We all talk about how we can improve security in aviation, well listen here..........
I went for an interview with a security company based at Heathrow. Just before the interview started, but in the interview room, the interviewer said to me "I think before we start I had better tell you about the pay and conditions, as you look like the kind of person that would not be interested after I tell you." Well, I went for this interview all dressed up and keen, as I have been out of work for a while, but when she told me, I couldn't help but laugh. She continued to tell me the pay and conditions....
.... £4.25 during the 3 weeks training and for the first 6 months, rising to a maximum of £5 after 1 year, inclusive of shift allowance!
I had to pay for car parking - £38 per month and if I left within the year I would have to repay the cost of training - £500! The shifts are variable covering a 24 hr period. She then handed me the paperwork and told me, go home and think about it but I don't expect to hear from you!
All in a very joking manner!
Now I am not a snob, I needed a job! But what kind of security personnel are they going to get on those terms?
I was gobsmacked!
I didnt take the job by the way.
I thought I might share this with everyone, sorry if I have bored or offended you.
Regards
