is reliant on your CV being a good one.

Incidentally I Teach employability skills which includes CV writing.
I will be happy to give it the once--over.
