AckwelFoley

..worked for 10 years in a Builders providers in sales / marketing, then took voluntery redundantcy.. moved into sales of renewable energy.. that lasted a year .. hated the people i worked for .. then i was unemployed for most of 2009, so spent the time building a house for my little sister..

Now i work in a hire shop..pay is about 200 quid less per week than i was ever on, but its a job,and a job puts food on the table and porn on the screen I dont have any pride, so none needed to be swallowed when taking the job.

What do you lot do? You dont need to be specific, just interested as to what industry you are in..

Student, construction, banking, elected political representative (lol like you'd admit it) or like a lot of unfortunate people perhaps unemployed

i work in Architecture........an architectural technician to be exact....soon to be unemployed as I'm on a fixed term contract and it will run out in a while (i work for a semi-state body and the ban is in place on renewing contracts)
i will be looking for any job at all then.............tbh i'd like a complete change in career, as working for a semi-state body has completly numbed my brain and made me hate the profession i once loved.
once i get a job, ideally outdoors of some sort i think i'll be very happy indeed

They pay us for our knowledge as well as what we do. Its when things go wrong they see that we are worth our salt and how all those fancy qualifications come into play.

i've always admired your attitude in this respect snyper, fair play to you. if only everyone would just cop on... there're plenty of jobs out there for those who want them, there's just a large majority of people who would prefer to draw the dole than do a menial job. personally if i were let go tomorrow i'd go to mcdonalds rather than sit on my hole all day staring at the walls.

I work in the public service, brain numbing job also.

I'm not grateful to have a job. I was better off working a couple of days part time and getting dole for the days i wasn't working + rent allowance than i am now - working full time with mortgage, work travel costs etc

Jenroche

I was in accounts up till last friday. Now unemployed.

Looking hard for work. Somebody said there were plenty of jobs out there? Erm...no. Can't even get a shop job or working in a burger bar because they want somebody with retail or catering experience.

I'm qualified in massage/aromatherapy so I'm retraining and going out on my own in the new year. Only way to do it. If there's no jobs, then make one of your own.

This is such a self-righteous attitude that so many people (who have jobs) have at the moment. I must admit I did have the same attitude up until early this year when my bf lost his job and spent 6 months still getting up at the same time as if he was going to work, just so he could be on the job sites at 9 o'clock so he could be one of the first to send in a CV once a vacancy went live. He would spend hours driving around building sites looking for labour positions. He applied to McDonald's, UCI cinemas, Lidl, even cleaning positions advertised locally and nothing came of it. Luckily he got a good job after those months but he certainly didn't sit back thinking ANY job was below him and there are an awful lot of people in the same position as that right now.

Anyway sorry to go OT....I work in accounts...dull dull dull!
