this club - prentious and rude when it comes to prospective employees

[1066gull]

At the risk of completely jeopardising my prospects to ever work for this club I want to bring to your attention this club has towards treating prospective employees. In my opinion they are insulting and devious but you can draw your own conclusions. I had an interview for the role of a match day assistant. Nothing else disclosed about what it involves, I do my own research which is standard of me. Arrive smart, on time and courteous. Moment I arrive to speak I am am immediately put on a pedal stool. I explain my initial expectations, which is what I think is assisting with the events of matches around the crowd. I was not corrected of this and then questioned about my knowledge of cleaning which I knew pretty well as I've been one in the past. When I then ask what I will be doing they say I will clean after matches. I am sorry but I find this utterly rude to not disclose this in the first place, it's disgraceful. I've been getting auditions and interviews for positions of 15k and I felt like the club are manipulating people to get one over. They were interviewing several prospective employees many whom appeared older and greater experience on me. To ask people to come out for a minimum wage skill is just rude. Frankly if this is how they treat potential new staff god knows how they treat their current staff. I will not be picking up someone's poo in the toilets. No pun intended.

Rant over

Prentious?

Once this club was award winning for work in the community. I just wonder what on earth has changed to waste people's time and efforts

You think that being asked to interview for a cleaning position is beneath you? Who the hell do you think you are?

After this I sympathise with Gus

did I say that? No. I clearly did not expect it to be one. If I were to clean for 6 pound an hour I can do so for my neighbourhood, not 35 miles away. Who advertises cleaners as 'match day assistants'. Is being dam right devious but after Poyet's current treatment maybe this is standard practice

Not to mention how to read, he probably thought he would be assistant to OG

Read the job description next time maybe? There's nothing devious about it.

Maybe you should have cleaned the pedal stool to show how good you are (or not)

Perhaps you would do better reading the full role profile rather than just the job title.

And it is not the clubs fault that you live 35 miles away is it. I presume you were not headhunted for the role.....

 

[Stat Brother]

I have no idea what's going on.

 

[Chicken Runner61]

Serious question :What did you think cleaning equipment, facilities and building fabric meant then?

They forced you to apply for a position and travel 35 miles? Yeah that's pretty terrible.

Wait...hang on, it was your own choice? You mean...you mean you went for an interview, didn't like the position offered and have decided that it's beneath you?

Obviously, the club must be at fault. Not meeting your standards of employment, or stating that it will involve *shudder* 'cleaning' is a travesty, how dare they not be offering you what you want!

Also, 'pedal stool'. Seriously?

Looks pretty clear to me, clearly the OP didn't bother to read it properly when applying in the first place.

How dare you and anybody else question my ability to read. I know what I read and here is the advert.

Up north any vacancies for cleaners being paid £7.50 an hour would have attracted hundreds of applicants for each job going.
