i started a 4 week training placement in February, i loved it that much that i am still there 7 months later, not because i have to be but because i choose to be, i get no expences paid, no bus fares, no dinner but i'm not moaning about it, i love being able to get out and meet new people, this will not lead to any permanent work from them but it is doing a lot for my self esteem, although i am on the dole i can hold my head high and say i don't sit on my arse 24/7
What i am saying is if i do a months work for nothing, my time would have been better off spent searching for a job that actually pays you at the end of the week.I mean for all i know he could have someone on trial every month just to keep his insurance down.It doesnt sound good tho does it after a few minutes the boss is saying he's trying to get his insurance costs down does it.
