    Did you know that when Sainsburys take on management trainees they look for graduates, no specific degrees, just graduates.

    You NEED a job!
    Anyone out of work cannot afford to be too fussy, especially if their parents attitude prevents them from signing on and getting their NI credits paid!


    A career in retail is the last thing that I am interested in. I don't even like going shopping. It makes no difference if I get my NI paid or not as i have never paid any anyway.

    You ARE being choosy. You could get a job in one of the places that I suggested and then continue to look for a more suitable place to work. It will provide you with an income and the chance to learn new skills.

    I wouldn't even take you on as my office cleaner.

    so in order to do the ordering you will know how invoicing works, money handling.. dealing with the petty cash records?, know how to use the franking machine and keeping detailed records of the mail books? i'm guessing this post will go to someone who has already had office experience, maybe a school leaver who did their 2 weeks work experience in this area

    Why do you assume I would get a job there:confused: ? They do not just dole them out. I have no till experience to take a few p in another job so I am not going to get a job that requires till work taking cards, cheques and 100s of pounds am I?

    I have more chance keep going at jobs that require computer work as I can do that for sure.

    I might as well just jump on the M1 then and be done with it.
