| Surely the single biggest stumbling block for people looking for work right now, especially young people, is the sheer number of people applying?
The more people you are competing against then surely logic dictates that there is a higher chance of competing against someone with better qualifications, more experienced or who simply does better at interview? For younger people, especially those just out of college or school, then they are going to be competing against more people with experience.

| In incase anyone is interested I have just recived an E-Mail from Asda saying that I have got a christmas job (29th Nov to 2nd Jan).
That will put paid to my mortgage insurance claim (3 months left) as it is fixed term work which isn't covered.
I have been told by folks I know that work there the chances of being kept on are low but it is a chance I am willing to take as the thought of another year signing on doesn't bear thinking about.
Still Standee says I dont want to work so....

Hope it goes well. Hope the mortgage insurance thing doesn't become a problem.

| Quote DHM="DHM"Ignore him. I moved around all over the country to work for various reasons. Then I had kids and I wouldn't move now if you put a bomb under my backside. If I lost my job and couldn't get another without relocating I'd take the state for every penny I could if it meant my kids could finish school here where they've grown up, with their friends and where they feel safe.
Next the same whingers who complain about people not travelling to the ends of Britain uprooting their families (who they shouldn't even have without the correct amount of funding in place for the next 20 years) will be b!tch!ng about "broken Britain" and the demise of the "community". You can't have a f*****g community if everyone has to move every 6 months from one rented craphole to another all around the country to stack supermarket shelves and work as temps in warehouses or farm fields.'"
I moved from end of the country to pretty much the other end of the country back in 1988, to look for work. But I didn't have a house to try to sell – I'd lost it in the second recession of the decade after being made redundant for the umpteenth time – and I didn't have any dependents.
The same people that you mention would doubtless proclaim the importance of 'family life' – except, apparently, when it might actually mean something.

To be fair to the supermarkets though their's is the only turnover that is increasing year on year and they are among the few businesses that are still opening new outlets, Asda are moving into the "Metro" style stores after buying Netto and there could be opportunities there which are often only advertised internally.
You need to spend your time "networking" or brown-nosing the management there as often they will know of openings coming up.
Best of luck.

With respect, I'm asking what that experience is. I'm not looking for a fight or to make a point, I'm assuming if he's worked 19 years and his Mrs is in HR, between them they know what they're doing.
Genuinely interested what field he's in.

| Some of the comments on this thread make me sad. It's oh so easy for those fortunate enough not to have lost their jobs during the recession to sit there and pontificate to those who are struggling through no fault of their own.
I hope not only that everything works out for Anakin, but that those who have been so callous towards him in this thread one day get to experience a similar predicament to his first hand.

It does help when they get away with bullying suppliers and producers into funding in-store price cuts for them – and when they get free labour paid for by you and me.
