    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.
    Agree entirely Chris, and a concise well thought out handwritten application must surely be better than something knocked out on a keyboard and emailed to an employer. Providing the letter is legible of course. Unfortunately we may be moving towards a time where penmanship gives way to textspeak for God's sake

    I started working part time at 16, got my first full time job at 19 and never had a problem with finding jobs. In fact, I tried two times to take a long break between two jobs only to receive a very lucrative offer and take up a new job immediately after quitting the old one.

    Unfortunately, that stopped once I moved to Ireland, it took me 8 months to land my first job here and it was a 3-month contract. It took me another 6 months to find my next job and eventually I got a permanent contract but I had to fight for it tooth and nail. Now this job is absolute bullshit and I really want to quit but this experience makes me very reluctant to try my luck again.

    A long time ago, I started full time work at the age of fifteen with no qualifications, but was never out of work until I retired 11 years ago.

    I was technically unemployed for six weeks when I was 19, but moonlighted in that time. From age 21, I never had to look for a job, they were offered to me and many employers asked me not to leave, but I moved on. I was in charge of a sixty man workforce by 26 and had fifty years in civil engineering behind me when I retired.

    None of it was really planned, it just worked out that way.

    I'd like to work a bit again, but it would have to be my own business.

    Didn't realise you were 76 Geoff?

    Yes, I had all that 'You're indispensable' bo**ocks when I said I was retiring but they managed to replace me with an extra accountant & two more admin assistants

    Is he really? he sounds so young

    When I finished my apprenticeship in 1979 I left to work at another firm, two years later the company, established 1885, closed its doors and two years after that the building was demolished and has been a car park ever since. Just sayin'.

    Sack me at your peril!
