Anyone else annoyed when someone saying 'get a job'

[RUNFAST11]

Before COVID it was still hard to find a job but now it has become more difficult.

Recently, Dispatches showed a programme where there were 947 applications for a waiter role at a Manchester role and the pay was around minimum wage. And the person who got that job was later told they could not be hired due to the new lockdown restrictions.

Unemployment is likely to rise and could reach double figures in 2021. Getting a job is not as easy it was in the past where you could walk in and get hired. Now you have things such as: online applications, Skype interviews, Face to Face interviews, Online tests etc...

@mrsbyers

There are loads of seasonal opportunities locally along with longer term factory / unskilled work yet still high rates of unemployment in pockets - it must be that a lot of people want to live on benefits maybe ?

Bullshit! Seasonal opportunities, how exactly do people on the other side of the country get to them. Tons of apps for factory jobs.

There's no such thing as cushy benefits anymore, stop falling for Tory spin. It's all UC.

@NameChange84 is there a company for the online TEFL jobs? My unemployed friend has a TEFL certificate. I would like to pass on info to her. TIA:)

YNBU. My DP has applied for countless number of jobs and has signed on to agencies as well. The trouble is when he fills out the forms and put "epileptic" in the box for "any health issues", he knows damn well that his application won't be considered when there are 100's of "healthy" people going for the same job. It took him 2 years to get the job he was in for over a decade before redundancy hit.
