To wonder why dp can't get a job this way

[Lacky301]

Dp can never get a job directly with a employer his applications are always rejected or he doesn't hear back.
We are trying to avoid agencies as his last workplace had a hire and fire system dp got settled there after been there almost 2 years but company didnt have enough work so he had to finish.

The thread has derailed tbh

It only derailed because you've had so many threads about it, people remember, and nothing changes.

So what's stopping him from signing up for agency work as a matter of urgency?

He has but they haven't come up with anything keep saying they are quiet

And, if you’re really honest with yourself, you’re frustrated that OP hasn’t jumped off her sofa and immediately embedded all your ideas.
That’s an unreasonable response from you. Of course she isn’t going to change her entire life because mumsnet told her to.

He needs to be pushing them every day then by visiting their offices every day if necessary.

I've paid for cheap courses on Reed I'm now attempting to change.
These things didn't happen before as he was earning so didn't feel the urgency. They kept telling him that despite they had taken loads of agency out that he was safe but the guys at the top had the final decision and my dp was last out despite his 2 supervisors doing everything they could to keep him.
We thought he would be secure.

Cheap courses on reed wont do anything. The educational / training need to part of a long term plan to improve his prospects. Nothing will help him instantly, he’s better off just calling the agencies every day as suggested.

Won't it show a willingness and interest

1 is customer service level 2
1 is about warehouse work moving and handling forklift trucks etc
And there is a food safety one

No not really OP. If a course is quick and cheap it doesn’t show anything more than banging a few keys on a keyboard.

A CSCS card would be useful.

They are accredited

I've been looking for a free one

I'm not sure there are free ones, but they're useful to have so worth investing in. Dp has always paid for his.

I would something that gives a qualification that the employers want rather than a underpinning course

Makes sense, but at this point he needs a job. With the CSCS he can get agency jobs on sites as a labourer. And when you've built up your reputation as reliable with an agency, you get to the top of their list for new jobs. He can think about the rest later.

Would he not go for security jobs as a helpful person suggested earlier?

Long term, GCSE maths and English would get you considered for a lot more jobs.

This is them

To get a forks ticket, you have to clock a set number of hours, and do a practical test, it's not just a theory test.d0es this course do that?

That's exactly what I'm bothered about as it's online only

It says you can go and work as a fork lift operater

Hmm, he'd have no practical experience, and it's a skill. DP does it for a living. I'll ask him later, but it doesn't sound like it's legit to me.

Saying that, retail warehouse and construction forks are very different.
