How long have you been looking for work for?

been 14 months for me now and i have a uni degree

about to start looking for voluntary work as the jobcentre are useless even though im on every course or scheme they offer

every interview i go for i always get told i was awesome in the interview, but they offered the position to someone with more experience

yet I have 5 years of administrative experience

getting to the point where the job gap is going to be an issue and employers will ask what ive been doing for over a year, not sat on my arse as im on 3 get back to work schemes a week... so, anyone here feeling my pain?

I just want to work but need a perm position to be able to support my family as temp contracts are no good as i got a missus and 2 young kids to feed which benefits is a security net for at the moment

im on every job programme the jc offer with regards to my disability, the majority of jobs at the moment are telesales, youve met me (villarreal away) and im incapable of doing telephone work, so struggling like mad

Just want work... desperate for it

Get on a site like LinkedIn, join some groups and start to send blind contact messages.

it is a pain for any manager to advertise and if you make the contact you just might drop on their desk when they need to recruit.

As for the gap, you have kids so you have been a stay at home parent.

Voluntary work is good and apart from making you feel better it will help you with contacts and filling your CV gap.

Good luck bud.

It's tough ATM, plenty of work for 10/13k a year looks hard after that

Feel for you mate,

Sadly you are the people who under the rhetoric of this govt are made out to be workshy benefit scrounging scum, which will make it harder ironically for you to get a job.

Good luck lad, hope you find some collar soon
