melthebell Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Apology may be due, i dont know anything about you, and as you have stated that you have spent 18 years on the dole, i assume that there must be some physical, or mental condition that meant that prospective employers were unwilling to employ you. nope....purely the fact that id never had a job so i couldnt get one due to have no work experience and so not being able to get work experience due to not being able to get a job ...........vicious circle, tbh i was lucky i think to get the one i have..........no experience on either this one or the part time one i had just before they gave me a chance and i repayed em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 in fact if i go into it deeper its not as black and white as sarah reckons even now, even tho i have a reasonable job needing reasonable technical skills chemical, CNC, technical, good health, good health and safety and that im in charge sometimes in 2 departments...even only after as short as 2 years, ive applied for i think 2 jobs since and not got an interview for either and they say its easier to get one when you have one i applied for hundreds if not thousands while on the dole and only got maybe 100 interviews?? not many more replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
