Anyone job hunting?


Okay, so this is getting right on my nerves!

Currently I'm in the fortunate position of being unemployed and I am doing my absolute hardest to find a job. Every single job I want to apply for is for "new deal" candidates, or you must have so many years experience in this, or that qualification and it's really getting me down.

I am literally at my wits end with this job lark, I have applied for so many jobs and I get really furious about it. Last week I went to an interview, and never even got seen because the men interviewing had decided they wanted the girl before me. Was nothing to do with the fact that it was an assistants job and she was verrrrry pretty, and I'm just a fat lump then? I was talking to her beforehand and she had no experience whatsoever... I've been a PA for the last two years



HELP! I'M GOING MENTAL!

I'm unemployed to, but of my own back, I walked out on my job..

And I'm finding it hard for a new one, basically because no1 will take a pregnant girl on..

So all's I'm gonna keep doing is applying, and hoping for the best.

Good luck hun, Just keep trying.x

Im on mat leave but looking for a new job... city centre based because we're looking at buying a car and it would make far more sense for me to work near my OH so we could travel together. Also I HATE HATE HATE where I work.

its actually against the law to do that , everyone has to be interviewed before a job can be offered

Doesn't change the situation though... people don't care anymore, proved by the current climate with knife crime etc.

Sorry I don't understand what you're getting at here? I'm merely saying that people don't care what's against the law anymore...

if you had said something then you would have got your interview and maybe a job , i think its more that people(employers) do what they want because no one says anything back.

and i was just saying that jumping from a failed job interview to knife crime was abit extreme. I think knife crime is more about not caring about other people rather than a law.
