how can I get a decent job...

[criminal666]

At the moment the UK is undergoing a huge downer, the country is heading towards a recession and everyone is budgeting every single penny...

BUT...
I just want to know why I am unable to get a decent well paid permanent job... Im 25years old, have a degree in IT, alot of experiance in general admin jobs and look the part - you know the usual crap smart for work etc...

Im not a friggn alien or retard and am able to work and flexible and drive but i dont seem to get anywhere...

can anyone advice on what i should do...my CV's fine and my attitude in tune (the last time i checked).

atm im a temp for an agency , some data entry crap for �6.50 an hour working with some rude overweight trollops who talk about their 6 week holidays to the bahamas all day...

any advice folks

[CheekyChops]

Your attitude is in tune?

"...working with some rude overweight trollops who talk about their 6 week holidays to the bahamas all day..."

Sounds to me like it needs a bit more fine tuning.

[criminal666]

Yes its fine, and clearly you missed the question, do you work for an agency??

you seem like one of those people who I see in a job agency you know miss the point people...

and it wasnt a bad comment they are its a fact, work isnt about boasting and show boating its about work and having the right attitude, maybe your an overweight trollop like them?...

[liart]

have you tried posting your CV on line to various job centres and to firms that you can get web page address ?

[peanut273]

�6.50 may not be good...but its a start!

More than some...Due to the credit crunch you should be happy you have a job, so many are left without...

Y not try looking and applying for new IT jobs...

Try Gumtree.com

& in the mean time appreciate what some people haven't got at the moment!

[CheekyChops]

You can't get a job because there is a recession looming, companys are generally getting rid of staff not hiring and there are 100+ applicants for every vacancy. Plus you have an attitude problem. Simple.

And for your information I am neither a trollop nor overweight - and I don't work for an agency either but if I did, you wouldn't get a job.

[kjc]

well said cheeky chops.
I'm with you.

[criminal666]

cheeky chops you dont know me and if you did you would watch those words of yours,

i didnt ask you for your thoughts on me i asked a general question to people on the situation im in, not for you to say whether you like me or not, infact i dont give a damn what you think...
you either : a trollop, some bimbo tart, some stupid pratt who watches x-factor and listens to hip hop (typical chav person) or some faggot who thinks he /she is better than everyone else


kjc - you just extras like bile, or afterbirth clearly you cant state your own opinion what are you? some kind of butt chimney cleaner?

the rest i thank for your normal answers

If your application letters reads like your postings then employers will not be interested in you- they sound very aggressive and you need to start using apostophes in words like I'm and didn't.

You may need to lower your initial expectations and seek a salaried role at a level similar to your current earnings and then hope to work your way up. Perhaps a call centre. Or you need to find a temporary role that uses your skills better (e.g. web designer). In your agency role you should go the extra mile to impress some of the overweight trollops and build up some connections - and keep an eye open for opportunities in those companies. If you are good enough they will offer you something.
Let us know how you get on.

I take it this was a serious post! If so you need to read the replies and take it in. I'm old enough to remember 3 'downturns' in the economy - they're tough! At this time, a jobs a job, so take what you can. A few years back a friend of mine was made redundant at 40yo from a well paid job and was in your position, until he offered to work a month for no wages, eventually he was taken on. His 'I'll do anything' attidude didnt make him many friends, but the bosses soon recognised what they had, made him up, gave him a car and he was on the road, never to look back. Take that chip off your shoulder mate, the world doesn't owe you a living, a degree with little experience is worth jacksh*t when there are experienced people out there.

I thought you were a probation officer - that's a permanent, secure job.

[Ethel]

Your spelling, grammar and punctuation are quite poor for administrative posts, so perhaps you are better suited to manual labour.

[Ice.Maiden]

Ethel's right, and along with your hostile manner, this probably comes over during interviews.
Best of luck anyway.

[criminal666]

im not really writing 'properlly' on here so dont give me that spelling BS CRAP ethel why dont you just go back to walford and find dot cotton and help her with some ******* washing up.

and yes i do have experiance im 25 not some school leaver. ive worked since 16 part time and whilst studying

maybe its a colour thing, and ICEcream i have to be hostile on here since everyone else is so hostile,

and i dont have a chip on my shoulder and how i write on here is not a reflection on my education and literacy its just an internet anwserbank not an english a-level exam.

there really are some winny old **** wits in this place.

You may have a degree in IT but your close attention to detail may be suspect. Did you check your message for spelling accuracy before you posted it?
In a time of recession, whatever employers are able to offer jobs have the advantage of being highly selective, lapses in spelling on an application form, no matter how well the CV is presented, consign you to the out tray. This may be a website in which you feel you can express your right to vent your frustration but, given your situation, did you present yourself positively?

[Huttonite]

Dear criminal666
When I compiled my answer to your initial question I did not read the attached postings.
I have since read through the exchanges between those giving you helpful advice and your reaction. My suspicion is that you are a 'windup merchant'. If that is the case, it is absolutely 'criminal' that you exploit the good intentions of those people who have tried to help you. Are you trying to emulate Henry Root?

[criminal666]

i like you all very much
