Back in July I had enquiries all the time and was even able to be picky! i signed two mindees. Since then I have had complete timewasters.
People who phone and make appointments then dont show. Others who come, ask to sign there and then...I might say perhaps we should both think about it and make another appointment for contracts and then I never here from them again. Or there are those who phone up 5 mins before they are due to visit and say they have changed their minds about going back to work. Finally those who dont work out my location before booking an appointment only to discover they are 45mins away from me ..doh!
All the potential after schoolies seem to be being swallowed up in the super cheap After School Club and right now I am surviving on one part timer and an as and when contract. I need more mindees.
Sorry for the rant but I am sooo frustrated. Every day I am checking email and ansaphone messages but nothing is happening., I have sent posters and cards to local businesses with large work forces, I have put cards in sainsburys, Tesco and the library. I have advertised on Net Mums, Gum Tree.
What else can I do?
