Are There ANY Areas Now Where Jobs Are Growing?

tell you what

lets all be negative....

There are no Jobs and we are all going to die

Almost right, there are few jobs.

We are all going to die someday though. Unless they make some pretty major medical breakthroughs.

But that does mean, that undertaking is a business that is unlikely to go out of business....

And there the problem lies.

The reality is that for every job advertised in the 'scanty' job page, there will likely be hundreds of applicants for that job.

Maybe you 'cannot stand' people seeking work being negative but it is also apparent you cannot 'understand' either.

You failed to mention in your rebuff of my post whether or not you are in employment - I suspect you are - but I stand to be corrected.

After being out of work a few months, even people with the most positive of outlooks can eventually become depressed - particularly if there is a likelihood of failing to service debt and a family to feed.

I am not doubting that there are some jobs in care either - but that is of scant comfort to anyone who does not have the appropriate skills or qualification to work in that sector - or indeed the other areas mentioned in your earlier post.

As I alluded to earlier, there will be another 1,000 people in the North East checking the scanty job pages tomorrow and it is likely that many of those will also feel like the OP in the not too distant future.

I am employed, I have been unemployed in the past

This is the post that I am talking about, it is not from the original OP

"Care growing? :rotfl:
The public purse is shrinking!
However very low paid jobs, with few rights, mainly on 0hrs contracts are probably growing, there is a shift in this direction.
Cheaper, and gives more control to the client."


Now how does that help anyone. The OP has asked for help and gets dismal,unhelpful posts like that.

Since then others have posted links and advice etc, all good stuff. So how does it help somebody to post negative stuff like above?

A lot of the jobs which I mentioned you do not need a huge amount of training, care workers can start with basic training, as can customer service staff. Security staff need a SIA licence but there are ways and means to get one of those. All are available I would imagine in most places in the UK.

If the OP doesn't want those jobs thats cool but they are all available and there are jobs in those areas.

It seems if you have the money, you can get a SIA licence without much hassle, they gave out loads of them to illegal immigrants, even the prime ministers car was being looked after by an illegal immigrant who had a sia licence...

Exactly

And there are companies who will train you and give you a job afterwards. They take the cost of the SIA licence (£245) out of your wages.

I have been unemployed in the past

I won't dispute that - but in an economic climate and unemployment like we have today?

And being critical of someone whose glass is half empty as opposed to being half full is helpful? terra_ferma's post may be perceived by some as unhelpful, but realistic nonetheless.

Also true - but answer me this - why would a company fork out to train someone or pay for SIA accreditation etc. when there are thousands who have appropriate training in these sectors already looking for that type of work?

To avoid an online slanging match, I think we will have to agree to disagree as our opinions are certainly not in alignment on the issues raised. I would suggest that others will draw their own conclusions.

So are we suggesting that one has to obtain requirements for a job by illegal means?

I know it happens, but this is another obstacle that LAW ABIDING job seekers have to compete against.

No, they did not get them illegally as far as I know, the SIA are just about as much use as a chocolate firegaurd when it comes to vetting...

They must have obtained them fraudulently by virtue of the suggestion that the recipients were 'Illegal Immigrants'.

I know what you mean though. The SIA license is just like many accreditation schemes and are not worth the paper they are printed on - usually to obtain work on construction sites in the name of safety.

I mean, should I stop applying for admin work (VERY difficult to come by if you are not a blonde dolly bird with nice legs!)

^^ How true is that statement!!

I get so sick of these highly paid and very STUPID young women who get these jobs based purely on looks..... And it worries me that the jobs they have can be of far greater importance (and affect other peoples lives) than their intellectual capacity allows.

Slight rant there :rotfl:

It's not easy out there im afraid and even public sector work (the excess numbers of admin staff) will come under fire soon, with the new govt in power.

I've heard that the 'trade' industry is expected to get much better in the near future, particularily in plumbing. There are a number of good value plumbing courses out there if you fancy it.

Utter tosh

I find those middle aged middle and lower management types who think they are far more skilled and important than they are more infuriating.

I also find those who mock people who clearly are more able than them on irrelevent factors likewise.

Maybe Trugeho needs to consider why it is teenage girls are more employable than him, It isnt because the recruiting managers have a liking of teenage totty in all likiehood and more likely because he doesnt posess the relevant skills, experience or temprement.
