I just had an interview with lexus for a porter job and it seemed to go well he said that he needed to send it to the head office to do a backgorund check and then the would call me back in for a drug test. So how long is it going to take before they get back to me to take the drug test i hate waiting i just want to know around when i can expect to hear back from them and start this new job?

I am planning to apply locally to a hospital in west London, either through the job centre or the nhs or in the particular hospital. I would be after a hospital porters' job and i would really like it for the evenings, from 6-late perhaps. Can anyone tell me if this is possible, as the NHS web site is too vague.

Many of the chronic unemployed will not apply for jobs the illegals take willingly. Would you be in favor of passing legislation requiring the chronic unemployed to get off their duffs and apply for jobs rather than have tax payers continue to take care of them.

I want to become a chef and I am very interested in learning about cuisines from all over the world! I have been researching online foods from my own country Scotland, Italy, and Mexico so far. It's great that so many different cuisines are available. But anyway, back to the main reason I asked this question. I need certain grades to get into college which I don't have and plus I've been told by someone who's a chef that your better off being trained up in a kitchen porter's job, that way it's more experience in a real kitchen. I'll not keep going on, so I've said it. Give me answers. If you know of any hotels or whatever also, let me know so I can send them in my CV. As well as that, I couldn't find an appropiate category to put this question in, hopefully this is the right one. Thanks!
