  • try gumtree in your local area. friday ad. sign up with an agency. go to the job center

    I’d agree, sign up with an agency. If you do a good job for the people you work for then sometimes they take you on full time. I’ve always had good experiences with agency work.

    cant temp need reliable income. Might as well just stay on benefits in comparison to temping. Plus I have done it before and its never led to anything other than working for cunts on a short term basis.

    nothing on Gumtree sadly but thanks for the heads up. Already been through all the stuff on the job centre site only 1 bloody thing there to apply for and I think that is part time.

    Ok try this, find a local company you wouldn’t mind working for and offer to work for a day for nothing to prove yourself. It’s worked for me before.

    Thankfully not, i hate it.

    As for advice, if you really want a job you can get one… probably have to lower your standards a bit though.

    already looking to do anything I would be capable of, even warehouse work etc

    You’ll be surprised, it’s all about having thr right attitude. You sound like you’ve given up before you’ve even started. Try taking a wrap of speed before the interview “Spud style”, you’ll walk the interview.

    Your probably right I think I have given up before I have really started. Iv not worked in 4 ish years due to mental health problems, the chances of someone giving me a job are slightly above nil. My life is in one hell of a mess, I reckon it could easily take over a year to find even a shit job.

    ugh the thought of doing speed makes me feel a bit ill. Classic scene though love it.

    Most of the job sites I’ve used are UK-based so not much use for you, but Trovit always has a good selection of jobs.

    You might think that all these hundreds of online jobs boards make it easier to find work – they don’t – actually there are still the same number of jobs available, just everyone knows about them because they’re online so you get loads of competition for every job. And if you don’t use these sites nowadays you’re at a disadvantage.

    Make sure your CV is in order too, I found it pretty interesting being on the receiving end of a pile of CVs a few weeks ago for a job I was recruiting for (not something I’d ever done before) – some of them were really badly written with loads of spelling mistakes and irrelevant info and they just got binned straight away. When I was on the dole a year or so back the job centre sent me on a CV writing/interview techniques course run by a posh recruitment consultancy which I thought would be a waste of time, but it turned out to be really useful. A couple of points that stood out were: tailoring your CV to every job you apply for – make it relevant to the job description because the guy reading the CV will have a list of key attributes that he’s checking against every CV (and he might have 100 CVs to look through); and back everything up with evidence – if you say you have good communication skills it doesn’t mean a thing (everyone says it on their CV) unless you give an example that proves it. On my CV I’ve incorporated written references from past employers who were pleased with my work – it adds a lot of weight if you have a quote from your old boss saying how good you are at your job. Making these changes to my CV helped me to get a lot more interviews.

    by the way he is in the uk 😉 or should i say she…

    DAFT HAVE YOU BEEN JOB HUNTING?

    if you know anyone in your local area and are prepared to hump shit around you should have work for a week cash in hand within a couple of days looking. I managed a 4-5 day week every week since leaving school until a couple of months ago when I got a full time job just from doing this. Think farmers, people with big gardens, builders, scaffolders, whatever. I know it’s not ideal but it’s £40-65 a day in your back pocket whilst you’re looking, and that aint a bad living.
