Is it only retail your looking for?
if you've not got a criminal record why not do carework as they take anyone on near x-mas.

Very depressing, the mass silence from employers.


Keep your chin up mate, something will come up, stay positive & keep us updated on how your doing, ok mate.

Out of interest gmf how old are you, as im prob old enough to be your mother ive been around long enough to know how different it is to get a job nowadays. In days gone by you went the job centre see a job you are intested in and bingo someone at the job centre rang up and got you a interview .

But now adays its cv,s done on line,or on line tests where if you fail you cant aply again for 6 months , in the good old days a interview was your chance to go for it. BUT getting that interview IS SO HARD NOW.

I'm 20 and have been applying for jobs for four years so of course I know how difficult it is. I also have parents who I sometimes even speak to so I know the difference between then and now. I even come on here and hear you lot complaining about it constantly so I definitely know the difference.

The difference is you've actually got to put in a bit of work yourself and no one will just get you an interview just because you want one. If you can't be bothered or are too lazy to get the interview yourself then the employer has dodged a bullet!

My point in the bit you've quoted was he actually said himself that all he does is look online! There's loads of adverts out there, I saw two in Liverpool just yesterday and five in Birkenhead two days before that, and I'm not even looking for a job anymore! Shows how hard he's trying!

I think you are being too hard on Jobneeded, I have sent loads of CV's and most of the time don't get replies or get rejections which after a while can be so upsetting. I have applied for jobs that I have not experience for because I am so desperate to get a job.

Yes sparky, but you're not coming on here and starting new discussions every time you get a rejection letter, every time you apply for a job, every time you don't like the application form etc. then don't take the advice given and still keep moaning!

withthat

Please leave the man alone. He is doing no harm. You have been reading his posts long enough now to know what he has to say. If you dont like it, dont read it or at the very least read it & move on, stop being negative towards him.

Oh right so if gmf doesnt like people moaning then lets do away with the moan about the weather thread then.

Though i must say moaning its to cold hot etc is far more interesting then moaning about not being able to get a job then.

Have you ever thought that jobneeded might not have anyone else to moan to only on wiki. There are other members on wiki who like to express their strong opinons all the time , its live and let live.

I didn't realise I'd joined WikiMoaningHole, I am sorry! He is complaining yet again about not having a job, I have told him there are like six places hiring where he lives, if he doesn't want help then he can stop posting on here. I don't go on the moan about the weather page anyway, but it was there before I joined and it's on the chat forums so you can say what you like in there! If he wants to post over and over and over on the chat forums or in one of his threads then fine but not creating new ones every other day!

It's a bit spammy though isn't it which is generally frowned up on internet forums.

Jobneeded67, if you head over to the general chat bit you can post as much as you want about anything you want without fear.
