[SPUGGIE J]

I like a few on here have been found surplass to requirements on a few occasions and hated it. Though I have picked up other work there is always that niggling thought that it will happen again as its already started at my place. There is little work about and as there are more bodies per job it is now an employers market again. It could have been a Saturday job evening job part time or full time. When you lose your job it takes a lump out of you and a bit of independence and self relience and belief disappears.

There is no such thing as a job for life anymore as such. As we try to improve our chances it is possible to be over qualified, over the hill, over enthusiastic etc etc etc. In the current climate it will be down to luck if you find the job you want, but my belief is that "if a job puts coin in the pocket or purse then its better than none."

I will take any job that puts coin in my pocket regardles of the wage. Ok there will be more minimum wage jobs now but even that helps give some self respect. If anyone wants a job they will find one, may not be what they want but once in a job it can be easier to find another one. So I hope that those that are left jobless at Woolies will find something. It will not be easy and the job centre/benefit agency are as useful as they want to be depending on what side of bed they get out of.
