I don't know what to do it wil take ages to get another job

You could always go cap in hand and see if your old job is still available explaining you made a big mistake. May be if you were good at your job they may offer you a few shifts.

Keep your head down and keep going, and keep applying for any jobs that come up at the job centre or local newspaper. It is awful when you hate your job but you need the wage so its best to put up with it for now. Hopefully you'll get something soon. Best of luck.

my old job don't take back ex staff that's there rules

Well first thing I'd do, is start looking for another job! It aways seems easier to find one while you're in employment. Or could you take evening classes or something to get some better qualifications? Or check you might be eligable to have your rent paid etc, if you want to go back to full time education. Meanwhile when you are at work, try and grin and bear it, keep thinking it's only temporary, a stop-gap until something better comes along

Then I agree with the previous posts. Good luck with finding something in the future.

Try Gumtree, there are sometimes jobs on there. Its also worth trying the agencies as they often hire waiting staff via that method. Where are you roughly? I'll give you a hand to look if you like.

No point in dreading work. New Year, new start.

I will start job searching but how will I explain reason for such short time on my cv or interviews
Will it look bad

What is this job you hate?

[Maydup]

Say it wasn't busy enough for you Tonim, or that you want to try for a more responsible position.

Stay with the job that you've got - you have a guaranteed income . I hope things will get better , but don't throw away your job .

[Maydup]

....And yes, stay with it while you're job hunting.

Rise above it. Just be very focussed on the work. Become their hardest, friendliest worker they've ever had and don't take part in the staff politics. Spend all your spare time looking for a better job with more pay in a better place. Your enthusiasm and friendly outlook will come across at the interview for the job you really want to get so it won't matter you didn't stay long at this place. Employers know people move on for all sorts of reasons. If you move on over and over again with short periods in each place eventually you might get someone say "your CV looks quite 'busy'!" ( a euphemism for 'dodgy'!) - but someone only said that to me after I'd moved on a dozen times - and I still got the next job! You'll find something better. There's always something better.
