    Hey Everyone,

    When applying to Vistakon or Stryker, is there an application online or do you just hand your CV in to reception?

    For Stryker, they have an online application for certain higher up jobs but for the general operatives positions you drop in a cv. Vistakon has all its positions advertised on their website jnj.com but you can just drop one in to reception too

    Can anyone share if it's a good place to work? What are the people like, what's the dress code, atmosphere, etc. Will be grateful for all replies.

    I've a few friends working there. It really depends on the department. Some of those love it... more of them (mainly in Customer Services... HATE it) but if you give me a dept. I can try get you more info! :)

    Anyone know why Holland and Barrett are advertising the same job from a couple of months ago again? Applied and didn't get it but it says they keep you on record for 6 months so not sure why it's being put up again and if I should just reapply

    Is it a horrible place to work or something?

    If there's one thing I learned over the years TheGunns companies rarely keep CVs on file and if they do they must never go looking at them again.

    Apply again. No harm in trying. Nothing to lose.

    I have applied for a couple of job bridge roles, in one place I was taken in for a days trial ( it was a piece of urine ) but never heard from them again

    Heard later they had a different person in each day for 2 weeks...
    some nice free labour there

    Congrats shaane,

    Do you mine me asking if you applied for a specific position or just emailed in a general cv.
    Thanks

    Cheers. I handed it in to reception in the factory itself and had it addressed to HR. Didnt apply for anything specific. No cover letter or anything. I don't think there's any email application as the jobs aren't exactly advertised. Word of mouth type of thing. You should drop one in anyway.

    As for the company holding your CV on file for 12 months, this is all true as I was called to do a second aptitude out of the blue after getting refused after the first test in January.

    Lucky! I got an email saying I was unsuccessful a couple of weeks ago even though I have more experience than what they're looking for and could have certainly proved myself in an interview. Would sacrifice a limb to work in HMV.

    Getting a bit downhearted with this lack of jobs thing, even the internships you have to be qualified to do the job even before you get a chance to do the internship :eek:

    It has only been 7 months but I don't know how people manage to keep sane after being out of work for years...I would go off my rocker

    It's very tough out there at the moment campo, but keep applying for jobs, don't lose faith, I was made redundant a four years ago, out of work for a full year, then a fas scheme, then a part time job in a kitchen, after six months promoted to manager.

    It was very hard road but if you keep plugging away and are prepared to take anything you will get something. I know its easier for me to say now, but trust me I have been there and it's not fun.
