Tony Meolas Loan Spell said:Caz have you thought about taking Insurance Exams from the Chartered Insurance Institute?
That way you will be able to get knowledge of other insurance products, you could take the IF papers for instance. 3 of them gets you a recognised qualification in the industry - CertCII

Tony Meolas Loan Spell said:Tell me about it. My ACII didnt come cheap but I managed to get my various employers to pay.
In the days of FSA I thought they would be gfalling over themselves to get people qualified and the fact that by taking exams while you work there they gain from your increased knowledge as well...
caz99 said:yes thats what i want to do but it costs £500 roughly. I just cant afford it at the moment catch 22 really.
80's Seagull said:Got a similar problem myself at the moment. Need a job as current one is at a dead end, but can't find anything else for the same money. There's a couple of courses I want to do to help myself along but its goona cost me over a grand to do them. Apparently you can get a government loan for adult eductaion courses so may look into that.

All I did was give them my CV at a job fair and a few week later they called me up to send me to a job without even meeting me! They really worked hard for their money!

maffew said:Caz, is there much work anywhere in legal expenses insurance? Seems very specific.
Jimmy Saville said:I get very irate about these kind of comments as I work bloody hard to do a good job for companies and candidates alike.

You haven't been off this thread by the looks of things....
adrian29uk said:Becuase of Agencies general Health and Safety, motivation and care for the job has gone completely out the window especially in manufacturing and also by the looks of things nursing as well. These agencies are complete f***ing wankers sorry but they are. What are they really doing for the money?
just hiring a bunch of morons who have no engineering skills or cannot even speak english and making a profit out of them.
bhaexpress said:I don't know what you're looking for but I suggest you look at 'www.jobserve.co.uk'. That is used by a whole bunch of agencies so do get a choice.
I can say from probably more experience than most here that average agency usually employs people who went to uni and got a third. They'll tell you that you can screw their girlfriends, their wives and their mothers if they think they can make a bit of cash out of you.
I been around some real prats but the worst by far is MSB, the firm that was started up by Mr Goldberg. He is the one Palarse person that ALL Palarse will agree that he was and probably still is a prize wanker.
