News Get a job at Asus UK

So after much learning, experience and years that warrants you £45k a year. Isn't this ASUS job an opportunity for someone, graduate or otherwise, just that too? An opportunity to learn and gain experience and in time to potentially elevate themselves to your lofty salary level?

 

""Able to perform effectively while 'juggling' a number of balls""

Sounds like a job for the wife

 

Yep, I totally agree, no different to my partner, who started from the bottom, and is now the Head veterinary Nurse/Practice Manager of a Vets earning more than me...

 

I earn around £40k a year.

Sadly what i earn and what i get paid are two totaly separate things.

 

Tell me about it! £300 taxed last week, that's a weeks wage to most.

 

Pablo I am with you.
On £40K pa atm, and I feel I was better two years ago on different company earning £30K.
Ex wife, mortgage, and the Chancellor are getting huge cut of that, wondering if worth working 38 hours per week + 22 hours commuting.

Seems better to go back to Greece, grace sheep (in the family land), gather the olives and the almonds and go fishing. I own my house there so no mortgage either.

 

This has met with a fair amount of negativity hasn't it... I would love a job that has many a path to follow! Not saying mine doesn't have a path as it does but what I mean is many many jobs do not.

I'll do it for a company car, at the top of that pay scale and to work "from home" with bupa, dental and flexible hours

 

£18k for a grad seems reasonable, no business knowledge and still learning.
After a few years and understanding of the business, get a placement/full time position on the salary suitable for that new role.

 

I left school with nothing, a levels that didnt matter and gcse's that where unusuable after four years as they expire you know.

I started my full time ocupation at nineteen. I worked from the ground up, training on the job day release at college to get an nvq. I have people with degrees look down thier noses at me. And work around students all day that talk about getting 40k a year once they graduate.

No doubt they think they are the dogs b locks. I earn good money seeing as I'm only 25. I worked hard and do an honest days work. I get my hands dirty and live in the real world.

This job isn't just about being a graduate with a degree. As stated before it's hard work and dedication. I know I deserve what I earn and the perks because I worked for them.

I'd apply for this job but it'd mean a pay cut. I don't mind the driving if it came with a vehicle as Hemel Hempstead isn't an easy drive and fueling a car isn't cheap.

 

18k for a graduate is reasonable, some get more, some get less. Considering this will probably go to a Business Studies graduate, it is more than reasonable.

Some people seem to think they have inflated value for some reason.

 

Good luck to those who apply for the role!

 

I hate my job, loved my last one. Sadly, QA roles are temp roles

 

£18k and a a spot working for Asus? I'd be all over that if it was in the US and I wanted to work in that field! It sounds like a great job for getting your foot in the door.

That's what'd get me excited right there. Go in as a recent graduate, work your year to learn the business (or learn what having a job is like for some people) and after that year move up to the full responsibilities (and likely pay).

 

£18k for a placement year = yes.

£18k for a graduate = no

Although i suppose it depends what type of degree you've done, if it was an easy 4 hour a week 1 assignment per semester then snap it up thats all you're worth.

On the other hand, if it was an intense degree (astrophysics, engineering, mathematics etc) then no way.

my opinion of course.

 

A lot of you seem worryingly out of touch with the real world...

 

would love to do something like that [hell any job atm] but no driving license + it being down south rules me out...

wages wise... i'm a graduate, i'd take 18k a year... whether i could live on it without tax credits and whatnot is another matter...

can't even get a minimum wage phone-drone type job atm

and to all those saying 'there's jobs, you're just not trying/have too high standards'... quietly bugger off... not been sat on the dole for the past year because i enjoy it...

 

I would love an opportunity to work for Asus. Once in, other options become available. Shame I earn over £24k on a call centre as a mechanical engineer. Some times a few letters after your name helps (CAE AMIMI).

 

Very true this position gets your foot in the door, and then.....with Asus on your CV who knows !!

 

It's enraging huh? I once had to stick up for a poor bloke, his friend told him he was just being lazy and needed to go and get onto a course or some sort of further education to better his chances of employment.

What most people, those sorts that don't live in the real world don't realize is that when you are claiming those benefits these days you ARE NOT ALLOWED to do ANYTHING that would prevent you from looking for work, and they decide how that is defined.

For example, you have little or no qualifications, no experience, nobody will hire you, you have a course you think would give you a step into an area with plenty of jobs available, unless it is a course they have recommended (WHICH THEY ONLY CATER UP TO A VRQ NOW!) then you cannot do it for more than a certain number of hours a week.

From my short experience, a lot of stories and many friends who have worked the other side of the desk, they push you into a corner and can often make it more difficult to find work.

 

I beg to differ, this kind of salary is only suitable for a junior (graduate). The job spec seems to be looking for someone more experienced.
