Tai if you wanted a job you could find one easy it took me 2 weeks to get a job I got one with a temp agency and I didn't it 7pm - 7am in a ware house so you think mcdonalds is bad try standing up for 10hours and 30min's, and when I quit the job I all ready had another job in line which was sainsburys doing nights again 11pm-8am and that was good pay think it was somthing around 7.50 ph and on a weekend an extra pound onto it, it takes ball work to get your self on track do somat you wouldnt even like and look for another job while doing it..... or don't you want your "car" seriously start at the bottom work your way up so to speak.

lol what's the need for the quotations around car?

anyway I can't even do nightshifts because how am I going to get there?
I'm relying on other people to give me lifts at the moment and my stepdad works days and my mum works from 2-10pm in Bury every night so she isn't really going to be accessible.

I've already said I don't mind working in Tesco or sumthin for now just to get me started and off the ground money wise.

I would suggest not to get a job in a supermarket or somewhere of similar crapness. The problem is, you might get comfortable and used to a full time wage and not do anything with your life, I wasted 3 years of my life in my last job, was getting £300 per week but working ****loads of hours. Then I craved overtime like a Vicar craves toyshops.

Anyway, if you're looking for something along the lines of an office job, then don't listen to these guys and do manual labour. You gotta be right right type of person for that(I know it's stereotypical, but most labourers are "stupid". The exception being Electricians.)

Try and get a job as maybe a secrectary or administrator. You can clearly type and if you can use excel, bish bash bosh, sorted for life. Or not.

wtf, how can you say that, if it wasnt for labourers nobody would have a clue what to do, labourers are clearly not stupid, let me see you build a house.

tbh im thinking of going on the doll as of next week. y the **** not? every other ****er who is out of a job does it. im skint as **** as well. it's not my problem if ppl dont want to employ me because theyd prefer a polish prick.

i have good enough general computer skills without being an introvert nerd and also more qualifications than most people (according to statistics) so i have no desire to go on some retards course for whatever.

i cant even afford to go out anymore ive never been in this situation in my life tbh and it sucks. have had to turn down 2 offers tonight..

So you will take my money and sit on your ass instead? As bad as an immigrant.

Difference Being, I don't class myself as " Bristish " im English. therefore, i am no where near as bad, seeings as i can't get a house for free and a car, like they can, if i want a council house now, i gotta wait 3 years 0.0.

Ill be perfectly honest with you, im currently on the dole, not because i cant be arsed to work, but the fact is im better of been on the dole than in a job that I earned 20k per year.

I live in a house where the rent is £800 per month (paid for by the council whilst on the dole) along with my £200 per month council tax. Because my other half is registered disabled and we have a joint jobseekers claim we recieved £240 per fortnight jobseekers + another £60 per month disability allowance, and once my baby is registered as born child benefit and income support on top of that. I want to go back to work but why should i when im taking almost £2000 per month in benefits for sitting on my arse at home? If i work it costs me to get there, costs me more for food and I dont get to spend as much time with my son.

Moral of the story is, once you and your partner are 25+ have a child and live together quit work and live on the dole whilst its still beneficial to you, unless you have a super high paid job.
