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

I know haha it does look a bit odd, nevermind eh?
I haven't avoided giving you an answer pyra, the 'skilled retail sector' means just that those whose quals are in this sector,retail management, customer service..
It most certainly doesen't prove what you have said at all...
It is in no way an excuse..As lee clarified she was using that evening/ weekend example for school leavers, my saying it would be unworkable for parents is valid as your wage would be swallowed up with sitters and travel costs.
Unfortunately I never found my friends and family that accomodating..Not to give up their evenings and weekends indefinately anyway.
I am aware you have all found work and I am very happy for you all, however my initial point was, and still is it is not that easy for everyone.
