I'm sorry for your own situation Kizzy but that should not stifle anyone elses right to discussion - as you are attempting to do with the personalisation and emotive words you are using.

Try using a persons full comments as quoted Kiz, rather than cherry picking bits to suit your own agenda.

my full comment was:

I do believe that there is an element of those seeking jobs, who expect it all to land in their lap and who 'create obstacles' in them gaining employment. I do feel that there are those in society who do bleat that there are no jobs available - when they really don't do a great to help themselves - just as I am sure there are those who do try hard and long, with no success.

I'll go on the premise that you aren't understanding what the words I used, mean:- 'an element of those seeking jobs who expecte it all to land in their land and who create obstacles....' means.

It means not everyone... it means some, not all.

I just stated I was not doing this pyra...you are just repeating yourself now.
If I have personalised the issue it is because you did...It was your own personal experience that it was easy to find employment..It is my experience that it is not.
I only quoted sections of your post as I felt you contradicted yourself, if you don't agree fine.
I do understand pyra thankyou.

You say that in your own experience, that it is not easy to find employment. Do you mean that you are finding it difficult to obtain a job in your chosen field, and remain unemployed whilst you hunt?

What would prevent you from taking on temporary work in the interim - there are many many such vacancies via agencies that can be used to fill the gaps - as well as providing opportunities to you in fields that perhaps you would never have considered previously - as well as gaining new experience in different job roles.

Not patronising you at all Kizzy. I'm asking you for some contribution as to why you keep saying it is so difficult to find employment.

I'm asking you a question -that is a world away from being patronising.

I have found it difficult because the positions I have applied for have been unsuccessful pyra....

Yep, that's normally how it normally works Kiz.

My questions were very clear. Perhaps the jobs you have applied for were not jobs that you were right for? Only you know the answer to that - and clearly, you aren't willing to discuss why you are being unsuccessful.

I also see that you avoided (again) any reply about the option of using agencies for temporary work in the interim and avoided any further dicussion on the merits and benefits of trying to secure work through such means .

Try defending your side of the argument instead of personally attacking the poster Omah.

Not at all, however if you wish to perceive it as so, you are free to do so.

It does nothing to negate the fact that despite public perception that it is so incredibly difficult to get work - this is not always the case - which is the fundamental basis of the discussion.
