Thank you but after I emailed 53 and had no response the next day emailed stating I had a family death that evening so would not be around but would still like to send my CV for future opportunities if the position was filled by then and still no response. To me it's just common Curtis to reply even if it's to say sorry for your loss

Hi Sue Thank you for the lovely message, I feel it would be unjust to name and shame then business is hard enough and it was my problem feel that this subject should be out there saw today in paper a very qualified gentleman age 43 applied for 400 jobs with no success he ended up putting a plackared attached to him advertising himself he's now happy in a company. Terrible Gaynor

Hi Nigello To be honest not worth my time and I really would not report them I have not even named shop as I feel this would be unjust to them business is hard enough they have lost a loyal monthly customer and would I not want to work for someone who can not be bothered to email back after stating my age, when I had my business for 25 years I always rang prospective employers even if they did not get the position.just rude not to. I was just in shock as this has never happened to me before and I stared work at 14 years old as a Saturday girl and have worked since decided to take a month out before putting CV out so this was only first one will start again in a month with all things going on Thanks Gaynor

Fully understand what you are saying jools and boo but firstly when prospective employer wishes CV only I respect this also I emailed could I send CV for future employment if they had fulfilled the position. Working in liberty and John Lewis as account manager you have to have excellent customer service and grooming you also get mystery shopper which I think is great Gaynor

I understand what you are saying Mark I have had my own business to in hairdressing but they wanted CV only I have worked all my life and just wanted a local job as fed up with commuting Gaynor

They emailed me within 2 hours to ask age and have had a couple of days to reply but thanks for the advice Gaynor.

I applied for a retail position this week in a family business in lordship lane in retail I could not upload my CV on the sight it was advertised so did a cover letter stating I have worked in Liberty's and John Lewis W1 and have excellent customer service and extensive knowledge of the products they sell could I send CV direct. I had a email asking me my age which is 53 to which I sent, had know reply back Sadly I had a sudden death the day after and email stating I would not be around for the next 3/4 week's because of this and could I still send CV even if it was for future positions I had know reply not even to say sorry for your loss. Am I being to sensitive What they did not know I have been a customer since they opened in the late 90's going in monthly for my products Gaynor Gaynor

Had know reply back do you think it's because of my age or am I being sensitive? Did not even get a reply saying sorry for your loss What they did not know I have been a customer since the late 90's since they opened purchasing monthly products, Never in my life experience this before.

Hi Chuck I have also tried to help natty a few weeks ago I gave my email address and natty replyed saying do I want to meet up in pub or cafe I said it would be coffee in day time but we could email each other first as I no nothing about natty other than the two theads on forum the bereavement one and making friends I heard nothing after that lots of people have given help and advice but natty seems to still put things on forum about friends and the bereavement one I have since wished natty all the best and hope natty gets the help, no one seems to know if natty is male or female I fully understand depression so was surprised natty did not take up offer if chatting through email as natty can put posts on forum Gaynor

Morning Natty When I replied to your email I did say we can email each other then meet for coffee not pub but you did not contact me that was a few weeks ago and I know nothing about you other than what you posted I hope you get the help your looking for,and understand you do not feel like doing anything but you seen to post on forum so was surprised you did not chat via email All the best for the future Gaynor

Thanks for that moondancer your right when I received email natty said cafe or pub I said coffee in day time that ended there I just can not believe someone using depression and bereavement like this Thanks for opening my eyes Gaynor

I have always rubbed in fairy liquid too before wash I do it on white shirts cuffs then I put in soda crystals​ in wash worth a try Gaynor

I understand about the birds I love all wild life and nature is cruel there is nothing​ nicer than listening to the birds and seeing them on feeders but I would not throw water over anything we are all part of the planet so please do not assume I put one thing above another as some have Gaynor

This is sad if your neighbour just sprays a bit fair enough but not anymore​ than that cats bury there poo only if a female is around will a Tom not so I doubt your kitty is pooing just have a chat and tell neighbour to shew him off if he sees him nothing more you can do I never understand why it bothers people but that's life Good luck and do not worry Gaynor
