Anonymous Employee in Southampton, England

Accepted Offer
Negative Experience
Easy Interview
Application

I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Ship's Photographer (Southampton, England) in May 2015

Interview

As they are absolutely desperate for staff (because nobody wants to work 13 hours per day NON STOP for 7 days per week for only £600 per month), they will take on anyone they can. you show them a few photos you have taken (I showed them on my phone), the next thing i knew I was hired.

UX Designer and Software Engineer

Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

Software Engineer

I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

Manager

Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
