Sup folks?

Anyone know any places that have vacancies and are likely to take someone on?

I've applied for so many jobs and got nothing back, the jobcentre seems to be a waste of time too. I'll do anything at all except cleaning.

:confused:
 
Good luck with your search.

I can understand not wanting to make cleaning your lifelong job, but most employers would look more favourably at someone who was employed as a cleaner, and who therefore could supply references, as well as an apptitude for work, than someone who was currently doing nothing.

Personally I've done all kinds of demeaning jobs, before I found my ideal job.

It is tough, so as said earlier, good luck with your search.
 
Julie applied for a cleaning job at Accy Timber 10 years ago, shes now Area Administrator for the North West.

As Rindy says, the willingness to do menial tasks shows the work ethic better than any CV can.

You really should have some idea of what you want to do long term and work towards that. Otherwise you are unlikely to enjoy what you do and then it becomes a bore. You spend far too much time at work to not enjoy what you do.
 
Hey even cleaning jobs require quals & experience these days - surprisingly even those types of work are fussy on requirements. Need a little job myself & yes the jobcentre plus is very dire indeed as much as it displeases the majority assuming jobs are 2 a penny, its not that easy when been out of work for some time for good reason doing courses yet long time out or those starting on the rung of work tho least young people have connections [th'owd career service to us owdies lol] not that much scope for help for rest of us other than jobcentre for rest of us & when thats bad where else do you look........no not the Observer either unless u can get to work in Manchester/Rochdale area, local paper nowt much local in job front if u dont have your own transportation means:(

Things must have changed a lot - i found the careers service invaluable when i was younger - still have things from them now that counts on my cv as impressive. Nowadays finding hours round family & being local is more the hardship for me, hence finding cleaning jobs or menial work are particular in their employee standards - catch 22 but there is no other job/careers service that caters for the over 25's, stuck with jobcentre plus or find one on your own.
 
Have you thought about doing home caring Stanleymad? Don't think transport is essential as you can work locally. Think there is a place to enquire on Dutton Street, could be worth a try and I'm sure they would be able to arrange your hours to work round your children.
 
You tried obvious places like Asda etc they seem to employ for the Christmas period, if you get took on at least it would be a stopgap till something better came along.
 
 
Try agencies mate. Loads of them around and they all need staff for this time of year. Probably only be temp till christmas but some do take staff on perm if they impress.
 
I'm looking for perm. Sick of being in and out of jobs every 3 months, doing my nut in.

You fancy going on the look on weekend or something?
 
Anywhere really.. We'll stroll round and go in anywhere thats open?

You live in Huncoat don't you??

Or is it Harwood?
 
Huncoat. I know a couple of places that might be looking for staff. Just depends what hours you want to do and what experience you got.
 
Lol. I know a bar thats after some staff. Id apply myself but the hours aint really suitable for me at moment.

Yeah, me too. Busy down the pub.. I ain't doing no work weekends giving people their fix when I should be having it. :D

Don't fancy that one mate! ;)

Will be looking hard though, really want to get my hands on a 360 or PS3, haha. :rolleyes:
 
try knocking on some doors (go in and ask), you get further if you actually go to the firms and ask for work, depending of course on what you want to do, if its factory work, go to as many places as you can and ask, most places will train you to do the work, my hubby's work's get peep's knocking, thats how he got his job there, hope you find somewhere soon, good luck
