Long and arduous. Didn't exactly ring the bells of coffee work, seemed like I was applying for admin. Didn't understand the managerial part. Do recommend weekly pay. Try Costa or Nero instead.

Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
