I''ve done all this GG, I have about 5 different CV's
the problem is I'd had very well paid jobs in the past, last 3 salaries 65k, 50k, 102k which means questions are automatically asked about why I'm applying for jobs that pay much less.
on the other hand, in over 90% of the interviews I've actually had, I've been offered the role, so I'm not a complete hopeless case.
not much I can do at the moment, due to the chemo, but hopefully in a month or two I'll be a bit more proactive.It's a health benefit ...0 -
...i've applied for over 40 jobs in the past 6 months, I have a doctorate, and 2 masters degrees, as well as a great deal of experience.
the number of interviews I've had
none.

...and what does a person who boasts 2 masters plus a doctorate compute 90% of zero to be exactly?"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -

Thing is why do those who are unemployed and on benefits get tarred with the same brush? Yes there are people who screw the system, problem is should this apply to everyone then, i.e if you are black then certain places won't accept you because some shootings have been to do with blacks? If a person pays their bills on time, looks after the property then surely what does it matter whether they work or not?0

My best tenants both claimed HB.
The one that did no work had almost 90% of the rent paid by HB. The one who works part time only gets 25% of it paid. Both have been good payers and have been treated well by me.
The working couple were scum.
