Advertising for an Assistant

[Nix]

Oh dear. I wonder if my forum friends can offer some advice. I am in need of an assistant... I had an Apprentice but sadly she has left as we had a falling out! She wasn't doing her course work and when I discussed it with her she said she wanted to to work in a Nursery.

I have an advert on Direct.gov and I've had lots of applications, few of which are worth considering. I've interviewed two people. One was great but has a daughter and I do not have space for her! The second seems to be messing me around with excuses that are currently preventing her from doing a 'working' interview.

So... where would you suggest I advertise?

Or do you know anyone in Surrey who would be interested!

Your thoughts would be much appreciated...

Maybe a local newspaper. Some have a special weekly jobs supplement.
Hope you manage to find someone soon

Sounds daft but I hadn't thought about a newspaper. I never buy one!

Thanks

I'll come and work with you!

Have you tried your local college? They might have someone almost ready to leave who is interested in walking straight into a job.

Yipeee my search is over...

If only you could!

I could try the colleges. I have had one girl approach me looking for a work placement. I just wasn't sure of her literacy skills
