Hey guys feel your pain have been unemployed since august. I have experience in IT, telecoms, customer services (phone monkey when I left uni) and industrial painting in my early 20s. Because I did what the government asked and became flexible in the employment I have taken my CV reads like I dont know what the heck I want to do. I have applied for over a 100 jobs with no success and am in the middle of preparing 3 different CVs for different job types. The problem im having is when I take out my IT/Telecoms experience to apply for factory jobs or when I take out my painting/industrial experience to apply for IT/Telecoms jobs there are huge gaps that look Ive been sat on my !!! for years. Guess ill just have to lie and hope I dont get found out.....Not happy having to tell lies but its tough out there"I told you I was ill" Spike milligans headstone0

taking a minimum wage job maybe a good 'start', but that will leave me even worse off, and than i will have to make time to look for a 'proper' job..Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
