    Mhoc, the Job Centre Plus site is a great tool, you can search for temporary jobs within a specified distance from your location. Monster.com may also be worth using, your daughter can upload her CV and say she needs Christmas work and have employers reply to her CV if they are interested.


    Good places to start looking.

    She tried to register with the local job centre in town the first time she got sacked. The job centre was not interested though. They said they did not have part time vaccancies any more, only full time (minimum wage) jobs

    Why don't you try not helping her and not giving her any money this time? She'll learn the hard way - sometimes the best way to learn! Explain that you're not going to help her out and that she has got to learn to take responsibility for it herself. After all she's at uni, she's an adult and she should start to learn what the real world is like while she still has the "safe" University bubble to live in, otherwise when she leaves Uni the thud to Earth is going to be much, much harder. (Can you tell I was never given an easy life by my parents :rotfl: .... and you know what, in hindsight I love them for it!).

    hear hear.... how times do we hear of parents pandering continously to their kiddies when they go to university.......

    let her get of her butt and go and find work
    smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to.... ;) :cool:
