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.

But why he's volunteering and doing training he doesn't have a wage this is the difficulty

I appreciate that money is tight with the cost of living and it being this close to Christmas OP, and I get that it’s hard, but people have given loads of good suggestions here and every one you gave a reason why it can’t happen. Something has to give. Why is he relying on you to sort his life out and take the stress? He’s a grown man and treating you like his mother or his PA.

This is his life and I know you’re a partnership and it matters to you too, but he has to help himself and you need to stop giving him money to send home. There’s loads of temporary jobs at the moment at the likes of Amazon, which are agency but they will do for now. In the longer term, you’ll have to accept that he might need to spend a bit of money to help his future prospects. I think my patience would be wearing thin by now to be honest and I’d be considering calling it a day.

Yes. But whilst he’s volunteering and training that can go on his cv and he can still apply for jobs. As soon as he gets one he can leave the volunteering. If nothing is coming up he will be gaining experience and a potential free qualification. It’s worth looking into.

Has he studied English classes? At what level? If he hasn’t then that’s something else to consider to improve his employability.

What about Amazon? And selecting the unpopular hours to again get a foot in the door.

Amazon so far to travel he doesn't drive I'm not making excuses just looking at the practiclarites

I'm most definitely taking all ideas on board

Try this too:

Check to see if there’s an Amazon employee bus.

id suggest a why not approach rather than reasons not to. See what’s available. Then go for the least worse option if there’s no perfect choice.

Timpsons? They seem to have a good ethic to offering opportunities. Plus your dp has previous related skills.

Feed all this information into chat GPT and ask it to create a cover letter and CV

He's going to have to get more skills and make himself employable
That means getting more experience and training. Work isn't just going to fall into his lap. If you need to invest in that, that's what you'll have to do. Christmas coming up is neither here nor there if there's no money coming in.

Tbh OP why do you live somewhere out of the way with seemingly few opportunities if you are in this situation. You say £400 for training would have been too much but for the past 2 years you were in a situation where between you, you earned too much for any benefits. Surely you could have stuck 400 on a credit card and paid it off over a year, 30-odd quid a month?
It just sounds like he's bleeding you dry you're having to dig in your pocket to chip in to his visa costs (which should be borne by him alone!) while sends money 'home' to people he cares more about than he cares about you.

I meant to add to my previous post
Stop giving money to send home.. You're paying for his family too.. and by taking money from you is so disrespectful.
He sounds lazy with no initiative

Sorry to be blunt OP but why on earth are you with such a looser? Do you have low self esteem?

Don't look at it as shelling out. Look at it as an investment.

Yes probably. Unless he can access it througha charity training will cost money. He could stop sending money to whoever it is he's sending it to for a bit?

He could sign uk with a recruitment agency and state he’s only looking for permanent work - that way he might find more opportunities

It should be free if he doesn’t have it. Check with local colleges to see what they offer. Could also consider functional skills in maths and English. Although as you’ve stated his writing is slow it would make sense to look at Wnglysh as a second language quals.

English !

There are many companies whose role is to help with CVs and general job hunting advise. A lot of them operate under the National Careers Service umbrella, and are free. Most Job Centres have contracts with on or another of them. So if your husband is registered with a Job Centre that may be a way of accessing their services.

please don't go down the road of paying for this advise, when you can get better help for free.

I'm upset to hear him been called that he wants to work and he is a hard worker he's just unfortunate in his background I wouldn't say loser.

The National Careers Service and its subcontractors only offer a limited number of appointments within a specific time frame, unless that's changed recently. Obviously you can continue to use the website after you've accessed the support offered.

Why is he sending your money to his family? Realistically he is a drain on you and should go home.

Why is he still sending money home that he doesn't have?

You might be upset by what you're hearing but he's going to have to be more proactive if he wants to work.

Could you relocate to his home country?

Definately not I can't speak the language or deal with hot weather and quality of life there not too good.
