    Update:

    I attended and looked around, I picked up application form for a warehouse position called (The Range) which is opening soon.

    I also signed up to 2 course which are the following:

    1. Food Safety - Level 1.
    2. Customer Service - Level 1.

    Start dates are unknown at the moment, I will get a letter in the post regarding start times.

    Also got a few compliments from men regarding my t-shirt, one man (he was sexy and young) said this: now we do mate, and then he said, is it true, your gay? I said yes, and he said mate you are seriously brave wearing that t-shirt in public.

    Other men smiled at me regarding my t-shirt, also they was no dress code because most of them were wearing trackies, jeans, trainers.

    They was this girl wearing a Batman t-shirt, do any of you think that's suitable going to a Job fair? no, its not so why you all having a go at me because of my gay t-shirt.

    Yes but those wearing the trackies were probably only there to get their beer/drug money

    For god's sake, is this still going on.

    I am gay as a goose, everybody at work knows - it isn't an issue.

    I share nothing, though, with OP's attitude.

    those t-shirts must be pretty ripe by now if that's all you wear. For what it's worth, Primarni does basic work shirts for £8 each. Rather than wasting money on daft box sets and Sky telly, maybe invest £20 in a shirt, some trousers and a cheap tie. It shows you have a good attitude and pride in your appearance and makes you far more employable. Then again, I was brought up to wear my best clothes to go to the GP so it was a given that I dressed nicely at the Job Centre. If nothing else, it made me feel slightly better about my situation as I looked professional and decent even if I was dying inside. Hence, got a job after seven months. Also, I'm a lady with an eye for the ladies and I've never felt the need to publicly advertise what I get up to under the covers in my own time.
  • God ... the OP is a troll. Nothing to see here folks ...

    The t-shirt are not ripe, my gay t-shirts are awesome because I am glad I found these t-shirts on Ebay because I want everyone to know I am gay.


    If I don't wear it then no one will know, they think I am straight because if I don't wear it, you can't tell I am gay because I am 100% straight acting.


    I get a few homophobic abuse in town centre but that doesn't bother me, its them with the problem not me.

    I assure you if she came onto this board and said she planned to go to a jobs fair wearing a Batman t-shirt that people would 'have a go' at her too. To get a job you need to be the best person overall, so aiming not to be the very scruffiest dressed is a very low aim - you want to be at least better than average.

    Lol - he doesnt want a job ! He just goes through the motions to avoid job centre sanctions. His posts make good bed time reading on how to avoid getting or keeping a job

    I dont pay much attention to what OP posts any more as he takes no notice of any advice given to him plus the PM's he sends making accusations of being homophobic.
