How to get a job after being in prison? Divine intervention?

ampersand

This day-on-day news just gets better and better Scuffer.
-space now made for pm.[too late?] Apologies.

If you CAN read here over the next few weeks - don't forget Library for t'net if you have one of reasonable size within NEW bike distance:-)[that's a fantastic good spend - linky pic later when you can?], or maybe a village college serves as Library hub, as here? - you'll know you can still look in.

Hope I'm on far side of world when I read of your ascension into ranks of PERMANENT STAFF, a brilliant first piece of holiday reading for me that will be:-)

Although you've thanked many of us, I'll say that I thank you for the big step you took in coming here, making yourself vulnerable, knowing yourself, despite 'some of the earlier negative and downright idiotic prejudiced comments'as picked out in Joe Horner's excellent post. Core you, wiser now, shone through from the first.

-and for an off-the-wall one for Mum[still those little steps], I'd find a kiddie scuffed shoe in a CS or jumble, a written note with the memory and the flowers, or a favourite living plant something?, that would be a growing reminder of you growing. I've often found a person's name in a plant name - easy enough to google.

But that's just me and you are you - AND AREN'T WE GLAD TO READ THIS:T:)

Come back as soon as...no own goals and hang on tight to that sky-writing banner today. Great baptismal journey for new bike : Halfords to Old Trafford in record time. 12.45 kick-off - good luck:D

I'm very sorry to say this, but i will not be able to update for a few weeks my internet credit will be gone soon and i have no more money to get some. The money i received from the jobcentre is going on a new bike (£79.99 at halfords BARGAIN!) a helmet, waterproof jacket and something for my mum for mothers day. That is me spent until i get paid. I hope when i return i can tell you all they have taken me on full time, so fingers crossed!

I would just like to thank you all for everything, its nice having people to talk to who offer advice and encouragement without passing judgement on me, because boy did i need it.

just make sure you do come back...or goto the library in the free time...though if your credit has gone you won't see this till its probably to late lol

Just another phan, scuffer, popping in like Takeaway_Addict:D

So, midway plus 2 days - and I guess you're chatting en route to boss's bro-in-law's deli-bistro for lunch, as per daily usual.:T

...the conversation not being Bayern M and may Everton away not be a torment-in-waiting.
Happy to report Toulon played a blinder vs Leinster last Sun: 28-13, all engaging, outstanding match on both sides. Jonny W injured 20 mins in, BOD's last rep. match. Fantastic crowd response for both men, both teams. &'ll convert you to le ballon ovale yet:D

With all your supporters, I look forward to your next post, no later than the night of 24/4, la fête de St Fidèle. It fits your dedication and I'm off to NZ next day.

Can't leave without update please .

This should stay on i-player, mandatory watching:

too much of a thread to go through but be aware that the law is about to change on declaring convictions and time they are spent.

Is there any way you can extend the HNC to a degree?

Also get yourself over to http://www.unlock.org.uk/

OP's just started a 4-week trial which, if it goes well, will become a permanent offer

Cheers Yorkie, I posted whilst on the second page of the thread when the negative started so couldnt be arsed to wade through. Saw ampersands post after mine had been posted and was intrigued and went back a few pages, a pleasant surprise!

OP you say you are doing well in interviews until you mention your stretch. If this is putting them off try offering an unpaid trial to the interviewer for you to show them you are capable of the job.

Goodluck

Just saw this updated and really well done lad :T i suggested way back in this thread to offer an unpaid trial but you got lucky with a paid trial. Give it all you got now and i really hope you get taken on full time.

Just had to reply to this thread. I have been visiting the Mortgage section of MSE but noticed this thread.

At the age of 18 I was convicted in the High Court of causing death by dangerous driving. First car, age 17, dangerous overtake and the death of a motorist travelling in the opposite direction and life changing injuries to their partner. Moment of reckless madness I think of every minute of every day.

I pled guilty and received 54 months and a 10 year driving ban.

I was in my final year of high school at the time of the crash and had received an unconditional offer for uni.

I too had a long journey back to the workplace, at least to the sort of employment that I wanted to commit my working life too.

I am now in full time employment in a job I love and about to be a dad in July. I am happy to share any ideas, answer any questions and the like. Please just ask as I think I can help you.

Wonderful first post :money:

Thanks, I actually have another account but (quite shamefully) I set a new one up to reply as my gf also logs in on (our account I guess it is) and I dont like to bring this up especially as she is pregnant and it still can completely change my day to discuss it.
