I read and hear so much about people wanting flexible working, and how so many people are stuck in dead end jobs, or on zero hours contracts.
But, I am involved in recruitment for two jobs right now, one a professional job in a lovely environment, as a part time job share. The other, a part time, flexible, admin job, again in a lovely office, with training and a good career if you want it.
And no decent applicants! No applicants for the first. Loads who have applied for the latter, but ecan't even attempt the basics forvan interview or trial (ie. turning up in time, dressing half smart, answer a phone).
Frankly, I despair. What are people doing? Where are they working/wanting to work?
These are different places, by the way, so it's not the particular environment.
