Ive read all these comments, and yes there are some who are very negative and i doubt they have been in continuous employment like me for the last 20 years.
But i must admit im not sure were most of you get the idea there are many jobs out there when there are cuts left right and centre or many business folding altogether.
My son was interviewed for a job back in feb, he got the job and was given a start date, then the start date was moved to the following week which was all done by e mail. Then by chance on the thur night he checked his e mails to find one from his new job saying the job was no longer, so instead of starting his new job on the mon he had to sign back on the dole. We later found out the company had folded, so he got a job and lost it all in the space of 2 weeks.
It took another 8 months of applying for EVERY job under the sun before he finally got one. Are you trying to make some sort of point or just generally failing at internet use?

The natural reaction to most posts is to be ignored. You shouldn't expect an automatic acknowledgement of every post, and if anyone had any comment to make, they would have done so.
Carpe diem.

I suppose the fact that I empathised with the people who have trouble getting a job as appose to the ones that think they should get off their arse when it is hard out there, just ask the people who have been made redundant from comet in the last week.
I said in my original post about my 21year old son getting a job and LOSING it before he even started it shows how difficult it is out there.
It seems anyone talking with experience of how difficult it is for everyone and especially teenagers out there, is getting ignored while some posters contribute nothing more then .... get off your arse comments.

@SUExx How right you are! The arrogant, the abrasive and the ignorant seem to come and go - like the contents of a Septic Tank!
At least Septic Tanks DO have a use in this world !!

Sorry Suexx , I also ignored your post, but as it followed onto one of mine, the first two line of yours made me think you were having a go at me. So I chose to ignore. Must apologise for my bad behaviour. Very pleased to know your son now has work. Two of mine lost their jobs last week.

Thanks Granny and Morgan, no i was agreeing with what someone else said about negative comments.
Great to no though that we can all clear the air, and sorry about your two losing their jobs. I think its much worse these days then when i was a teenager in the 80,s.

Thankz. They aren't teenagers, one is qualified and working again this week.The other is waiting and it's his rent that's the killer, although he does have, an extremely understanding, landlord.
What I do think is absolutely awful now, is the fact that so many mature men, seem to be having to move back into their parents home. Men in their 30's.It's been happening for the last few years although it is getting worse.
Has anyone else found this to be happening?
