Re. voluntary work, just to let you know that I have just applied for a couple of admin and reception jobs in my area, and am waiting for word back. So to all those of you who doubt that I am doing enough to help myself and whether I am assimilating your advice - you SEE, I AM doing everything I can, and more, to find a job.

When did you apply for these positions? Why have you not done this months/ years ago?

Truegho

I HAVE thought about applying for voluntary work before. It is just that either somebody else has snapped the job up, or something else has cropped up just before I was due to start (e.g. a job etc.). So there you go - I have disabused you from that misconception now.

Thinking about it is not doing it, and I doubt very much that all the voluntary work has been snapped up in your brief moments of "thought", even in Liverpool!

You really are your own worst enemy.

No you haven't. You can get voluntary work within a day or two. If you have been unemployed for years and the majority of that is doing nothing, no work/voluntary work then you have been lazy.

Granted dwelling on the past is rather pointless. However unless you acknowledge that you haven't been putting 100% into it and carry on deluded that 95% of people are luckier than you then you are never going to get anywhere.

And you hold grave misconceptions about me.

Which are reinforced by everything you say. Can you appreciate that an employer could also develop these apparent misconceptions?

No, it's up to you to change the way people see you. With that attitude your cv will go straight in the bin.
