Re: Job Centre

I checked out the firm I am going to see on Monday ..yes they have a website , the address tallies with the one i was given ...however the description of the job does not ..the equipment range to be refurbished does not ..the ad stated phones, cameras, satellite, receivers, dvd players,microwaves ...the website mentions none of these ..just phones ....So last night i thought i would find the firm so i didnt have to waste time looking on Monday ..I found the address ok it was 7 mls from home took 15 minutes to get there ,and on a small industrial estate, but very strange that a company who advertised as supplying to the word did not have a sign or name on the premises...Now i got to go for a 3hr work assessment on Monday and was told to wear jeans and T shirt and to bring my Bank details so i could get paid for it ...Perhaps i am being paranoid but i think i am going be a bit wary ..I will make sure the bank details they get is a old empty account .....
