Bloody Useless Country

Hey guys,

I'm currently claiming about £40 a week on Jobseekers Allowance here in the UK to help with paying for driving lessons in order to be able to get a decent job in say, Swansea.

I've been on for about 5 weeks, and guess who hasnt been paid a goddamned penny.

All sorts, really. I'm looking at an American Football club in Swansea, that'd be perfect

How about applying for a position as a Shepherd....lots of sheep in Wales they reckon



On a serious note.....good luck with the job search, I do appreciate how difficult it is for the present generation to obtain quality, gainful employment

@KP

It will all be back dated to the day you registered with them. Keep the pressure on them, you got bills to pay.


I'm back baby..............

gainful, meaningful employment is a good feeling. Good Luck in finding that perfect job. I would have to say what I do now is gainful employment.

Yeah, if you're going through a "temp agency", you gotta stay on top of them. And if they find you a good job, make sure you dress nicely for it. That can go a long way.

@KP

Check out your nearest Citizens Advice Centre and have a chat with them and don't hold back with the info as you may find out you may be entitled to another benefit. Job centres will never tell you anything, any way the way this country is going your be better off out of work. The cost of living is getting out of hand, my food bill in Jan this year averaged £20-£25 a week now it's £38-£45 and the utility company's are bloody ganger's charging the earth. If Gordon (Pig) Brown thinks the average wage is good he should try and live off it.

Thanks for the advice guys, I had a good yell (out of respect to you, STEED) and next Wednesday I'm getting about £200 in backpayments

Tell me about it! There's tons of metal workshops here where I live and anywhere I ask they say "You need more experience". Well how the frick I'm gonna get it if everyone hires only 'experienced' workers!? Tossers! Dont come calling me when the "veterans" retire and you have nobody left except the 'unexperienced' workers.
