i probably am being un reasonable but cant help think he'll mess everything up if he does!

My sister said to me 2mths ago to ask DH about finding out about a vacancy at DHs work for BIL.

I told DH and he said what I thought
'He won't be able to do that job'

Anyway last night DH said that the company are advertising for DSO engineers again (what DH does) so told sister. She's text me this morning saying 'ask DH for number for BIL for job'

I'm waiting on DH getting back to me with the number but I can't help but think if BIL goes for this job, he won't last it out or he'll get sack :/

A few weeks ago DH did my mums aerial for her (that's what he does) BIL said 'do you need any help?' DH said 'he'd get it done fast if he could help feed the wire to where he needed it.

As soon asa DH removed the loft hatch BIL was gone, back over home gardening (sister live across from mum) I said to BIL when I realised where he was, and he said 'I don't like lofts or ladders'

But yet he wants to apply for a postition which is a Digital Aerial Engineer - he's going to be using ladders 8/10 a day!!!

I think they are being a bit cheeky and presumptuous asking you and your DH to get them to the front of the queue, tbh. I know it goes on a lot but I think expecting it is wrong. Also are they too lazy to google the company name or look in the phone book? it sounds a bit like they have a massive sense of entitlement and your fears are probably justified. Can't you just say to your sister that the boss hates nepotism and give them the phone number and leave it at that?

I was on the phone to her, her co alarm was going off last night and DH mentioned it so she heard and I repeated what dh said!

Also bil said when the carbon monoxide alarm was going off bil asked if
'They should call the non emergency police line

What a tit!

I have give her the link on fb to the company careers page, its up to him if he fills in the form.

I won't be getting involved from now, I'm wairting for the 'what does this mean phonecall.

I'd leave it at that. If he's as much as an idiot as you suggest it won't do your DH any favours to have been associated with his trying to get a job. And if he's a literate adult he can apply himself.

If there is a job vacancy being advertised there is nothing to stop him from applying.

If he asks DH to put in a word DH can simply say to his boss "this man is my BIL but you should use your own judgement on who to interview/hire and I don't expect any special treatment".

You've done ehat your sister asked. Don't have any more involvement, and stay out of it from now.

Would love to hear what happens though.

I'd give him the details but let know that it could hinder him if he mentions DH's name. Just say something like "people don't like it if they're trying to get a foot in the door through friends and family". It's probably the truth. That way your DH won't have any comeback if he is a total waste of space. :)

Dh doesn't see his boss he has an area manager he works from home, works is sent to his pda and he sorts it himself its like a self employment role but they pay wages ands sort out jobs.it says on the form where did you hear about us he can choose employee but we aren't giving them dh engineer number.

Why would your sister leave her job if her partner gets a job?

good idea no comeback to you and DH :)

Is his name frank spencer

where did you hear about us

Tell him to put facebook. That question is to monitor their advertising strategy.

I agree with what AandK's suggestion about how mentioning your OH could work against him. Then leave him to it.

If he loves gardening why doesn't he do that?

Cos the wage is piece work and they know dh gets paid in the region on £1600 per mth so she wouldn't have to work in her mind! She thinks cos I'm a sahm she can be cos of the potential wage but they pay double the rent we do so won't be better off iykwim?

DH has just said bil probably won't get passed interview stage before the 2 weeks training away.

And the thing has happened what we was waiting for!

She rang to tell me she got the form but bil doesn't have CV on pc amd her laptop is broke and mums is knackered so could I do his CV fill form in and send it

Cheeky bitch! Iv told her to get themselves down to the library!!!

Good for you saying no. She really is a cheeky bitch.

I can't stand it when people expect everything to be handed to them on a plate by somebody else.

Yes get to the library!!! So cheeky

How did she take that?

She just sighed! Then I said I had to go as had kids to sort out so she just said Bye! Haha

I am not doing everything for her, she expects me to say how high when she says jump!!

Bleeding cheek!!

Good for you! Like you're not busy enough!

i have a sis like that :( i spent years mollycoddling her then last november told her to 'do one' as she is 3 yrs older than me has a man of ten years and two kids to look after surely she doesnt need me to run around after her and have her nosy into my life on a regular basis she wasnt happy and we didnt speak for months now we might have a 22 min chat at school gates but nothing more than that on my insistence, some family members need to be told straight im not suggesting you do this btw lol :) telling her to do it herself was something i never couldve done your totally right in not wanting to recommend him he seems dimmer than a 40 watt bulb tbh

2 min not 22 jeez i couldnt listen to her for that long!!!

Exactly! He is dimmer than a 40 watt bulb lol first time I heard that!

She not been in touch today at all!

lol my OH came out with it earlier about his boss its stuck in my head now im guessing she'll have gotten the hint there then? be a bit of peace for you now lol
