    Just looking for some advice- my other half hates his job and every now and enter threatens to leave as they pile mores work on him and his colleagues. It's come around again and as I'm due to go back to work after maternity leave I suggested he stay at home and mind our baby. He's keen to do this but I'm terrified he won't get another job. He's working for a multinational in an admin role and we are based in Dublin. He's also not fussy about what type of work he does. Is it really awful out there and is he mad to give up a paying full time job? Financially it doesn't make any difference until the benefits run out after nine months. Any advice welcome :o

    This. What's he going to do instead? Be more fussy do something find interesting. May take courses. No point packing it in, landing a new role and being in the same state or worse off in 6 months. I've done that myself.

    Also, if the benefits you are referring to is job seekers benefit, he won't actually be eligible to claim this if he's staying at home to mind the baby. You have to actually seeking and available for work to claim JSB. Just saying.

    just find another job then leave its a lot easier to find a job when in one. There are jobs out there just need to get motivated to do it.
