I can get anyone genuinely decent an intro into that as well...

Swinds were was this engineering apprenticeship advertised as my son is looking for one in engineering. He finishes school this summer. He is an average student and has helped out in a garage for over a year he is also studying engineering

was on the gov apprentice website - looking to take on now not waiting for a school leaver sorry

I will take your offer of an intro

How can be getting a job be hard.
In one week I changed jobs 3 times !!!!

I am now in a full time job and have no worries.

I just don't like it when people say there are NO jobs out there.

Be original and don't look where other people are looking as then you are up against competition.

Seriously though DO NOT fill out application forms on the internet it is a WASTE of time.

Get in your car (or on shanks' pony) and get out there with your CV

CV building......... Write something interesting to make you stand out.
Kind of like a big "PICK ME" on the top.

Maybe a strange language you learn or maybe you do morris dancing or enjoy knitting

Make something strange on your CV that stands out and propells the employer to want to interview you to find out more about you.

This way if and when you get the interview you can shine and because you have looked in "original places" you are up against less people.

I will give you a clue. The job I have got now was advertised for a whole MONTH and had had 3 sniffs on it.

I had at least a 1 in 3 chance of getting it which is better than a 1 in 500.

Hope this helps

You really are full of yourself aren't you ??
Suppose you drove to all of the 3 jobs in a week on your snow tyres as well !!

LOL!!!

White smoke coming from Birkenhead Job Centre, they've found someone a job!

WTF ????

I was trying to help out there

Nothing to do with me being full of myself.

But hey, if I can do it with my attitude, anyone can do it.

There are NO jobs at the jobcentre. People only go there for their dole money.

I know this from experience. My first appointment at the jobcentre the girl behind the desk said to me "what do you want to do ?" I said I am willing to do anything. Most of all I want to learn. Can you help with a college course possibly.

Their answer was simply "NO" there is only funding available to people who has been on JSA for more than 6 months. So she was encouraging me to stay on JSA for longer to get a free course.

So with that I walked away and went and got myself a job.



If I was full of myself why would I offer to genuinely help someone ?

Why didn't I just come on here and say "Get off your LAZY arse and get a job" because while YOU are on the dole I, THE TAX PAYER are paying for you to sit on your arse ??

Jobs ARE out there you just have to know where to look. Just be original. Asda and Tesco and the likes of these places are NOT original so you have less chance of getting your CV noticed. If more people are wanting that job the less chance you have of getting it.

Take a shopping centre for instance, everyone will walk into Topshop, River Island, M&S and ask if there are any jobs.
What about Build-A-Bear or the Lego shop or Tessuti or Lipsy

Smaller stores than no-one will think about and possibly walk past


It was a genuine help post NOT a p!ss take.
