What do you mean by someone who has even worked on Tesco tills is more suitable, don't you think that is exactly WHY they are more suitable?

Because they deal with complex customer issues and I only putting books on shelves only if even deal with very basic customer issues.

If all these basic jobs you skills to process it wouldn't be so bad, but you seem to spend ages slogging away at them and you are still no more able to get a better job.

Well you have to speak for yourself there phil. All those I know who have worked hard and kept an eye on opportunities have moved on. But then they were too busy doing the work to spend time whinging. Oh, and count me in that number. I started from not even speaking the language, as a shelf filler, and now I manage an area giving work to 200-220 people. The jobs I did over the years were not always "nice" nor even interesting, but they were my springboard.

Again please someone tell me why I bother. :rolleyes:

so you've chosen a lifetime of moaning instead then.



well done. you'll go far :rolleyes:

Even to have the most basic job in anything like property management you have to have office and accounting experience, which I don't have.

Even to be a HR assistant you need HR experience.

So if working hard really got you promoted then I should be able to get those jobs now.

not really.

without positive mental attitude you won't get anywhere.

spending 6 months putting books on shelves for a few hours a week doesn't qualify you for those jobs.

couldn't you volunteer to work in an office for a few hours a week to get some office experience? no-one turns down free labour.

You live in hope that one day, maybe next week, next year, next decade:eek: , Phil may just take on board what you are saying and do something about his situation.

or

Winners never quit, quitters never win.

You're a winner Q, so you have to keep responding to SP's threads, because to give up on him would make you a quitter and you've never been a quitter:D

I have tried to volunteer for things and people just don't seem interested for whatever reason.
