As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details. Wobbles (oxsarahxo cannot see this message - Please do not discuss this on the forum) | Welcome to BabyandBump's General Chatter Forum - This forum is for anything you might want to talk about but can't find a forum for! What did you get up to today? Got much planned on the weekend? Get chatting! This thread is called 'Anyone job hunting?' and is in our Lounge Area section. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | 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 Currently Feeling: | 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 |

I'm Currently Feeling: | 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.

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. | | | | Status: Offline
