I am so confused angry upset and quite frankly pissed off. For months now I have been looking for a new job, stil nothing, after countless applications and interviews there is still the failiar words of you were unsucessful due to lack of experience, no qualifications or we just don't want you, or it's my area manager saying now you can't further your career cos i wont let you apply for that job she is such a bitch. To top it all off I went to the job centre today to speak to someone about what to do as I don't know where to turn next am so pissed off with work and need a new job as am going to go mad, so O went in never having set foot in a job centre to be met by some horrible women on what is I think their reception who tells me due to hig demands I am not able to speak to an advisor unless I am out of work and am signing on and I have to just search for jobs myself on a computer. Last tiem I checked these computer things dont talk back and they do not give useful advice.

Current Mood: annoyed

Give the job centre plus a call (0845 6060 234) as they might be a little more time-sympathetic and I think might be around for better hours. I try and keep my sign-on time down to the bare minimum (i.e in, sign, out) because I don't find the conversation particularly useful or relevant when I go.

Those terminals are about as much use as a cock-flavoured lollipop. You stick in 'local search' (in Stretford, mind) and you end up being told about jobs in Southampton. I make a point about bringing these things up to the poor person who signs me on- not in a ranty way, but as things they might consider for improving their service.

Jenna:
Your boss does indeed sound like an oik.
Job centres are hideously unhelpful.

Russ:
cock-flavoured lollipop, you say?

I blame Dodgeball for that quote.

Your boss sounds horrid. The Job Centre also sounds horrid. The localisation problem that [info]elektrobard mentions is not just the jobcentre, though; all job sites seem to be like that.

I do think you might want to friends-lock the post, though.
