Do you have a job?

[Inseriousity.]

Been looking for a job for ages but uni time means that it's hard to find a flexible one that'll fit in my studies. Neversoft pretty much summed up my summer as well except that I'd rather have work to do no matter how trivial or unpleasant it is

[dirrty]

i'm at uni and don't want/need a job.

[wixard]

yes i work at a petrol station
it sucks

[Camy]

Yeah, I work in Sainsburys. Used to work the checkouts and despised it, so I got a move to the café in it as soon as they're was an opening.

[Robbie]

nope, on the dole. £450 overdrawn yay.

na used to work at mcdonalds, which i actually quite enjoyed even if it was hell on earth. looking for a job every week down at my good friend the jjob centre but there really isn't much around.

i'd only be able to do weekends at the moment anyway with looking after my sister which sucks.

before i had my job i went to job centre (every 2 weeks i think) and they were meant to try and help you find a job, they were so useless! They didn't even bother and then they had like training courses and things like that and come away with 'oh no you can't do that unless you've been unemployed for X amount of time" great thanks for the help

oh yeah the job centre is ****. it's more a benefit office than what it claims to be, i'm going on friday (woo). they know i'm going back to uni in september so they've really given up with finding me a job and they'd prefer just to give me the £112 (YES ITS GONE UP) every 2 weeks.

they won't send me on a lot of stuff (there was a retail open day last week) because i've been employed before which is a bit like ... what.

Oh yeah, I was on jobseekers for a few months, they're absolutely useless. All they did was check their website, and tell me to apply for certain things, the exact same thing I was doing at home 3/4 times a week anyway.
They eventually sent me on some 'work programme' where it was the exact same crap, after 6 months or so, I never had one interview, and they never checked on what I was doing, they just went on what I wrote down. They were just interested in getting me out the door as quick as possible. Eventually got the job in sainsburys, when a friend who already worked in there told me it was coming up, and I got in there early.

[cocaine]

no, but i've been applying EVERYWHERE since i ever came down to uni. it's ridiculous how hard it is to get a job here, i'd actually happily clean toilets on the weekends for some money. i'm not even joking. it's not like i don't even have experience - i've had 3 jobs and one of them was with John Lewis, and everyone knows how professional/expert in customer care they are. dammit!
