The employment service in this country is shite.

good luck to all jobseekers.

lost call-centre job, blessing in disguise, trying to get money from Dutch welfare system, another six month paperchase underway to prove I have had a job before I moved here etc etc. Ho-hum.

I wanted to do charity work but the authorities won't let me as it means 'I'm not available for full-time work'... frighteningly familiar from Thatcher's handiwork in the uk. Urg.

Did the UK system ever improve in the 90s?

I don't know what it was like in the Thatcher era but the system at the moment is the worst I have seen it since being made redundant in 94.Since then I have had to rely on shrt term contracts.

Just had phone call to start work on Monday in Southampton its at the other end of the country but what the hell toolbox will travel as I'm skint.I thank this thread for my luck in getting a job. THANK YOU ALL!

congrats on yer job! now days we gotta take what we can get. Is it just me or are 'full time jobs' a thing of the past? All I've done over the past 3 years are short contracts...

So, Jeff deserves a good one!!

GO, JEFF, GO!!!!!

I would love to lose my current job, if only 'cos I've been at it five years and I'd rather contribute more to humanity than a "job well done" keeping someone's eggs from getting smashed or keeping the milk shelves close to full (anyone else who's ever worked in a grocery store, do the customers empty out the milk shelves faster than you can say "Damn!"? I'm always amazed at how many people feel the *need* to consume so much milk. Granted, I don't have a family to support or anything....I'm digressing, aren't I? )

Anyway, I'm having luck with the writing-things-for-humor-sites-that-can't-pay-me. When I start on the ones that do, maybe then I can devote myself full-time to writing crap that nobody will read :D
