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.

I got my first job in my mid 40s via learn direct, they put me on some training courses, one had a guaranteed interview with Asda and I was hired straight away.......it's not mega money but 25 hours a week minimum which is better than a poke in the eye.

Great news, hope he does well.

????????????????

He's spent 12 YEARS in UK; six of them with you, and has still not learned to write

or read English? Or any other work skills? Has he still not learned to cook, wash up, clean houses, wash clothes or iron them, basic gardening skills?

There are countless free language and literacy courses for migrants. He's been living with you for 6 years, and you clearly can read and write English so you could have taught him. YOU certainly knew that in UK, basic literacy is an important employment asset. Damn sure he does too; yet he's avoided acquiring it. Why is that? Other than being determined to stay unemployed.

You've been sucked dry by a parasite. Now he's drained your inheritance and you can no longer support him , he'll soon be gone, looking for some other woman to earn his living.

<london-immigrationlawyer.co.uk/what-are-the-benefits-of-ilr-in-the-uk/>

"As well as allowing you to live and work in the UK without being subject to immigration control, Indefinite Leave to Remain also comes with many other benefits, such as allowing you to access public funds and free healthcare, acting as a route to British citizenship and giving you the opportunity to bring family members to the UK."

That's great news, OP.

Can I just say a lot of posters are posting what they think is helpful advice about where to find jobs or how easy it will be, but unless you actually know for definite, it really is not helpful. It might be well-intentioned, but it doesn't really help.

And for those saying care work, my friend (who is completely over-qualified for carework and has a super-high IQ), was kept waiting for a start date for starting work in a care home, from accepting a job at the beginning of November until last week and fobbed off with ridiculous excuses like their scanner was broken so they couldn't send documents needed for her DBS!🙄😡 Two whole months wasted due to employers and recruitment being crap, when she could have been earning and possibly some people could have been released from hospital beds!

Well that’s good news.

fingers crossed eh?

As others have said please stop suggesting care work!!

Care work is highly skilled and requires excellent verbal and written communication skills, a passion for helping others and kindness and compassion amongst many, many other skills. It is not something anyone can do and the care sector does not want or need people who see this as a last resort!!!

How do you know he is not getting any replies to the applications?

Lol. You're not that naive?

This really worries me. He's spent all your money and now even if the job works out he may not pay you back or pay his way and as a previous poster said he may use you for other members of his family to come over.

You need him to pay you back and he needs to be independent.

Delivery driving. A lot of takeaways around and a lot don't ask for references.

I'm a bit worried for you OP. He has been in this country for years yet is pretty much unemployable. No voluntary work. No learning. There is always work if you really need it. In my town there are local men queueing up at 6am hoping to pick up work as day labourers. If you want to work you can do it. He seems to depend on you for everything and when your money and health runs out, he will move on. He's just a walking, entitled excuse for a man. You must be utterly exhausted.

What does he say on his CV about the 12 year gap?

If it's just a big blank, and I was reading the CV, I would be concerned that he'd actually been in prison for something very serious! Best to state he's a refugee who has only recently gained the right to work in the UK.

Likewise if the last employment was abroad, always best to state that he has the right to work in the UK.

Mmmm I beg to differ! Trust me, speaking from experience!! A door knob could get hired for care work.

So he has been honest about the gap in employment. He is due to start a job tomorrow in a welding factory.

He is due to start a job tomorrow in a welding factory

That was quick ... how did it come about?

Good news on the face of it though; hopefully he'll now start paying back some of what you've spent on him

I also remember this same poster, she had an asylum seeker husband who ‘couldn’t find work’ used to make shoes in his home country and now even can’t get a warehouse job.

OP you’ve been posting the same shit for ages, get a life

How fucking Nasty!

It’s true, care work is factually classed as low skilled labour. for a reason

I suppose in this money and status obsessed Brave New World you have a point.

However, in my View, to have the empathy and the caring nature needed to be a Carer, is a rather nice Career to have.

Its not always about money and status to Everyone !

But you don’t, it would be great if all careers had to be empathetic and caring in nature, unfortunately due to how desperate the sector is they’ll take anyone who can breathe

Something doesn't add up - OP has posted the same story numerous times, posts again this morning and magically by the afternoon he has a job?

You are really rude, full stop.

Maybe you can Google the difference between opinions and facts.

Unfortunately you’re confusing your opinion with a fact.

FACT - care work is classified as low skilled labour

FACT - you don’t have to be caring to get a job in care, they are so desperate anyone will do

What about a local tailor or seamstress?
