Sick of being unemployed

    Like many others here I'm sick of applying for jobs. I have worked in retail for 5 years. I had two children so took some time out now both in school so I retrained as SNA which all jobs are being cut. I'm not getting any social welfare before anyone says stuff about that. I'd literally do any kinda work I need to earn a wage again and get out of the house. Rant over!

    Would you consider going back to education, maybe a FAS course or a one-year PLC type course to create more opportunities?

    I understand your frustration.

    What sort of work do you want to do? Would you consider care work? Lots of opportunities, and flexible working. Hard work and low enough pay though.

I have signed up to do plc nxt month so if I get nothing between now and then I'm heading back even tho il have to take out a bloody loan because I already have a level 5 cert I won't get a grant. I applied to healthcare jobs but the hours don't suit with my partner working early mornings late evenings I wudn b able to get childcare for the hours thanks tho! I just don't fancy going back to college but have no choice!!
