Re: The Tesco & Other non-Morrisons Supermarket Thread

So I work about right next to Tesco Tooley Street which is a concept store (which basically means they refurbish it in some way every three months). The latest additions are a "Harris and Hoole" coffee shop, which utilises some of the previously dead space on the upper level, and a "...

Re: Getting over Grief

My Grandad passed away this Monday just gone, and i'm struggling with how to feel. I was close to my Grandma, who I lost in 2007, but my Grandad was always there and I never truly realised how much I'd miss him until he's gone. I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that I no longer have any ...

Re: Finding a job in a recession

Well I actually find it to be the opposite - certainly the past 4 1/2 years anyway. Recent graduates are off-putting to many production companies (except for the BBC), as they come into the industry thinking they know about everything already and most companies like to take people from scratch and s...

Re: Finding a job in a recession

Bla I am a Researcher and have worked for all the major production companies... But most things are either in Glasgow these days or are already crewed up with people that are so hungry for the job they will do a million other things that isn't even in their job description.

Re: Finding a job in a recession

Out of interest, as someone who has started in TV and manged to do rather well so far, what did/do you do? It's certainly true theres less work out there at the moment and production budgets are so short its unbelieveable. It depends who you're in with really, diffrent production companies treat pe...

Re: Finding a job in a recession

I know exactly what you mean Gavin. Maybe in a few years time, in a more stable time, TV might become desirable to me again, but I think at the minute I'm just tired of all the uncertainty - and as much as I love it it doesn't lend itself to a 20-something wishing to get a mortgage and a car and get...
