Sometimes I doubt if the people on here could get the right bear in a million years. Bare = to expose. bear = animal or to carry

Also anyone want to give me a job

I have no references because i got sacked from my last 2 jobs
no qualifications because in am idiot

my personal profile is that i am a slacker who enjoys chit chatting and clock watching and generally not very productive. Actually im probably negatively productive

So i know youll all be queuing up, so just pm me please


The government are wanting people up in Newcastle.

HMRC, the DSA and DWP were all advertising in Thursdays job paper, I do very little apart from clock watch.

If its any consolation I didnt get a job with Virgin Media that I applied for, dont know why too which is annoying and they dont give personal feed back. I have bags of experience in call centers and other places, itd be an easy job to fall into. But twats didnt give me a job

I got rejected from Tescos before I got my part time 118118 job. That sucked!

Now ive got an internship with Barclays Capital ... I can only assume my CV writing skills have improved  8-)

Talking of jobs, i grabbed myself one to, just before xmas, working for a service centre, we repair brown/white goods

Currently im in the office, its fun, varied and laid back and with all the engineers i have access to an infinite amount of tech

Thinking about the amount of money I earn, and the effort I have to put in to get it, Im not suprised so many people are work-shy.

your value to an employer isnt necessarily correlated with the number of hours or the amount of effort you put in

This is why I reckon IT can provide some decent opportunities for people - if you find an area where your skill set is in demand or you acquire a skill set that is in demand you can demand a decent rate for your time and effort.

In my older teenage years I was always applying for jobs in supermarkets, however they never came about. For some unknown reason I never got 1 interview from a supermarket, suppose it was fate for me never to work in one I suppose...

Speaking of jobs, Does anyone know what its like to work for a Recruitment Agency? They seem to pay a good wage, an advert in the jobs paper said upto £26K basic and then OTE earnings. Its a sales position, which is what I want, you have an abundance of customers and companies seem to want to employ people, so seems like a win-win situation.
