Looking for a job

DJIP

Is the most depressing thing ever, especially when you just can't find a thing!

DON'T DO IT KIDS!

It can be a very disheartening experience. The trick I found is to keep a routine going to keep order. Otherwise you slip down the slippery slope of depression. Even if it means dragging yourself out at 8am to go out on bike or something.

Another thing...stay away from gaming any more than you would if you were working.


Keep at it and good luck

Stick at it, something's bound to turn up.

You forgot the giant plasma TV. And the 5 kids.

Hey, I'm not greedy, I'm prepared to settle for the house and the xbox. After all, there's a recession on

also, dont forget all of these people are illegal immigrants who sell the furniture in their free council house and the council has to replace it all at the cost of the tax payer

Dental Nurse, I work with a few and even if you're daft you'd still do alright.

MountainMonster

Dental nurses do eff all. It@s quite funny really.

I remember she just typed what the dentist said, and got paid 30k a year for it. Not a bad life.

I don't know how anyone can stay on the dole for a long time, it's boring not working.

True this- I had 10 weeks off work when I broke my hip and by the end I was going mad, it was actually a pleasure to get back to work. I'm getting a decent redundancy payment so I could literally take a couple of years off without having to cut back much but I'd lose my mind I'm sure.

Dunno - from where I'm looking a year off could be filled with all sorts of fun stuff and other stuff I need to do apart from work. From what I've heard from mates who have been given a pay-off, the most depressing thing about not being in work is the endless applications for new jobs - until the cash starts running out.

Wish they'd give me redundancy, removes the hard decision about whether to walk out of the job.....

Northwind

Aye, that's where I was- I've been wanting out for a year but also knew that they'd be closing my team down sooner or later so I've just been hanging on. Miserable stuff really. I'm going to give myself a bit of time off in January before I start really looking for anything permanent, but I'm ex-bank and there's loads of demand for finance temps just now (nobody's hiring permanents so all of RBS and Lloyds is completely run by temps and contractors!)

There's a limit to how many laps I can do of glentress red though before i start to lose it, right?

I can think of worse things

I'm in finance of sorts as well - trouble is we're far too bl00dy busy for me to have a chance of being made redundant. It would need an epic work related fail (which ain't such a great thing to happen) or a takeover by another company (please....). Haven't had more than 4 weeks off work since leaving Uni and quite fancy the idea of a student style few months off, preferably paid for by a former employer.
