I just did a quick totalling up and my job applications have now passed the 50 mark.  noooo:

According to the local news the other night there are 15k unemployed in Leicester but there are 20k available jobs.

Pace yourself. When you get into the clutches of the Job Centre you don't want to have no more applications to write or they'll send you on a course.

Fvck the job centre.

I will of course sign on and go through the motions so I can get some handouts from the state (you have no idea how it hurts me to say that) but if I have nothing by the new year It will mean a major change of job hunting tactics.

No.

I am thinking more of putting on a tie and printing out my (can fly F16's) CV and knocking on companies doors in between call centre/shelf stacking temp work.

I will NOT be long term unemployed.

My suggestion was more a matter of Self Employment ~ avoiding the Job Centre altogether but enabling you to claim Supplentary benefits and even NI stamp credits during times when income falls below a certain level. Such benefits are means tested but savings of £8k for each of you are discounted.

I do not want to be self employed.

I want to work for a professional company/organisation for a reasonable wage.

I could tell you some great stories about the company I have worked for for 32 years that, in the last 5 years has descended into a comedy show the likes of which most people would not believe.

This has nothing to do with credit crunches or recessions just a baldly led operation from the very top.

Despite everything I know I am well out of it.
