Boycie Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's about appearance and meeting the expectations. If they are prepared to do a half-arsed job applying then how much effort will you get if you hire them? Also bear in mind some applicants don't want the job, but are expected to show they've made some effort in trying. I'd guess Mr/Mrs No CV doesn't want your job but doesn't want to lose their benefits either.good point well made, don't you have to apply for 30 odd jobs a month or summart?

Isn't there some kind of list what reliable builders are on? I'm sure I've heard it mentioned a few times on Cowboy Trap. Grimsby council should be able to help?

Srg Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think you should invite these three for an interview at the same time... make them fight until the death.
