Kinda arent but im fed up of looking for work, ive essentially given up at the moment, No employer ever gets back to me, which really pisses me off its just plain rude.
Some of you might remember me mentioning a few months back i was made redundant, i thought 2 years retail / warehouse / merchandising experience would count for something but it seems not.
It just really annoys me, and has gotten me down somewhat.
Im on JSA but to be honest there is no incentive here to find work when you get no responce from an employer. I walked around a local shopping centre handing out my CV. Waste of my time tbh.... Nothing is ever simple in the world of Richeh!
Does anyone have any tips or similar experiences or anyting they can input. I could use it. Like i said ive currently given up loking for work because its starting to get to me a bit now.
Took me ages to get a job in dixons, a year and 4 interviews to be exact then i lose it through no fault of my own.
Everything is just really going shitty for me at the moment and i dont know what to do to make things better, particularly finding work, because what it comes down to is i need money.
Thanks. Rich

Oh yeah, and our sister site, www.do-it.org.uk is great if you fancy doing asome volunteering while you are out of work. It's a good way of keeping busy, getting new skills and having something to put on your CV other than 'unemployed'.
My new job pays £5 an hour
For me, that could be a good thing. I'll be 20 in two months time and still haven't worked a day in my life. I've never needed the money, that's why. And before anyone asks, I'm not claiming any benefits nor do I intend to. However, if it does count for nothing, I might actually have a chance, however remote.
Lucky for some
Oh, what? I just said I didn't need the money in the past, But I do now. I've got to find a job, and the prospect is terrifying me.
Lucky for some that they don't need the money...:rolleyes:
not that difficult to understand really.
I have put my cv into loads of places and most of them don’t get back to me and if they do it is to say sorry but we are looking for someone with more experience
Been looking for a job since I left college in june.
pissing me off now
I walked in, asked a member of staff who pointed me to the manager. I sat down, and had a full blown interview in the middle of the shop, and was offered a job on the spot. It's at £5.60 an hour too. (My first job ever!!)
I say, you just have to be assertive. Ask in places even if they're not advertising in their window. And even if they have no vacancies, ask to leave a copy of your cv with them anyway in case a vacancy does come up.

I've (so far) found Reed recruitment to be a good temping agency, got a job straight away.
