When you start work get in touch with your HR department and get your proper tax code and ring the local tax people.

Emergency tax is about 25% which is too much to do without.

Congratulations and btw all tax suck balls.

Thanks all

Yes that is indeed the Halfords, just the the right and down a bit (slightly off that map) is the train station...I think that's the one I need to get to.
But as they can't get the satnav people in till next week, I start at my local store from wed till sunday, then up to norwich next week.

I'm a bit stumped about this tax, my mum seems to think that I start on emergency tax, and then they auto sort it out in a few months, put me on the correct code and then send me a rebate?
She says that there's no need to phone them as they sort it out....but I'm not keen on that method lol, I'd like to make sure that I'm put on the correct tax band asap.

I been thinking bout all the things I can buy lol, I'm used to £42.50 a week to buy my food and clothes, now I can pre-order fable 2...wooo

Congrats on the job


As for the pay, given you have never had a job and your what, 20-something now, I wouldn't ever complain about how much you're getting paid


I had no idea you and weirdwilli live so near me, I'm in Ipswich, so if you have to travel 'up' 25 miles to get to Norwich, you can't be that far from me


And weirdwilli, you can tell you're so young lol, who else would give out their home address, WITH A MAP no less lol, to the entire world?

Yes well done congrats think you deserved it after all the hard work you kept putting in. I remember the posts you put in here getting stressed. Its not always that easy to find a job these days despite what this bloody government goes on about. Did you ever hear of the story about the man who sent off over 1,000 applications and got nowhere. True story. Anyway stick with it even if you dont like it stay with it till you get something else. Good luck.

Thanks alot guys, yer it's really not very easy and even if I don't like this, touch I'm going to stick at it because I need to have a steady job, and in 3 months they upp my pay too so it's not all bad.
Aparently £5.70 an hour isn't *too* bad, so I'm not complaining

Ipswich for me is half way between me and London, so it's around 55 miles by car.

I was very suprised that they offered me a full time job considering I go away for 3 weeks, around Nov 15th to December 6th.
So I work there for 1 month, then take almost a month off, but he said it's not a problem at all, just that I really need to prove myself for this 1st month and show that I want this job.

Thing that I'm really pleased with was, he said "Me and dean had a talk and we both decided after your interview on tuesday that we were going to give you a job, we just needed time to work out whether it would be full time or part".

I can't wait to start playing with all the sat navs, I think he thought I was a bit strange when I said I love to just mess about with sat navs and other gadgets in my spare time lol.
I was going to mention how just last night I updated my f/w and got some usa maps for my sat nav...but I stopped before I mentioned the fact I downloaded them and then edited the registry files lmao.

My job will be to sell Garmin, Tom Tom, Navman, LG and Sony Satnavs, I will also have to sell In car Entertainment systems (hense the title ICT) such as dvd players and in car computers, any job where I get to talk to others about sat nav and computer features sounds good to me.

The first few days I will be nervous as I will be starting in 1 store for a few days, then starting all over again in another store, before being transferred back again to my local store, so it's like starting the same job twice.
I guarantee I will hate the first few weeks, I've always had really really bad experience with work placements etc, but I'm hoping that I can stick it out and work for once in my life.

One thing that I am annoyed about....How comes I get the whole year off, then I go on holiday and work full time just as Gears 2 and fable 2 come out

Sucks

Well done mate. Don't lose track of the service job though, that's not a job, it could be the full career stuff. I've been with the Ministry of Defence for 42 years and thinking of making it a career. Not quite make the mind up yet!
By the way, do you get any discounts on Garmin stuff? lol

lol apparently I do, but like other places, I have to wait a certain period of time before I get the discount.

But once I do, I'm more then happy to share the love
