I get £60.50 a week income support.
Lilly I phoned the wine bar but didnt speak to the manager and was just told to leave my number and they would get back to me, they never did. I phoned over and over again to get to speak to the manager but never got to speak to him. Its their loss they wouldnt get a better bar maid
and certainly not one who has more qualifications for working in a pub. I did numerous courses when I worked for Thwaites including customer service and cellar management. The nearest bar jobs on job centre website are Bolton! Thats how bad it is round here. I've applied for admin jobs as well as I have an ECDL and working knowledge of Sage Accounts programme, but not getting anywhere. I'll keep plugging away though, it is very disheartening though as ive been out of work for 4 months after being made redundant I couldnt tell you how many jobs i've applied for, well over 100 though. Agencies are rubbish as well.
