its like a childs playground

look on gumtree and on job sites, the job centre because even though i have a job, ive looked through them 5 mins ago and found loads, not just ones with experience needed either.

people need to seriously grow up and act their ages.

Plenty of jobs going, I walked out on one job last night, and straight into 3 more in Birkenhead, if you drive there are plenty of jobs going, might be unsociable hours as i only work nights, but the money is good.

I commented on this thread back in December about my son applying to a foundation degree at Wirral met. Well the good news is he has been offered a place. At least hopefully once finished he will get a job :-)

not even driving jobs, i'm in a job now and in our jobs bulletin there's loads going, but they are only taking applicants from within the trust.

unfortunately the old saying rings true: it's a lot easier to get a job, when you're in a job.

I beg to differ to the posting above. I have two boys one is 20 and has now had to resort to doing a uni course. He applied to countless apprenticeships but because he was already educated to a level 3 couldn't get the funding from government. My other son is 16 and leaves school this summer and at present looking for an engineering apprenticeship but not got one as yet. There needs to be more out there for the young ones more apprenticeships like the old YTS schemes.

don't they have to put in CV's and apply for jobs to get their benefits? It must be a bind when you're trying to give someone a chance and the system is skewed in that way.
