Argos online test for job, fail!

[dubletrub]

I honestly think it is a lack of work experience on his CV. If from finishing uni he has only briefly had 1 job people who go through the CVs may be questioning his work ethic. I think if he volunteers somewhere he will have a greater chance of finding paid work as he is showing willing.
Please don't think I am saying he is lazy but the people who go through applications will have a criteria that they use to look quickly through a pile.

I’m not racist, so sorry but you don’t know me, I do have black friends and East Asian heritage, Spanish, Dutch, Irish and English. We are a real mixture but I am only trying to figure out why he isn’t getting a job. We can’t all agree I’m afraid and what a boring world it would be if we did!

I just don’t understand, Primark turned him down, Nandos said they would be in touch in five days and didn’t bother so he emailed them. He’s also waiting to hear from Asda’s. Oldest ds went through his cv and changed it and is now much better. I worked in retail many years ago and it wasn’t this hard! I am looking at apprenticeships but some won’t take him because he has a degree. Please answer with help not to have a go!

When I was made redundant I tried and m&s online application and was turned down. I think I tried to over think it. Choosing the ‘correct ‘ answers which obviously weren’t what they were looking for.


I did agency work, getting a long term placement and then a permanent job from my first contract.
