Im currently working in Van Sales. I hate it. 4 am starts and getting home at 4.30pm. The last couple of years I have been suffering with anxiety attacks. 95% of the time im fine but I would love to get a job I enjoy that when I walk out the door in the evening I can leave behind.

Just wondering what is the best way to get a job with these I check their websites but there does rarely be any retail jobs advertised. Could you hand your cv into a local branch or would i be wasting my time.

I would even have no problem doing a job bridge /intern programme either.

I worked for PP in their customer service department when I was a student. I felt it was unethical so I quit. ("Don't ask they problem gamblers if they have a problem because you'll have to close their account!", etc.)

They treated their staff well though.

ThinkAboutIt

once had dealings with paddy power about getting a job, very very unprofessional outfit and if you don't like pressure either would avoid their head office. working in retail shops would be fine though.

I've worked for PP and ladb,PP very good to work for very very fair, the staff that work in the shops are mostly long termers, jobs don't come up much in the shops but if I was you I'd apply to PP head office And keep looking at there website. Handing in your cv to shops won't get you any where.
Ladb ..... Rubbish wages rubbish staff morale in shops rubbish everybody out for themselves plenty of hangmen/women working there, don't send in cv only go in the bin send to head office.
Boylesports..... Heard there just like ladb.....
Try getting into PP if you can

Cheers thanks for that. Id 100% do an intern/jobsbridge position with them if it meant getting a full time role in the future.
