No more dole

I'm glad to say that after job seeking for a year or so, I have finally got a full time, permanent job, which I start in just under two weeks. I'm thrilled, just as I was beginning to give up hope of ever being employed I got the magic call.

Don't **** it up

Fair do's - congrats.

Berty

Congratulations.

My OH said I was like a different person when I finally was offered a job. Hopefully things will start changing for you like not feeling guilty about getting a takeaway and silly things like that.

I know I do. :rolleyes:

Congrats buddy.

Fingers crossed I'll follow suit soon!

I did keep a count and it was 175 applications that I recorded, this didn't include all the networking, asking friends or people I knew if they knew of any work going, heck I even asked the letting agency I rent from if they knew anyone who needed someone.

Hopefully things will start changing for you like not feeling guilty about getting a takeaway and silly things like that.

Thanks Bertie, I did feel guilty about stuff like that but the biggest worry was that all my clothes were falling apart and soon 'making do' was not an option. I feel a huge weight of my shoulders.

I only have one working week left of unemployment before I start my Job on Tuesday the 1st June(after Bank Holiday).

Im currently using my mothers car which Im sure after 2.5 months she will be glad to get back. :eek:

Down again today to the post office to join the queue of the other downbeaten JSB people and the jovial long termers.

Is it? The can't start me on the Monday anyway because that's this month(May) and they are certainly not going to pay me a months salary for one days work.

Unfortunately.

Congrats to you too Berty!
