Imagine you're a company boss and you've a job to fill, what do you do?? -

Do you give the jobcentre a ring and hope the little scroat (who really wants to play his playstation all day) bothers to turn up for work or do you give that young lad or lass that came round the other week a call.

At least he/she could be bothered to get off their arse and come looking for work - showed initiative that !! - somebody that really, really wants to work !!

If it was you doing the hiring - which one would you take on - the jobcentre candidate or the one actively looking for work - doesn't take much thought - I know which one I'd rather have

Suggest that she makes a few copies of her cv and she begins systematically going round all the industrial sites that there are around now and call in at each of the factories/units etc - if they've got nothing now - ask if he/she could leave their cv with them for any future vacancies

Ok - it involves time and legwork but if he/she really wants a job then it will pay off

I'm giving the same advice I gave my son who at the age of 18, when Rists closed, was bemoaning the fact that "he'd have no chance of getting work with so many looking for work" - he took the advice, and within 2 weeks had got a job at a firm on the Altham Ind Est, and now 6 yrs later he is a supervisor there
But the "little scroat" has gone to the jobcentre so has he not got off hes arse to look for a job???

how do you know the "little scroat" isnt already employed just looking for a better job for 1 reason or another?

Confused!!!
