I went from being a supervisor running a yard with people underneath me to a bin man, ive done pizza delivery, various warehouse work manual labouer telesales and security
and i bet you hated telesales the most......
there is a strange phenomenon caused by the introduction of the welfare state (what got churchill voted out after ww2)
people now sit at home unemployed, when there are jobs elsewhere.
before ww2, people would routinely travel where the work was, and if, for example, there was no work in glasgow, people moved to leicestershire to work in the coal mines, in the 20's & 30's welsh people moved to oxford to make cars.
but now, people can be unemployed in their home town, when as little as 10 miles away, there are hundreds of jobs. we have a huge warehouse place called magna park, 10 miles down the road, and it is almost completely staffed by recent eu immigrants. they do big hours to earn the money, but the local long term unemployed don't want to travel to do the work.
over the centuries, massive populations have migrated to where the work is, yet in the last 50 years, the uk, which i believe invented the dole, seems to have forgotten how to do it.
i have all the respect in the world for anyone who will do whatever it takes to find a job, but none for someone who expects the job to find them
I drive 30 miles a day to go to work (in my nova woop) and it pisses me off when people wont travel more than 5 miles
screw you im looking with in a 5 mile radius as im going to have to walk to work lolQuote:

Its easy to say, just apply for anything but we couldnt afford for me to work in a sweet shop or something so I cant go for any old job
Ive only last week managed to get an interview for Avon & Somerset police for a Dispatcher position...the same job I've been doing for 8 years but for Dorset Police..and they are interviewing about 30 ish people and chances are I wont get it. mad. sad. Fcuking annoying. :roll::cry::mad:
