Can't get any job

[Desperatetime]

I'm so upset with everything please go easy on me.
My dp has been in the county 12 years with no work permission and has recently obtained his leave to remain so now as the right to work we have been together 6 years and I have been struggling along to support us both and I have also been using a inheritance to get by as well but now money has run out and we have nothing. I'm not in the best health either and we dont have enough money to cover house expenses currently we haven't a penny until the 30th of this month when I get paid low income by the way.
Since dp got his right to work he has applied for job after job only to suffer rejection after rejection this is most likely due to no work trail here in the uk so massive gap in cv which is impossible to produce. He didn't really have any skill back in his home country either. He can't get references nothing so we are stuck.
We are both in deep depression with no money I have left messages with training providers and nobody ever responds and we don't have money to pay for training he has signed on with agencies and they are not forthcoming with anything I'm not sure what to do but has anybody got any suggestions because we are heading into poverty.

INCO Academy runs courses for exactly like your DP. Get into Tech would be one example.

I hope he's not trying to find an excuse to quit.

but standing for long periods of time.

He's working in a welding factory. It's manual labour. He won't do much sitting in that kind of job.

As opposed to his bum being welded to a sofa.

Wouldn't be the surprise if the century if the OP posts the same thread again next week really would it.

Manual labour will involve standing for most of the day!
Welding is a precision task
I hope he sticks with it

Good luck to you both, as you're probably aware there's a lot of racism and discrimination out there, extra barriers her will have to face on top of those that EVERYONE faces, i.e rejection, not being given interviews, not hearing back from interviews. It's not unusual for anyone who has looked for jobs in the UK whether born here, done a degree, loads of experience to have filled out hundreds of applications in a career. The number one thing to remember is to just keep going, don't take rejections personally. Getting a job in the UK is largely a game and you have to know the rules and the tricks to get one, I'm not saying being dishonest, but being aware of how things work in this country which is very rarely being 'given a chance.' He doesn't have to change, just do the best application. Confident English helps, business English and his writing too. Good luck to you both x

Exactly, not like sitting at a sewing machine all day! I am a tad surprised that his sewing job was seen as sufficiently similar experience to be able to cope with a specialised skill like welding which I would have thought required training and a degree of competence and understanding of how volatile gases combine, but hey, glad to hear it’s going well.

AutumnCrow that made me 😅

It's straightforward a machine does the welding he just has to load it and then check the result.

Did he go to work today, OP?

I was wondering if he went today too!

Yes he went
