"If she has been out of work for a while might be good to do some refresher courses and get her cv up to date. Offer to volenteer in the school dinner duty or playgroup/surestart centre or charity shops to get the experience and to help build her confidence." but does volunteering get you paid work when there is none around? She would need money to retrain, money that she does not have. | |||

"temping agencies are good for stuff like this... agencies like adecco always have stuff, it may not be the most glorious work... but its better than 64.30 as estee said...." And once you've done one contract with them and shown you're reliable it often leads to other things. And if they haven't got work for you that week, ring them and pester them and you do jump to the top of their list - 'cos they want you to stop hassling them! | |||

"Kate has been told that due to prospective cuts in spending by the local councils, her job is being reviewed and she to be aware that she might be made redundant. They've only been in 2 fooking weeks and government cuts are already hitting us" labout would have had to have made the same cuts though..... but cuts means less jobs not more ... so where are all these jobs coming from I wonder | |||

"ok so tax credits are fine if you have a family but for those without? Like me for instance I have small savings and would get no help whatsoever" i would get that double checked... when i was starting out and temping... even though it was minimum wage we still get some kind of single tax credit to bump that up..... | |||

"I'm in a similar position in that my job is due to finish in 2 weeks. There are jobs out there, it's just a case of looking harder. I don't mean that to sound like you're not looking, just that they're not as obvious anymore and it's very much a case of who you know rather than just your experience / qualifications. I've been knocked back for jobs recently because i'm over qualified and they think i'll always be looking for something else. I have no children, no savings but thankfully no mortgage or rent to pay so at least i'll have a roof over my head but it's worrying times for everyone at the moment. Good luck to all those looking for work xx" thanks love It is tough for everyone I think not everyone can retrain and people with health issues find it all so tough like me I would like a part time job also like my friend, but NO ONE is taking anyone on near me... And I do have rent to pay.. I need a lottery win haha sighs The thing is tax credits for a family bump your income up but my friends children are not babies but they still need her she has to be there once they get home from school as no one else wil be but no shops near here need staff, so what else does she do? She doesn't drive so even a trip to the job centre takes a lot of time and money that she doesn't have to spare | |||
