You do realise Kizzy the amount of people who work, who have children who require childcare, and do not have their own mode of transport - there are tens of thousands who are able to have children, no car and work. It doesn't hamper them any in finding work.
Specialist retail skills. Perhaps if you expanded on what particular 'specialist retail skills' that you are referring to that make it so very difficult to secure employment with such a sector? It must be highly specialised that it invalidates all possible other invovlment within the retail world. Or does this revert back to what I mentioned earlier in the thread in general: about people who are unemployed - just being far too selective, being far too fussy in the type of work they are prepared to do? It's a valid question.
I raised the issue of retail, suggesting that online retail had affected the high street and customer facing roles in the retail sector. 
On the flip side it affects many in regard to where, when and how long they work.
I never mentioned 'specialist retail skills' I reffered to a skilled retail sector..You may be confused?
And here we are again, it's like a merry go round. If you are skilled in a field and your position, status and salary are removed would it not be understandable to look for a similar position in your area of experience to maintain your current needs?

I fail to see how having children and no transport prevents a person from working - it does not stop thousands upon thousands of others from getting work - perhaps you can explain how all of those thousands of others manage to work with no car and children
This was my reply to lee and the suggestion that someone may work for 3 hours on a saturday night.... For many this is not a viable option due to having to pay sitters and travel costs, meaning you would be basically working for nothing... |
too much going on in that post Kizzy with quotes out of synch, bolds, colours.....
I'll ask you again since you have avoided providing an answer. 'Skilled retail sector''.. the words you have chosen to use. What precise skills are so exclusive within the retail sector that make getting a job within such a huge sector - difficult? What do you regard as being the requirements of someone in the 'skilled retail sector'. Which skills in particular? I'm very interested to learn what you regard as such special skills: enlighten me, please.
the last part in red ...... proves what I have said: you are using this 'no car, no baby sitters' as an excuse for people not working. If they wanted to work: they would get around such things: in the same way a many thousands of others do. Indeed part time / evening / weekend work often suits parents of younger children - because they CAN find babysitters far more easily via friends / family etc.

I'm not meaning one company either. We all found work in different companies as I said in my very eary posts. f
