Just been to the Jobcentre drive thru...

Yes it's even worse now I thought we would have to fight for a pen there seems to be so many people unemployed down there. You cannot blame the staff they are doing their job but it does show that the system of getting people into work which was changed a few years ago does not work anymore. They need to go back to basics and think of retraining jobseekers as soon as possible after a consultation period to asess their sutability.

I have started to apply for mainly sales roles as they seem to be on the up whereas everything else is on the decline. Was not happy with google today though as their Gmail is down!

I've decided to continue...

Well I've decided to start making regular entry's into my blog again sorry for being away but the whole job market has been so quiet I've been a bit down in the dumps.

So let's re-focus and start being more constructive. Over the past few weeks I have been applying for sales jobs but with no success as there must be loads of qualified people out there and I have no sales background. I am looking forward to my 3 month review with the jobcentre so I can talk about any self employed business options they might offer me.

The 3 million unemployed people in this country need help and maybe in April new opportunities might arise. Northern rock will be back on it's feet soon offering mortgages and the car industry could recover if people gain more confidence let's hope so.

Thanks for the comments I will look into doing more PC repair as I have tons of skills there and if anyone wants any garden work or decorating let me know!

I will discuss my drive-thru visit to the jobcentre tomorrow. Bye
