Its not that hard to get a job, if you can't find one it says more about you than the "lack" of work

National statistics show that unemployment is around the 2.5 million mark, with available job vacancies standing at around half a million.

The 2.5m include benefit skanks who don't want a job, the disabled who can't work and those well enough to not have to work. In some cases it also includes self employed and freelance workers. The statistics for available job vacancies are only predictions based on job advertisements from selected agencies. If people are having that hard a time finding a job, you've got to be pretty rubbish if you can't even manage a Christmas temp job at a low end store. Both statistics are severely flawed and only used in light of the media reaction to the recession

I don't have an impressive or stable work history and am only I'm 21 yet I'm a customer service manager. I clearly got my job based on determination and potential given some of the people I was up against

I don't have an impressive or stable work history yet I'm 21 and a customer service manager.
At least you have youth on your side - it's not so easy for those aged 50 plus who have been made redundant to find another job. Not everyone on benefits is workshy or disabled. Furthermore those older workers who have paid their taxes and national insurance contributions for 30 odd years are entitled to every benefit they get - the ones who deserve nothing are those who have contributed zilch into the system whether by virtue of their extreme youth or because they are newly arrived in this country, or because they are indeed plain workshy skivers. If people in these categories can't find paid work then they should be compelled to carry out community work in return for their benefits.

Just to clear up people claiming benefits legitimatly- fine. I was referring to those who can't be bothered to get a job so are on job seekers allowance indefinitely or wrongly claim incapacity benefit/DLA by faking illness. All are lumped in with the unemployment stats. The actual number of people out of work and looking for it is a fraction of the 2.5m thrown about. The 0.5m jobs available figure was thrown about 1-2 years ago and unemployment is going down yet the 0.5m figure is still there.

Another little ploy used to massage the unemployment figures is to periodically send JSA claimants on pointless "courses" which temporarily removes them from the unemployment statistics. As regards the job vacancies available, many of them are temporary and/or consist of positions offering as little as 8 hours a week, and/or offering minimum wage which then results in those employees still having to claim tax credits and housing benefits to arrive at a basic cost of living wage.

I fully expect to be lambasted for what I am about to write but hey, goes with the territory. I agree with the poster above.

Initally, the girl with the cardboard notice - is being resourceful, for that she gets top marks.

Unfortunately, as I am in the position of employing people. First impressions are everything. I realise money will be tight - and I don't expect her to wear an Armani suit, but FGS, a cheap budget one that actually fitted her would be a good start. It's about 2 sizes too big as is the shirt. She must have a friend that she could borrow from?

Her hair might be clean, but it doesn't appear clean. The way it is scraped back gives out a message to me, which says, "this will do". Not the best impression.

If this girl appeared at a regular interview that I was holding. Sorry, but I'd be inclined to say, "Not for me".

What a loser. Not the fact that she doesn't have a job, but that she felt the need to go to the press about this?

Welcome to the real world. It's ****ing tough. And 80 jobs? You could apply for 80 jobs in a damn week. Try harder but don't beg.
