Forums Forums Wirral Information Jobs - Training Too Many People Chasing Each Job - I Give Up

No, they're not out there. I had 2 great full time jobs for 28 years (15yrs & 13yrs). I've been out of work for 8 months and believe me I've honestly done everything possible to get a job.

If I'm not told I'm 'over qualified' then it's because I don't have the specific qualifications or training they're looking for. (sometimes not possibale unless you've previously worked for the Council).

Yes I'm doing an evening college course to get some of the things they're looking for.

Don't tar us all with the same brush.

Not saying that Zubee,but what am saying you take anything thats going till you find what you want.
I did it and worked my up.Eg references if you get a good one its a start.sometimes we cant be choosy what we do its work and making a living.

Fair enough, but you need to accept that you don't know each individuals circumstances.

yes i do respect that, but you must agree that most dont want to work???? I take it you do.
night night am up early myself off to work.
xmas is comming up alot of jobs going maybe full time in the future.

There are plenty of jobs, believe me.

This jobneeded character should spend as much time looking for a job as he does pissing and moaning on here.

If he put as much time into learning another skill he'd be a natural.

In true wiki spirit EVERYONE has tried to help this member so now its a case of let him get on with it

"Plenty of jobs"? What planet are YOU from?

Where ARE these jobs? The jobs you refer to are probably ones that require a specialised skill (e.g. managerial).

If there ARE plenty of jobs, then they are certainly not here on the Wirral, one of the WORST jobless blackspots in the UK.

I may get out of the dump in the new year. I cannot see any future for me here.

You MAY or MAY not. I'm guessing you MAY not. Too much ATTENTION for you here.

Hey mate, if you just take anything for now untill you get something better in the future.At least it will get you off the social. I take my hat off to ya if you can at least achieve that.
At least you want to work instead of sitting on your ass depending on benefits

I'd take my hat off to him too if he actually did anything. I defended and agreed with jobsneeded67 from the start of his threads (a few, all about similar things) but not ONCE has he responded to, or thanked, anybody who's given him good advice or the heads up on jobs available.

I think people are just fed up with most of his posts being rants about how shoit Wirral is and how nobody understands how hard it is.

He's been accused of being a troll which I thought was a bit harsh but I'm starting to wonder?

Most posts? ALL fecking posts!!!!

It's so easy to give up and walk away. However, the artilleryman in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of The Worlds had dug a tunnel scarcely 10 yards long but he never gave up. Ok, he was a nutter but I think there is a lesson for us all there.

Nice one Paulwirral

Jobneeded67 just out of curiosity what type of job are you after?

If you are looking at a starter job nearly every high street will have jobs in the windows for temp/perm staff. And as plenty have said above Xmas brings a good few jobs with it that could become permanent. If I was you, I would take a walk and have a gander in shop windows, you never know you might see something you like.

I don't know how you feel having always been lucky enough to arrange a job before leaving a current one. But good luck and stop being so people are trying to help

And one more point the wirral is a great place. You just need to know where to look

My advice is to regester with asmany agencys as possable.
also, look on sites like cv library n just aply for anything you can do.
thats what i did andnow im working in salford 37.5 hours a week on ok (ish) pay. its a 2 hour commute to work every day but work is work.
