I meant Tenerife, obviously, slip of the keyboard.:D

I get the impression that you have been spoilt earlier on in your life,

I'm a great believer of what has gone on before, right up until the second you read this, is what makes yu what you are today.

Spoilt, that would be laughed at by anyone that knows me.

Been working for the past 9 years full time, I'm 25.

Was working 2 part time jobs prior to that.

Don't come from a privileged back ground either.

He might have a decent chance of a job, I was there last january and the place was rammed with pensioners from all over europe.

Tenerife is all year round on season unlike most places. I'm confident I'll find a job, if not I'll come home after 3 weeks and save up and try somewhere new a few months later. I intend to spend 6 months of 2012 out of the country, preferably longer.

I take it you don't have a mortgage and are still living with parents. I think that's what McKneff is referencing rather than coming from a rich background.

Your parents may not be rich, but it sounds like they've supported you quite a bit when you've walked out on your numerous jobs.

There's a reason you've felt it was ok to quit jobs so often; and it's probably to do with having a supportive family in the background who have bailed you out.

Fantastic assumption!!

I moved out and have lived on my own since 18/19. I don't have a mortgage I live in rented accomodation normally.

I don't just walk out of jobs either, I mostly tend to find a job and then walk out of it.

You've had so many chances in employment and it doesn't look like you've taken advantage of one. You say you're looking for an employer who will provide you with opportunities, but it's rather strange not 1 out of the 30 has spotted your 'potential'.

Obviously you're good at promoting yourself, but not so good at executing. And you should be asking yourself why that is.

Ah I see. I thought you were calling me a liar with regards to my parents.

I was looking for that in an employer until this year, I've changed what I want, I don't wish to stick around in the town I live, I'm looking to get abroad, I've done the looking for a career and found nothing, I'm giving travelling on a budget a go and hopefully when I come back I'll be ready to settle down, might just be another failed venture.

My potential was recognised in the most recent job of any length, I was promoted and was doing extremely well, but then things got increasingly worse due to the financial crisis and the company being owned by a banking institute in America, this caused many difficulties and in the end up I chose to leave rather than go back on the phones within the same company. (They've since all been made redundant) I thought I'd found what I was looking for there but obviously circumstances decided against it.

What that did for me was provide me with the confidence to go for much higher paid jobs however I've realised that money isn't everything, I need to be challenged at work in order to stop me from becoming lazy and complacent.

I'm taking jobs that are phone work because I know I can walk into them with ease, but having experienced something different, challenging and more enjoyable, I'm finding it extremely difficult to settle into what I used to do.

Says it all really, irresponsible.

And looking at your signature, if you dont like England that much why dont you do the same to Tenerife.

And you dont have to be from a priveleged family to be spoilt.

I'm far from spoilt.

Don't take what I've said literally. I have a job, I then find another job, I then hand a notice in, I then start new job. Does everything have to be spelt out for you? Far from irresponsible that.

Do the same as what to Tenerife?
