    Send off a CV to each company or as you said its not far from you walk there or get your mum to drop you off and drop in your cv at every one. You might not get a permanent job for the whole time but may get a week at one place, a few days at another, and then somehwere else again. We currently have a temp receptionist for 2 weeks where I work. But please, I have gone to this effort for you, put as much effort in for yourself.

    Thanks so much! yeah Silverburn isn't far in the car...but i would never dream of walking there! lol I will send cv's to them all.
    The only thing i'm wondering is what kind of jobs they offer, as i have no experience of being in an office enviroment. Or much experience with computers, except going online and on msn etc. Is it all mostly office work, or are there other things too?

    I also have problems with "professional" enviroments/employers, as i am heavily tattooed and have facial piercings, which i think has been a big problem in the past at interviews. Which is why i'm asking is it all usually office based work?

    Go to the shopping centre tomorrow, and go into every shop, ask if they have any vacancies, ask to leave your contact details regardless. If the swine flu predictions are true, a lot of companies will be looking for temps to fill in over the next few months.

    You'll get something eventually, when you do, don't spend every penny that comes your way on mobiles, makeup, clothes, and plan ahead. Spending money you don't have, on unnecessary makeup/clothes appears to be the crux of your problem.

    What was the crime? There are over a hundred outlets, did you get fired from every one?

    Find a different shop or shopping centre then.

    Maybe this is a fake, I hate to say it but everyone is being so damn helpful and as said already you have an excuse for everything.

    You got sacked from a job at silver whatever its called, but yet im sure their are more than just that 1 business there.

    Anyhow if you are for real I am sorry for doubting you and I hope you may take note of this comment im about to put with regards to your phone contract and I hope for no excuse on this.
    My contract isn't up till November, i already know the next phone i am going to get, as my whole family are on virgin, except me. It's an £18 a month, unlimited texts and 500 mins plan.



    The only other person in my family with a car is my dad, who i don't talk to. I only have a handful of friends, and none of us are remotley intrested in learning to drive, so none have a car.

    You say you only have a handful of friends, so surely you could scrimp on £5 a month on a pay and go phone, surely if your online you can email them more than text or ring, or get them to call you. When the contract runs out I would really think about pay and go for now until you sort yourself out, you can get free sims these days which you can port an exsisting number onto and just use the sim in your current phone. Phones change all the time and are very costly to keep upto date on just to have equil or better than the friends, its not important right now.

    i do want help, why do you think i'm here asking for it?

    But you are getting lots of help. You have been advice on how to cut down your costs and lots of advice on how to increase your income or find a job. The people on here can't find you a job you have to do that yourself. But people have given you a lot of help and direction and Bubbles has managed to find you lots of place to hand your CV in to, try not to be defeatist, some people may not be prepared to give you a job but the more places have your CV the more chance you have of finding someone who will. One thing is for sure if you stay in bed until midday and don't give out your CV to places nobody is going to come knocking on your door with a job for you.

    You have had advice - now its time for you to help yourself.
