Recruitment is swift at The Old Buttercross Marstons Pub.

This post is for the benefit of Oakham Town Councils Clerk and his mob  of Councillors
and friends at Rutland County Council. Who describe me as a dole bludger for claiming
£72 a week JSA.

One of my Rutland County Councillors included claims a much larger allowance
to turn up and walk out of meetings

The Town Clerk is currently receiving over £2,000 a month to sit at home doing nothing.
I used to say I am sure the Mayor Jayne Woodcock who work for the NHS as a manager
based in Leicester would not tolerate such waste of public money.
That was until I saw last nights news report where  Leicester NHS was report to have
one of the highest levels of staff on sick leave due to stress and mental illness. So
its no surprise She and her deputy put his rudeness, arrogance and incompetence
down to Mental Illness or Stress.



Last night I spotted job advert for the new pub located in Barleythorpe Oakham.

I registered via Marstons Web Site:

So many large companies use these crap time consuming automated recruitment systems.

Only last month I applied for six jobs at Tesco and all "were given very careful consideration"
in less than five minutes of sending.

I like the tesco site because it remembers all your answers previously given and gives
you option to re-use them, which I do because the answers given secured me a interview
last year and a chance to build a paper tower and tidy the produce department for no
pay. If I had not gain an interview then I think it would have been wise to change my
answers. Personally I think getting past these automated recruitment systems is a
bit of a lottery.
