Shop assistant wanted

assistant wanted

"Shop assistant wanted: apply in person"

It's a strange sign to see these days, given the economic times: one would think the job would have been snapped up before there was even time for a sign to be put up.

  1. Maybe someone left this job and that's why someone else need to do the job. These jobs are low paid and with destructive work hours.
    I don't think this job is anyone's dream job.

  2. You certainly would. But A is probably right.

  3. What is the minimum wage in Greece?

  4. it has been said that the minimum wage is 700 euro, but i think that this is gross, so take off 150 and you are left with 550 euro in the hand. you simply cannot live off that as an independent person, which is why greeks are so dependent on the older generation, their land, thier fruit trees, etc

  5. Hello, this is my first time here on your blog. I also live on an island in the middle of the mediterranean. I live in Malta (very tiny island). I also have two blogs, one about Malta and the other about me, my growing family and our daily lifes, come visit if you have some extra time. Good day !!

  6. At least the shop must be going well if it needs assistants.

    PS thank you for the comment - I'll look out for one next time.

  7. Happy to hear you are feeling better. :-)

    I enjoy seeing your night view from your window. That is certainly a very sad story about the neighborhood friend. I'm sure everyone will miss him, as he was obviously a very kind and giving person.

  9. You can't live on minimum wage in England either, which is why people live in horrible houseshares, 7 people sharing 1 bathroom etc. But staying at home with your parents is still very rare.

  10. Thank God you're OK at last! What a Winter, hm?
    I took a photo of the full moon too but yours is great! Probably we were doing the same thing at the same time!
    As for the assistant, can they wait for me?

  11. Most unusual for the job not be taken already.Makes a person wonder why not.

  12. Me again - I must admit I had you in mind when I posted it. Having mentioned Rodos in the previous post, I thought it also proper to mention Crete!

  13. Hi Maria!
    There is always hope, even in the darkest times...

    Meanwhile my India 2008 is coming to its end at Blogtrotter. I know you’re getting a bit tired, but there are still some marvels to come ;). Look forward to reading your comments! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
