Anyone know of any local jobs?

Looking for anything really. lots of warehouse experience and a small bit of shop work experience. anything considered really. tried jobcentre and never seems to be anything in. so if anyone knows anywhere that is taking people on please let me know. prefer oswaldtwistle accrington and blackburn areas would be ideal, must be accessible by public transport or idealy walking distance (doubt that will happen though lol) cheers for any help.

Forgot to mention that i wouldnt mind getting into bar work if anyone knows of any pubs clubs or bars that would be willing to take on someone and show me the ropes:-). but any job is better than no job so suggestions more than welcome. cheers again.

Think BoozeBusters on Burnley Rd might be taking on agin, part time
Game and the card shop in the arndale are taking on for xmas

Even temporary jobs are better than nowt

Any job is better than no job, temporary work is fine atleast it brings money in and gains me experience. Infact i think every job i have had except one has been temporary work. ill check those places out tomorrow. thanks:-).

There are no jobs for life anymore. Every job is a temporary job, only the length of it changes.

The jewelery shop near HMV in Blackburn had a Xmas vacancy advertised when I went past early in the week

For bar work try any Weatherspoons. They are not the best company to work for, in my opinion, but do train people up. Also working for them you dont need to worry about customer service!

Took a few application forms/CVs into places now just gotta wait and see what happens. any more suggestions more than welcome. cheers people.

None so far... will keep a look out tho

Good Luck

How about just trying by chance, Home and Bargain and B&M
They both have a number of staff come an go, but it your case makes no difference as any job is better than none
Get ya foot in the door so to speak then start looking again

Failing that, ya could go through the yellow pages, identifying prospective employers, places where ya wanna work and send in a CV and covering letter, this does work by the way

Depends very much on the applicant..go for a job that you consider to be below your station and work up from there.
Attitude has a lot to do with the workplace....If you are considered by the management to be a threat to your other workmates, you will not progress.
Your CV does not tell the true story...your performance does.
No stigma in being a bus driver or a dustman....That is a job that pays well......If we are lucky we do get jobs that will last until retirement.
Dont look for the glamour jobs...everyone wants them, to be a pen pusher sounds OK but is it really?
Good luck to Speedy..............He got off his arse and found a job.

I don't recall commenting about peoples choice of jobs, each to their own.

I don't recall asking you....This is a thread about jobs that may or may not be on offer in Accy, leading to a very happy young man who found himself a job. Commenting on a young lad who has found a job in double quick time in my view is well in order.....I don't bleat about 'Can't get a job'....neither did this lad......Each to his own I accept but if anyone gets more in benefits than by working...so be it.......not for me thanks.
