Job Hunting

[Tai]

any advice? ive been looking for a fulltime job since i left college in the summer tbh and havent had any lucky - only a couple of part time jobs so far.

no idea what i wanna do but probably something office based. got a few qualifications but nothing great.

dunno where to look tbh everything on jobcentre site makes me feel stupid just by reading the job descriptions. have been registered with reed also for a few months...theyve got me 1 interview so far which went **** and was in a call centre so i wasnt fussed anyway but i havent heard from them since. that was before xmas...

its ****ing difficult tbh am i that unemployable?! :@

Go see someone like connexions, my advice is, u can get loadsa qualifications for free whilst your still young, make the most of it. They will get u a job in an office or be a bit more specific in the type of work u wanna do exactly, u will get **** money intially, like 120 a week or something like that i think working like an apprenticeship getting u a decentish qualification.

mmm could do. i had a connexions interview before i left college it was ok but didnt get me anywhere.

dont like the idea of apprenticesips tho...mainly as i need money more than anything atm. plus what qualifications do u actually get? ive got a couple of A levels already.

im gonna end up in tesco at this rate i cant be doing with it

Monster is for all different types of jobs requiring all types of qualifications there will be jobs on there to suit your skills and qualifications.
Go get a job in Macdonalds, unless u get the sack u got a job for life, I know someone who is a manager there and they are earning somewhere between 20-30k per year, not bad for someone with 0 qualifications lol.

Connexions do various different types of courses, i believe you can now get decent IT qualifications with them now as well. I know they do level 3 NVQ's (equivilent to an A level) and lvl 4's which are just below diploma level of education.

It really does depend on what you want to do with life, again connexions will probably have the software that asks you loadsa questions about you, your likes and dislikes and gives u job suggestions that you may not actually have thought of before but would suit you perfectly.

omg do i look like some greasy spotty ugly life-loser to u? im offended.

anyway i have an AS level in ICT don't really need more than that for me. plus experience is more desirable now.

no idea what i wanna do with life as i said but ill try the connexions thing anyway

the best place would be in offerices now days. if you want to get a job in a factory you wont stand a chance because of all the Polish immergrating from Poland and they work cheaper then we do. ive got 2x part time jobs because i cant get a full time because of the polish and i didnt get any good grade's while i was in school but im considering spending £300 on a Security Badge + Corse.

There are plenty of jobs which would do this, but only problem is getting the jobs once you are qualified, polish charge less and work hard, which is why we loose jobs

What? LOL,,,,

Same with any job.

Just keep looking I wouldnt use Connexions unless you wanted more training, learn direct is the same, and does it really matter where you work? a jobs a job at the end of the day you dont wanna look like a lay-about all your life because you dont wanna look like a "spotty ugly loser freak" do you. Stick with a job that you think isnt as other one's look at it this way.

Would you rather be a cleaner or be a manager?
Dedication to a job gets promotions.
Sitting there and say "eww no I aint looking like them" isn't ganna get you no where.

An idea for you do your CV hand it into a few place's and hope to get a full time job (could be temp job or perm) stick with it untill you find a job you want to do.
