Advice on job hunting?

[tomhick024]

I was 10 months out of work , back in empolyment just coming up on 2 years now and the only way I could even apply for something decent was by knocking on doors and eventually a good one turned up!!
Most jobs you see advertised have been there for a while, either shit wages, shitty conditions and anyone that starts just leaves!!

When I was bold enough to phone a guy about looking for a job, he finished up our conversation by saying 'good hunting' to me , he appreciated the effort i went to get his details and then phone him up!! Sounds bold but I have 3 kids and needed something badly and it paid off!!
Best of luck to ya and I hope you will find something that suits your needs!!

You one of the guys that sits at the jobcentre pointing a tradesman at a job wiping old peoples bums. If so then your wrong.

I have never found a job through a jobcentre advisor. I HAVE always found a job by phoning companies from the house or starting with an Agency and then going full time.

presumptuous ar'nt we, and wrong!
I work in a secure mental hospital as a re-hab co-ordinator, I help people who are recovering from long term mental illness to get there lives back to some sort of normality, which includes getting them back into work.

first know some background of the company you are applying for, write some related work experience of the job

I think your line of work differs from normal day to day applicants.

I was presumptuous yes but it was only a presumtion after all. Although comments made after mine have stated a valid point.
