i need to find a job :(

i joined an agency for nursing work 2 months ago at least now. they keep telling me more and more things i need to do and on friday they sent me on a first aid course saying that i would be able to start working this week. they have now said i have to attend another course on september 6th before i can start. thats another 3 weeks. i have had no money since may 20th.
when i joined the agency i was told i would be working within 3 weeks. i have also applied to ntl but heard nothing back from them.
i have looked around town for jobs but no where wants anyone as all the jobs hae been taken by students back from uni for the summer.
where can i get a job? i need help. i have been to the job centre but to be honest they are not helpful and they only jobs they have are 3 hours a week, far away and shit pay.
im ready and willing to work, to do anything except work in a supermarket (i know i shouldnt turn anythign down but i can not work in a supermarket ever again, i would go crazy) but i cannot find a job

Anyway, a month, and the students are gone, start going round places that would have taken on uni students and asking for jobs as soon as they've gone back.
Oh the crapness
ive been trying since the middle of may. it sucks. no where wants anyone.
i cant wait another month, i need money now. im over my over draft and literally have no money wat so ever!
theres lots of websites if you search.
Just apply for anything!! i did and i have an interview at egg 2moro, fingers crossed!
Im over my overdraft too Mr BB, dont worry your not alone.
I spoke to the Job Centre and apparently im not entitled to claim anything because I left my last job volutarily as it was causing depression.
there is loadsa things your file needs before they work you, otherwise they are breaking the law....its annoyin, i had 2 yrs of ppl moaning about it but its not really the agencys fault, only them sayin that theres just one more thing 3 million times! Thats if its NHS if its private nursing homes they don't need as much stuff for your file.
Join other agencies too you might have more luck!
i understand that they have loads of stuff they need to legally get done. but they could be doign more at the same time. like i had to go on a training course and yesterday had to watch some videos, i could have done that while i was waiting for my references to come back.
urgh im just annoyed!
its Mrs BB lol
i am claiming job seekers but its not gettin me out of my over draft
Oops sorry Mrs BB, my mistake :rolleyes:
At least your allowed to get job seekers, its better than nothing so dont knock it.
Your parents should understand that its not your fault nobody is employing at the moment, my mum stopped asking me for rent when I left my job so thats nice of her. But i still have about £350 a month to pay in bills which at the moment just isnt happening (i wish) lol
they don't normally have anything deadly exciting, but they should have something to keep you going until the nursing agency can sort you out. failing that, try job sites or job papers.
you might have to swallow your pride and do a job you're far from keen on, especially at this time of year. just keep reminding yourself it's only for a few weeks, and it's all money.
good luck :thumb:
there is another general agency in town...but they dont want anyone cos all the students have already taken all their places already!
because if i apply to a hospital i'll have to wait for another criminal check and another set of references and it'll be october before i get anywhere!
I am not being a snob and i would appreciate you not judging me. i cannot work in a supermarket, i would walk out after a few weeks, i couldnt handle it, so why waste my time going for a job i couldnt do when someone else could have it!
the students will all be leaving pretty soon though... even if it only gets you a couple of weeks work, it'll be a few hundred squids you didn't have before.
my agency found me work whenever i wanted it. never the best jobs or anything, but it fed me for a few weeks.
the trick is to keep nagging them. if you just sign up and leave them to it, they'll forget about you. but if you pop in or ring up a couple of times a week, they'll either keep you in mind, or they'll get so sick of you they'll find you anything just to stop you calling
ive been in and rung and everything else i can think of but none of it seems to make any differnce. they have now told me that they have people on the books who registered before me and its their priority to send them out first!
when i joined they said they were desperate for staff....so why am i still sitting around waiting to go out?!
