Forgot to say when I was leaving work today my supervisor put an envelope in my hand and said this might help on Sunday. She has written me a lovely reference for the cleaning job I am going for and I was quite touched! Its nice to work for someone who looks after her staff...just wish she had a full time job for me !

That's really good of her! Hope it all goes well for you.

I've had an application form come through today for a Nursery nurse job. I found another one online yesterday on a Nursery website. The post said they want someone with a level 3. I only have a level 2 but I do have an awful lot of experience so I emailed them and outlined the experience I do have, it worked! They are sending me an application form. Hopefully something will come from those and I can at least be in work then look for Teaching Assistant posts again to start September.

Ive been thinking more about yesterdays interview and I just have this nagging feeling that I blew it, hubby says not to worry as I have a habbit of being really hard on myself when I think I could have done better at something (he is right about that ) and that it may be that I performed better than I thought..... I cant shake the nagging negative feelings though.

Hi, I'm the same, always think I could have done better, and I know its just me, I'm sure. Best of Luck

I've had some good news this morning, I have a interview on Monday :j

I know I can say this on here, as you all know what its like, well I don't want to count my chickens, and I'm not, [STRIKE]not much[/STRIKE] but looking at the orginal advert, the closing date was today and they rang at 9.05am Is that good???

The sort of company that it is and what they do would be great for me :j

Hello all,
Having been made redundant last October I have been going slowly mad. It's desperate being out of work & I hate every living second of it. I have finally reached the month where the money can stretch no further & I have the task of working out how we're going to pay the bills. (and who we're going to pay!)
Since Oct I have had three interviews but no luck so far. How do you keep your head up? The last 'thanks but no thanks' was yesterday when apparently 'I was really good & if they had more funding....':(
Anyway, I am trying to start looking again but feel really rubbish, like it's never going to happen.
I guess I ought to read all of the pages on this thread - depressing posts are probably banned! If so, sorry everbody, and I wish you all heartfelt good luck in your searches for work.
Keep posting all the excellent tips & good news, its nice to read about it working out sometimes! x

Angel - if I could thank you twice for that I would. Instead, I'm off to a 'do not speed anymore' course. Just what i needed when i am already broke. However, better than points for three years. Hey ho. The luck just keeps on coming...!
(nb- my fault. I shouldn't have been driving at 35mph. But I was distracted, having been told that the access course I had been told by a university adviser would be free for me as I was out of work, would actually be £800. La-di-da..:mad: )

well just when I thought I couldn't get more fed up about the whole work situation the local paper arrived this morning and the vacancies section looked like this :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

not really worth printing!

Good luck to everyone who has interviews btw

RaspberryRed,

I second Angels comment, if you do get a chance to read the whole thread (540 posts, wow!) you'll see a lot of us have made comments just like your own, more importantly you'll also find a lot of useful posts giving very good advice and support. There are also a few posts listing a load of different job websites which may help you in your search. More importantly when you come accross the success stories (and there are some, honest) it does give you a boost.

Hello Jobseekers ;-) I've been rubbish at updating the thread with my situation BUT......I've only gone and got me a job! I have three gruelling interviews and they've formally offered me the job this morning :beer:

Just wanted to say to everyone that are still looking that it's taken me 5 weeks, about 40 applications and 7 interviews to get a job offer....and I thought it was gonna be easy!

Not sure when I'm starting yet as got to sort a car out but hopefully middle of next week.

I can't describe how happy I am
