Isn’t that Mike Ashley’s clownshow? Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
That said, I suppose depending on where you are in your career, it’s good experience and portfolio work.
Reminds me of the police service in Scotland inviting people to complete a survey… about their stay in police custody. I’m not entirely sure what results they’re expecting there. Probably the brainchild of some “management consultant” who has probably never set foot in a public building before.

Dodged a bullet in the sense that I’m sure it’s a shit company, but right now, I just need a job that pays more than £29,000 a year so I can get a family visa for my wife and daughter. Any job. I will worry about a good job later. I even held my nose and applied for a job at Phillip-Morris.
I have what I have been told multiple times is a very impressive CV, but so far, no luck. I have about two months’ worth of savings to find a job.

Good luck.
When I joined the workforce full time a good number of years ago. I was chuffed to fuck to be earning £20k a year at the time. In the intervening years, the cost of living has gotten ludicrous.
In metropolitan areas, I’m not quite sure how anyone but the DINKys can cope with the financial pressures of city living.

I will live in a hovel if it means my daughter won’t be put in a camp.

What are you referring to with your daughter going into a camp?

The only advise I can give you is make a people network for yourself. Make connections everywhere since life is more about who you know than what you know.

I wouldn’t even know how. We know no one around here.

Your best bet is to go through companies that are interesting relevant and find someone who is a hiring manager or has something in common with you. Once you find them, send them a nice LinkedIn message explaining how much you love the company/product/culture and if they are interested in having a coffee chat.
Basically, you gotta get past the gate keepers (recruiters) and you’ll find things open up. Most recruiters are fucking shit (especially at mega corps) and are just looking to check boxes. Go around them.
