This, or why not try and get some agency work for a bit? might not be glamorous but would give you some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Moon Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 So you're not unemployed...because you're employed by the tandoori. Can you do more hours there?I'd rather pimp myself out than do more hours there. This, or why not try and get some agency work for a bit? might not be glamorous but would give you some cash. Agency work in what sector? most care ones you have to be 18 and i need to pay for my PVG which i cant afford right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Moon Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can you not get a temp shop job over Christmas?i,m more likely to start before Christmas. even doing weekends would do me right now as im not contracted for weekends at the unit so i could keep that up and leave the tandoori, even if it is just a shop.

Hotels will be gearing up for Xmas and always need extra staff on an ad hoc basis. Or retail as mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really worth it for them.Why is your PVG taking 8 weeks? It's usually only 2 weeks at most for an application to get progressed.

KarmaTsunami Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 So that RPS rejection was the kick up the butt I needed it seems. Filling out applications to study for an SCQF Level 5 qualification in Maths so I can go do my PGDE in Secondary Education next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 OR MAYBE NOT because apparently you can't just get an Int 2 in Maths by starting in November. So, let's amend that to looking into equivalent Maths qualifications to maybe start my PGDE in 2016 if not next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettthain1 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've been through 3 different interviews for Apple which has been over a month in the process. I've left my job last week and working at a cafe for the meantime as a supervisor. Which is different...Apple would be my main goal as I've got experience in that field and love it as a day job. I had to leave my old work due to poor management and being mistreated unfairly.I had my 3rd interview over a week ago and was told if hear back within a week, should I call up the interview over the interest of my interview or leave it? The last thing I want to do is call up and sound a bit 'desperate?'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you will hear either way regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colb Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 You won't receive a P45 until after your last pay, so it could well be on it's way to you now. If you don't get that you can fill in a P46 which will stop you being emergency taxed. Apple will likely have them, or you can pick one up from the job centre in town.

scottyboy Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Nope, it's for teaching here. I see. Either way, for someone serious about a teaching career and who has the stamina to get the prerequisite PGCE and 2 years experience in the motherland, getting an international school job in a middle-income part of Poland is probably the cushiest route available, IMHO. Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 You mean doing that instead, or looking at it afterwards? There are lots of places you can teach if you get onto the International School circuit (my mum teaches at the one in Aberdeen) but one of my main concerns besides cushiness is whether or not my partner and I would feel welcome in the country/area.

So, let's amend that to looking into equivalent Maths qualifications to maybe start my PGDE in 2016 if not next year. You may not require this advice, but as an embittered twice-declined applicant to a PDGE, I would strongly recommend using the next year or two to gain as much experience working with relevantly aged children as you can. You may already have stack loads of experience as it is, but it's something the application assessors value highly. Good luck! More people in the world ought to be taught by Sleater-Kinney fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 What did you get turned down for, i'm wanting to apply but feel I may not get onto the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eupraxia Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I applied twice for entry to a PGDE in primary teaching, and both times I was given the same reason - my lack of demonstrable experience working with children, which I can accept as quite fair. My second application was submitted at a time when I had arranged two weeks at Ferryhill Primary to assist on a voluntary basis, but it was scheduled for a time marginally after the application was due, and they again declined my application. In hindsight, I don't think I'd have made a particularly good teacher, so it was probably for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
