Anyone else unemployed?

Why not consider applying to the forces/services or maybe engineering or marine jobs where you do a bit at college then go away..

 

I tried for a few of the engineering jobs where you do a bit of college but all the places were gone in a day, they courses are high demand.

I would actually consider going into the forces if i dont get a job before Christmas.

 

Yes they do mate, Stirling ave, slough is my head office but i work from home if you know what i mean

Engine powered generation (EPG) oil and gas and renewable energy are based there they also have construction in there too which is another department

 

thats the dss for you.useless *.say everyone thats signed on got a job.what would happen to the people who worked at the jobcentre,and all the training courses.people being unemployed keeps a fair few people in employment.

 

aye and judging the amount of different phone numbers you need to phone to get anything sorted there are hundreds of the * profiting from unemployment

 

aye.they've got call centres now i think.you can't just phone the jobcentre anymore.you have to phone and get put through.a national rate call aswel so no cheap

 

I know where it is now, right next to the power station, cheers.

 

Markeybhoy dont give up ! Im 47 and when I left school things were much easier I realise its harder for young people today. Dont give up the college bit or if you really dont like college have you thought of voluntary work? It gets you out of bed in the morning and more importantly it looks good on a cv. Apply for everything you can and you will eventually get something , its a numbers game. I,ve been unemployed in the past and I have sons your age and know what you are going through but dont throw in the towel you have your whole life ahead of you.

 

dont know if anyone interested i work all over europe boss is hiring just now couple hundred take home but all accomidation is paid it is installing and maintenance on mobile homes pm me if u want the number

 

Does being a student count? Albeit I did have a job I had to quit to go to Uni, albeit it was * and I got no money

 

Cheers mate, good post, might try voluntary work, as you say ,it would look good on my CV

 

I left college this year and i thought it would be much easier to find a job. Every banking job ive applied for ive got the same reply " Thanks for your application but im sorry to say you have been unsuccessful " i can understand how it gets people down as its just so frikn boring sitting around the house all day.

 

You sound the carbon copy of me mate, I just play COD or FIFA all day on my ps3, or come on here. Its awful and boring

I have applied for about 11 jobs/appreticeships

 

Smiths Marketing Associates is a good place if you want a job. If you have any sort of retail experience they'll definently give you an interview. It's on comission but if thats a problem for you although there are great promotion prospects and you can be running your own branch in about a year's time if you stick at it

 

Lol tbh mate im a lazy * i wasnt dumb at school just so lazy, i left at 16 to do a HNC in Civil Engineering dropped out of that coz i didnt have a scooby about what the lecturers were talking about. I went to work in a bank for a year and decided i would do a course in Business, that lasted 2 years and im now nearly 20 and unemployed. my day consists of sleeping till mid afternoon, comming on the laptop, playing MW2 on xbox and then at the w.e if i have any money to go out and get a few drinks i will lol.

 

Yeah, im on the dole and the £50 just about allows me to have a few pints at the weekend.

Something will turn up for us mate soon, hopefully anyway!

 

I just made a good suggestion but!!!

 

Yep i hope so ! ive tried the same as you with the apprenticeships but ive never been gd with all the tests they give you.

 

Going to check them out now cheers bud, didn't see this post til now

 

I went on that website and i dont have a clue what they actually do lol.. i mean i know they market but what do they market ?
