Had that pinned to my wall beside my monitor when Jobsearching...
He works!

Fun fact, my Son sent me this when he saw me struggling.
Never say never.

The older you get, the harder it is. If I ever get made redundant here, I very much doubt I will be able to find another job easily.

Congratulations on finding the job, and top marks for preserving.

All low hour contracts these days. The worse ones are those that have you in all week just to make your low contract up. This shit needs stopping imho..

O ive sent hundreds of applications in even had loads of interviews, They dont even bother telling you that you have been unsucessfull nowadays..

The recruitment industry will surprise just how far they can stoop into what should be illegal practices,
Here are the tools you need to discover what each job advert is really up to 1. a mozilla browser 2. https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/
You will need to then sort through the java scripts they use to discover what they contain.

Invariably the person who you think is a potential employer is sending your information to numerous other bodies, who very sadly act to select certain criteria totally unrelated to the job to
then select who ( if at all ) they then proceed with. It is a sick practice.... but can be dispensed with by writing to each employer by post., frustrating their online games.

If your "potential employer" is just passing on your details to third parties, then your postal application is just going into their bin. So that's a waste of a stamp then. I suppose it depends what type of work you're after, my area used to be graphic art and print, but for the last 20 years has been to do with the building trade, where fortunately being there in person is the order of the day

Well done on getting your new job Andre, hope it works out. Now get up them apples'n'pears, busy day tomorrow

If so then that is indicating your job application stood no chance anyway. But far better people always use written applications rather than their information being sold online, do you agree ?
In time if it becomes habit the recruitment industry would be discovered for what they are really up to, which is all ready well known, to have little to do with offering actual employment.

If the employer is binning posted applications you would have every right to lodge a discrimination claim based on employment opportunity - providing evidence of posting then letter from
the employer, your information could not be produced at the hearing. With 40,000 lets say such claims per week the recruitment industry would be forced to accept written applications
as the only valid means of gaining employment.

Indeed just turning up at work sites might yield a result.

Those who just love being unemployed & just play the game love all that..
