About to get kicked out

LegacyUser

Hello, I'm a 20yr old male who is most likely going to be asked to leave by my parents in a couple of months. I understand that I'm of age and they can legally evict me but the problem is, I don't have any savings, no job whatsoever, and no qualifications. Despite this though, It's very clear that I will have to as the guards came to talk about me leaving and they said I'd have to whether I would have a place to go to or not.


Do you know any people in similar situations and how did they get out of it? Thanks for any help

Why have they got the gaurds involved? Are you aggressive at home or towards your parents?

There is obviously a lot more going on than your saying here, maybe talk to your folks about sorting out whatever the reason is. If it’s drink or drugs get yourself sorted if it’s robbing or anything like that then you’ll just have yourself to blame if your threatening or physically beating them again deal with your own issues. If it’s the job thing get a job any job.

It sounds like the relationship has broken down to the point of no (immediate) return if the Gardai are involved.

You should probably start with the social welfare office first thing on Monday. They are the ones that can give you specific advice with regard to benefits, and maybe point you in the right direction for housing.

Have you any friends you could stay with temporarily, or any other relatives that would be willing to help you? - Though, you do need to take steps to ensure that it is temporary help as you are an adult and need to be self sufficient at some point.

What about an apprenticeship? Or walk around your locality looking for Staff Wanted signs in the window, go in (be tidily dressed, clean and well presented) and talk to the manager about the position. If you got a job while you were couch surfing you could probably then progress onto a flat share and so on.

Best of luck.

Hello,

I'm not native to Ireland so I don't have any relatives and no friends but know very few people I could contact but not sure if they'll agree.

I did go to the local Intreo office but they said I have to give my parents payslips to claim jobseekers allowance and right now my parents don't want to talk to me/aren't in the mood for that. They are against social welfare. I have applied for any job at places like McDonalds, Tesco, Dominoes but so far I have heard 0 replies. Not being in college or having ever worked before must really put them off.

If you’re not working are you signing on? What’s your money going on if so? You’re hardly paying parents rent if they’re asking you to leave? Stop spending, start saving, you’re and adult they don’t have to provide for you. Plenty places looking for summer staff. Must be more to the story

Go down to intreo and explain your situation, tell them youre about to be made homeless. Id go to the guard who ordered you to leave and get a letter off him as proof that youre asked to leave your parents house.

I’m not signed up member posted message hours before his but they must be moderated and approved first. Can read perfectly thanks!

OP if you’re about to be kicked out you need to sign on to tide you over until you get paid, you may even be back dated. Even if you land yourself a job immediately you’re not going to get paid straight away or be able to afford rent. Is this a tough love situation and your parents have been paying for you since finished your schooling, which I’d imagine is some time ago? Whether your parents agree or not with welfare if you’re about to be left homeless and potentially penniless it will soften the financial blow until on feet

Hi Op

you will need to make sorting out your social welfare payments a priority now, as once you are out you wont have an address. If your parents refuse to co-operate you should tell your case officer that.

However if you point out to your parents that once social welfare is sorted it will be easier for you to move out, they may change their mind, as it will help the process of moving out.

you should also talk to focus ireland.

they have programmes aimed at preventing homelessness, which if you can prevent it would be a good idea.

Some good advice there.

OP you should also start looking for a job.

I have applied to 35+ places (minimum wage) but have had no responses back, only two interviews which I failed because of a lack of experience.


I was wondering if it's a good idea to go abroad and work, even without a visa? The tickets are obviously a barrier but I might have a better chance in the US or Australia?? I don't know

Do you know any people who are in the same situation as this? How did they get out of it?

Pelvis

35+ places since when? That's not a lot . You could apply for that many jobs in a couple of days.

You need to up your game. You got two interviews from 35 applications, you'll get 6 from 100 applications. 12 from 200. Send more applications. Print off your CV and spend a day walking around town handing it in to as many places as possible, bars, shops, coffee places, fast food, try and speak to the manger if you can. You might not have the experience but if you get to speak in person with the person who makes the decision and they see how determined you are then it will work in your favour.

Be sure to have someone who knows what they're at to look over your cv.

You're not native to Ireland but living here with your parents? You have no money, or qualifications despite having left school at least 1-2 years ago. Your parents have given you a few months notice on their ultimatum to get a job and start paying your way and you are unsure what to do?? Where are you living? Plenty of minimum wage jobs in pubs, shops and the city centre for young fit men who can speak and read English -and plenty of people who are neither working. Get the finger out and get going door to door with CV's.

Bandana boy

There are loads of recruitment companies for warehouse picking , factory cleaning etc crying out for candidates , will take you on with no experience .

google them and you will be in a job by Monday

Where do you live OP? Maybe someone in your locality could recommend some places to apply for work that you haven't thought of yet. Also, what do you wear to interviews and have you had anyone proofread your CV? Some employers are sticklers for grammar and spelling even if it has nothing to do with the job! I am sure you're more than capable, you just need the right encouragement from the right people.

The last interview I went to with McDonalds in may was relatively "business casual". I wore a white shirt that I used to wear to school buttoned. Things were going well in the interview until I could tell from the interviewers voice she wasn't too pleased at having no work experience.

I don't have any friends to help me but I have heard that the Intreo office could help. I live in Blackrock.

I don't know South County Dublin well, but do you know any recruitment agencies nearby? Service businesses are less likely to hire you without experience, but warehouses take on staff with no experience more readily.

Maybe someone else could recommend an agency for you?

Loads of Shops in Dún Laoghaire with signs up looking for staff, walk around the town handing out CV's

I've done that and unfortunately, nothing has helped.

What I have learned though is how cowardly you people are. I went to AIB and guess what, they denied me a loan so **** you bitches...

You deny me a minimum wage job

You deny me a loan for €50 goddamn euro

You deny me the right to even kill myself


You Irish are useless......
