Or get a  job at the nuclear plant in Nottingham...or at Babcock...just so you can say Bab...Cock in a Rowan Atkinson type of way.


I know how tricky the job market is for half decent jobs, I have been applying for jobs outside of my company for years and haven't gotten anywhere simply due to the astonishing nr of applications companies get these days.

Jjandelis is lucky in that he is armed forces, plenty of work out there for those guys in certain dodgy parts of the world...in the UK it's fairly tricky though so for anyone else taking redundancy they have to be very careful.
If you're single, not tied down by kids or something and can work where ever in the world, it's no problem to get a decent job.

Stop including a photo of yourself with your applications.  It's not doing you any favours...

Think about the people doing the recruiting.  How do you think they feel?!

I have only been applying for supermarket jobs at Lidl (No chance a high brow supermarket like ASDA or ALDI would hire someone like me) and everything there is just lying on the floor so would have hoped that that would have been OK..but it's good advice as that might have been holding me back.

its not a new trend having lots of people applying for jobs. My first job was an Apprenticeship at British gas 20 places 8000+ applied, this was in '94. Around the same time I tried to get job at BT about 6000+ applied for 3 jobs.

I walked through town today on my way to work and lots of shops both small and large need staff part time/ fulltime.

When I graduated in 2000 i went to work in Morrissons until I got my graduate position elesewhere, I learnt so much during my time there, got my hands dirty, worked under totally fukwits and had to bite my lip daily, but I am so glad I did it, the experience makes me happy every day I don't have to stack shelves and deal with idiots.
