That didn't involve public transport yes..but we are talking about using public transport in the search for a job are we not..and some jobs don't begin and end within public transport hours..So one size does not fit all.Then of course one is into using private transport which is fine if you have some..but the costs have to be borne out by one receiving a reasonable wage that enables one to make enough of a profit wage wise to pay all your bills and afford transport.
Last year I was offered work to invigilate.Unfortunately the job was the other side of Portsmouth and entailed two bus journeys and a ferry journey to get there and about 40 minutes journey to get there.Same coming back except I would always get a half hour extra on the journey for waiting time for the final bus.for this I got £30.As the journey cost around a tenner I was in fact earning only £20 before tax..£20 for sometime a 3 hour exam..sometimes an hour.
Now Rammy, be honest would you bother?
