Just had to turn down an interview with Zen internet due to transportation.

It's based in Rochdale which is about 2 hours + on public transport...

Garp did ask why I wouldn't relocate and to be honest at the moment I just cannot afford it and I need a car.

Anyway...what a bugger.

Would the wages have allowed you to get a car?

Cars are very handy

As kitten said, there'll be other jobs nearer to home.

It's a long way anyway, my boss commutes around 2 hours each way per day to Rochdale. It's not fun. Plenty of work in t'pool and manc (not to mention warrington) to keep you busy

I didn't get either of the phones

So ner

Booo!

My contract is up soon so I'll probably get a new one then.

Well I have been invited for the final part of the interview.

I'm happy with that - but I think I'll try and get something closer.

Zen have said they'll keep my application open, so if I apply in future I can skip and go straight to the assessment day.

Cool not bad

Good luck either way.
