Introduction
This is Part 5 of a series of Company Hunts, which I decided and and on Saturday 13 February 2021.
Why did you complete a company on on Friday 05 March 2021?
As an active job seeker, I have to do what I can to look for suitable employment. Due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and without a laptop or internet, calling companies on Company Hunts is currently my main option for my job search.
As demoralising and frustrating as this is, I am NOT going to give up without a fight. I can do this.
What companies did you contact?
For Friday 05 March 2021, I contacted the following companies:
- ADI / UK Logistics Centre
- Damwar Windows
- DCL Print Ltd
- Fergussons Auto Service
- Hunter Penrose (Printing Industry)
- K&P Autos
- MV Trucks Ltd
- Prontapack
- Randstad
- Xpress Group
What vacancies were available?
4 companies had no vacancies, 2 of which were for the foreseeable future. 1 was a family run business and the other was struggling at the moment and does not have a warehouse.
Three telephone numbers kept ringing or had technical problems, and 3 telephone numbers were unrecognised.
Conclusion
Today’s company was officially worse than yesterday’s company Hunt.
Only 4 companies answered my calls today about finding suitable employment, which is a shambles, in my opinion. If a company deals with customers or clients, they need to pick up the telephone and provide excellent Customer Service. I appreciate that not every company is open due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, but to have a recorded announcement saying that they are currently closed would be much more beneficial than letting the telephone keep ringing.
With Thanks
I would like to thank those from the 4 companies who answered my telephone calls in regards to employment opportunities. Even though, none of you had vacancies available, I really do appreciate you answering your telephones and letting me know.
Thank you and stay safe!
