Why Might I Be Struggling For A Job?

[abbeylee90]

I keep applying for jobs as I want to get out of selco as you know but I can't even get an interview

[naomi24]

Well, there's no point in making mountains out of molehills and worrying for nothing.

[abbeylee90]

No just get a full time job.

[naomi24]

Hopefully something will turn up soon.  Are you contacting the agencies regularly?

[abbeylee90]

They send me jobs but want me to start next day.

[naomi24]

Have you asked Selco if they'll let you go without working your notice? 

[calmck]

Abbey I asked you before if you are with the right agency. If they are asking you to start immediately they might be a "Temporary Agency" that have jobs to fill immediately for a short while and a full time employment agency

[abbeylee90]

No I haven't.

All agencies have different types.

Naomi someone told me other day probably would have to work my 2 weeks.

[naomi24]

Ask the Manager.  He must know you need more hours.

Abbey,having to start a job the very next day could work out well - but it also means you don't get very much time to learn anything about the firm, shop, whatever. 

[abbeylee90]

They got an overtime ban so won't give them to me.

[bednobs]

are you seriously saying someone had to show you how to hold a cloth to clean, and that you've been doing it wrong previously? i dunno why no-one has told you before

[abbeylee90]

The  best way to do it 

[bednobs]

tbh, youve answered your own question there then - youre strugging because the jobs you do are not in your skillset

[abbeylee90]

How he does it because they're reusable cloths and make them last longer.

[abbeylee90]

I live local to my job, is it a bad thing if I apply for a job further?

[newmodarmy]

Why do you think it might be a bad thing? What do you mean by 'bad thing'?

[newmodarmy]

Bad for you, bad for the employer, bad for the environment, bad for your family?

[abbeylee90]

For me like swapping a jon for one further

Abbey, you won't want to spend hours travelling to and from work five days a week, but you need to be realistic. You've not found a full-time job in the last couple of years, you've not found a job that you really like and/or do well in - so you'll need to be prepared to stretch yourself a bit.
