in some interveiws there are 60 people applying for the same job.

If you find my threads or posts so unpleasant: then you have a choice whether to participate or not - but please refrain from coming onto the thread with no other intention other than to deliberately insult me. 'Thanks.

I've placed comments based on what I've found to be the case in respect of job hunting and the old argument about it being so hard to get a job....when I & others have not found that to be the case - proving that it's not as difficult as it's made out to be. (and some will (rightly) take the view that it's not that easy either:..... that's not my experience).

Facts speak for themselves, yeah, so have a read of the news.

Correct, that's my personal experience and that's why I am discussing it - thus it is far from bizarre - unless you regard the concept of gaining employment very quickly a bizarre concept !!

I see you have avoided my question Redway: how many of your friends that you said are finding it so hard to secure perm employment are just signing on......whilst 'looking for work'..... and how many have taken up short term or temp work in the interim - while they try to secure more perm work that they would ideally want to be doing?

No, it's bizarre and completely stupid, just like this thread. Absolutely stupid and illogical. I know you and your friends have jobs. That's not illogical and I accept that; what's illogical is thinking you can speak for the whole nation based on 6 people.

As for the BIB ... quite a few actually. In fact I know a few people unemployed who had been previously employed, having a permanent position.

Redway, please try to be a little less rude, there really is no need for it.

I didn't ask if you knew people who are unemployed, who had previously been employed having had perm positions.

I asked how many of your unemployed friends who are currently looking for work whilst signing on - vs how many are looking for perm work whilst doing some form of temp work.

Oh no madam Pyramid*. I just felt like showing up your illogical and unsuported conclusions and theories, you know?

Two people's experiences with jobs doesn't affect the fact that there aren't many jobs available and hardly speaks for the nation. Let it be 2000 out of 20 million then. Still a low percentage of people getting employed right? Yes? No?

And so what if Ben's a mod? That lifts him up to some honorary status does it? Bottom line is he's normal - just like everyone else. I still stand by my point.

No attack? Really - you're second comment in red above isn't rude or inflammatory?....

If you read the thread, you will find there are more than only 2 persons with the same view Redway. That does not mean their viewpoint is invalid -nor illogical. It means nothing more than you disagree.

You claim there aren't that many jobs available? How does half a million jobs grab you?

Yes they are. I know these are people's views on the matter. I accept that. I then went on to say that these opinions are illogical, stupid, ignorant and offensive. That's my opinion. I'm allowed to say that and I don't give a flying monkey's if anyone choses to be offended by that. I don't need anyone's approval to voice my views on the matter and if you take offense to that then it's not my problem.

And half a million isn't by any stretch of imigination enough when you have 2.6 million unemployed. Sure, some of this will be taken up by the lazy bastards who simply don't want to work but I'm sure will be outweighed by the decent people who genuinely do want to work.

Looking for work? UK jobs map reveals best and worst places in the country to find employment

21 February 2012

The best and worst places in the UK to find a job have been revealed in a new study which shows there are as many as 80 people for every vacancy in some areas.

Looking at available posts and the number of unemployed in 50 locations researchers were able to put together the study to highlight the competition for jobs across the UK.

Hull emerged as the toughest place to secure a job with a staggering 80 jobless for every available vacancy while Stoke-on-Trent came a close second with 72 people unemployed for each advertised post.

Aberdeen in Scotland was found to be the easiest place to find work, with fewer than one unemployed person for every available job.

The Scottish city’s employment growth continues to be buoyed by oil and gas and the number of vacancies in the industry is at 18 times the national average.

The nature of jobs available also changes from region to region and Aberdeen also boasts the greatest number of available jobs in construction, followed by Derby and Birmingham.

Top ten places to find work


1.Aberdeen
2.Reading
3.Cambridge
4.London
5.Milton Keynes
6.Oxford
7.Guildford
8.Wycombe and Slough
9.Brighton
10.Bristol

Worst ten places to find work

1.Hull
2.Stoke-on-Trent
3.Sunderland
4.Southend
5.Wirral
6.Lanarkshire
7.Rochdale and Oldham
8.Wolverhampton
9.Middlesbrough
10.Swansea Bay

Call centre posts are more readily available in Belfast than anywhere else with the city having three times as many jobs in the industry than the national average, while Manchester leads the way for marketing and sales positions and Edinburgh is best for finance jobs.

What do you mean by that?

[Redway]

Omah you have basically debased your entire argument. You can post all the statistics you want but what was the need in posting that bollocks about Scotland?
