Has anyone ever had an employer ring them up and ask them to put in a job application for their company?
Its just happened to a friend of mine.

yeah, BNQ rang me and asked me if id be interested in applying for work there. I think its part of a new thing that the job center plus are giving out information to help potential re-visitors to the JSA, has your friend been on JSA recently?

Yeah, the DIY company. I am (to be honest) questioning them and its legality, i mean surely they cannot give out personal information without my consent? Its as if they think im an illiterate kid that cant read or write, ive been on the JSA for near a month now in my town of low employment, there is one consultant in there who i can relate to and talk to who chats to me like Im a human being and not some fucking wino who cotches in doors all day jacking off.
If they are gonna help me out fine, but the embarrassment of them harassing or burdening companies with the pressure of recruiting me is really shitty, I feel like a charity case.

I wouldn't worry about it. I mean it gets you a job and it gets their figures in order. Everyone is happy.
I really hope my mate gets this job. He's really depressed that he may not be working over Christmas.
The money isn't bad either, £17k a year to start.

I'm sure it will work out for you. I mean the people in the majority that use these forums have a much better skill level base in IT than the average Joe on the street. My friend doesn't have any PC qualifications at all. I posted a while back that he'd passed his HGV test. But as the haulage industry is all experienced based he's been unabled to find work. He's had (I think) in excess of 30 interviews since May and its always the same thing, "come back when you have experience". Well guess what, how the hell does anyone get experience when no one will give him a job? 
So he's taken my advice and went for IT, he changed his three options with the Job Centre and took off security and put on call centre work. I mean this guy has taught me all I know with pc's. When it comes to hardware, he's the man to ask. I can now build a PC with total confidence because of him. Yet that experience and knowledge is going to waste. So I said go for IT I know you can do it.
And hopefully it will pay off for him. Rather than the hard, hard and dirty work it is driving a truck.

Hull isn't that bad. At least you have that bridge. Mind you its not as famous as the Tyne bridge.

No. Like I said Gem, with your skills companies will be crying out for the skills of this forum INCLUDING YOU. You're a gamer, thats normally the pinnacle of the computer industry. Even Moore himself said that gamers are the pushing point of technology.

You should always work, even if it's not what you went to school for, it shows future employers you are willing to work, you also get in contact with more people than by staying at home, so you have a better chance of finding someone who knows of a job you like. And any kind of job will allow you to buy some transportation so you can see your girl more often.

Its always easier to get a job when you have a job. Even with the notification period.
Ive been lucky I've always made the right choice. I'm quite high in the Education Board. But thats with exteremly hard work.
I had to do it. My head mistress was a bitch to me, and now she's in her 80's I'm her boss and well thats a great feeling.
Yes I've made the right decisions in life.

Ive often thought about moving, but I simply can't afford it and will need to work several years to earn the money to even start thinking about it.
