I want everyone who has ever implied that people on JSA just dont try hard enough to see the utter joy on my sons face tonight.
Not counting 2 years at college (when he was looking for a part time job), he has been job hunting for 5 years. He has been working all of those years in charity shops in order to have something on his CV. He has tried and tried and tried.
Today he got offered a job, ok so it is telesales at minimum wage, annoying you all as you are getting dinner ready, but dammit, its a job.
I cant tell you how happy he is, he hasnt stopped talking since he got in, hasnt stopped smiling and is already planning how he and his GF can finally plan to move in together after 3 years of wanting to. She works FT but he refused to consider living with her without a job.
"Just get a job" "Just try harder" "There are plenty of jobs out there" "If people really wanted a job then they would get one"
If you have ever said that then I hope you realise how wrong you have been.
