    Firstly most jobs require you to send a C.V. via email or through a recruitment/agency site,so no need for stamps!! I have applied for over 100 different jobs in differing sectors over the last 6 weeks.

    Secondly I spent a full week ,going from my house upto a 25 mile radius, delivering my C.V to businesses that were in the same area that I had just come from.I personally handed over 40 C.V this way .

    So I think that my initial question isnt ridiculous especially WHEN I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR WORK. I've even paid £1600 myself to go last week onto a specific management course because I believe in investing in oneself to make myself a better prospect to other employers,that added with the fact I've been accepted onto a 4 year part time Business Management degree at Leeds University means I'm not someone who's just looking solely for the state to provide!!!!!!!!!!!
    There is some decent people out of work you know who sometimes just need a helping hand....lets hope you never have to find out mate....YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!

    chillax will you, wow you paid £1600 for a course so well done for you,
