Handed in a letter of resignation on Saturday (well, left it on my bosses desk).
I have given 4 weeks notice, have no job to go to. I know it's risky but I just couldn't bear it any more.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm a little worried I won't be able to find anything, I've got rent and bills to pay and don't think I'm entitled to any benefits.
Don't know what I want to do with my life, I'm old, I should know by now.

Because when I signed up it still took three weeks to get a placement.
She won't be entitled to JSA because she left volunatrily.
You phone up agencies and see what they have. The students will be going back to uni now so there will be plenty of vacancies. You might have to expect a drop in wage though.
don't you ahve any idea of what kind fo thing you want to do? Study? Trainign course? Travel?
Apparently I may be entitled to JSA. It's not as simple as saying you don't get any because you left voluntarily, it depends on the circumstances.
Totally does - things that amount to constructive idsmissal mean you are entitled I'm sure. And if it's you I'm thinking of, who has that maths problem, and then gets harrassed over maths related work things, I think that would/should count. Get onto the benefits people asap though, some things take a few weeks to get through the system. If you get jsa, that'll entitle you to housing and council tax benefit too- probably not enough to cover a full rent on your own place if you're under 25? but enough to keep you out of the shit for a little while.
I have been being careful with money lately, and have just about enough to cover my rent and bills for one month without work.
I have a lot of books and clothes that I'd like to sell. eBay is not really an option as I don't have the net at home, but maybe I could do a car boot sale.
Do you have a friend/family member who could put your items on eBay?
good luck with finding a new one.
1) It's not as simple as me just leaving because I don't like it.
2) I expect you could also leave if you really wanted to
3) Thanks
It's hard though. I mean looking for a job takes a lot of time, especially with going to interviews. I am a little worried if I find nothing, but I figure I can do temping or bar work to at least get some money coming in.
That's certainly what puts me off alot of the time. It's alot of work, especially when 80% of companies can't even be arsed to reply, even if it's a simple rejection letter. It's one of those things that is really gonna kick you down before you actually get what you're after. I wouldn't mind if it was mostly CV's and covering letters, but so many companies seem to send you a 20 page application form. Filling in those really gets me down. I hate the whole thing, but hey, sometimes it's gotta be done...
Woooah mamma!
