Just been to JC , last week ikea wanted work experience people
Now get this B M Bargains and Sainburys are taking people on but its a 4 week course ( which they may give you a job at the end ) , you get bus fares though so thats great news
I would rather get a paper round on top of Jobseeker money than do that

Exaclty but best thing to do is go around the whole estate and get names who wnat the paper delivered weekly
then sell the list to the paper shop , the more you get the more valuable the list is |

And all these required work experience people, or people on a 4 week course, are immediately taken off the unemployed total, so these Tory tw@ts can claim unemployment is falling and what a great job I DS is doing. Fcking liars the whole shoddy shower of 'em.
|
|
By:
yeah if you dont show up for a course you get taken of so unemployment goes down
they said at ikea you start in the catering lol so your washing pots and pans for free |
|

but you can move around after a while

if anyone is on the dole
http://www.myworldofwork.co.uk/section/funding apply for this you get £200 for a course , if it goes in your bank just put it on a bet |

Facts, some work experience would do many people a lot of good.
It's not about providing firms with cheap labour. That's the last thing that the scheme has been set up for. |

How wonderfully naive Dr Crippen.

so stacking shelves is going to benefit who
|

By:
why not pay them minimun wage 2 week trial
|
|
By:
you could uses to walk into supermarkets at 15 and get the job on the spot for stacking sheleve
if they need shelve stackers fkcing pay them , miserable fkc wits |
|
By:
why not pay them minimun wage 2 week trial
They get far more than the minimum wage if you take their dole for a period against two weeks work. That's all they've ever done for their money. I'd like to receive a years dole money for two weeks work. |
|
By:
its cheap labout nothing else about it
most people in the job centre want work ffs and would happily take a 2 week payed trial and then take the job as its easy as fck i would imagine stacking sheleves , but they DONT TAKE PEOPLE ON.....THATS THE WHOLE POOINT THEY DRAFT SOMEONE ELSE IN AFTER 2 WEEKS its the people on the sick that dont want work |
|
By:
go in a jobcentre you wont see any guys with missing teeth who are looking like they need a good wash , as they are all on the sick and all the free drugs they can get , do they have to do FREE WORK ??? no they dont as they are all on tehir cant work im a druggie benefits
|

By:
cant work im a druggie benefits ?

By:
sick pay or whatever its called
best thing is ikea are doing interviews for work experience lol so they still want the best candidates for FREE |
|
By:
If these companies need staff, then give them a job instead of exploiting cheap labour.

Don`t know about Ikea, but my neighbour played for the MFI works football team. They were very good but never won a game because their defence kept falling apart at the back.

As Kevin Bridges says on his DVD.
They send you to Poundland for your J.S.A. so you gain some self-esteem. How much self-esteem will you get when everything in the shop is worth one pound......except you. Then he does a mime of using s phone: 'Hello, British Gas, I've got your bill, but unfortunately no cash. I do have lots of self-esteem though. How about I send you a photo of me smiling with my thumbs up?' |

By:
bridges is quality , its al stuff you can relate to |

How much does his DVD sell for - one pound?

Ikea and Sainsbury's are another two stores i won't be spending my hard earned benefits in.
Anyone looking for retail work experience could do worse than volunteer at an given charity shop in town as they're always looking for additional staff. Where i volunteer i get 25% off  With our youngsters leaving school each July it means one of two things to the unemployed: Huge rejoicing for the work shy, as thousand's of youngsters get taken on for a couple or three pound an hour, filling jobs, meaning they (the work shy) can continue their daily drinkathon @ Wetherspoons. which leaves those genuinely seeking work in total despair. What a bleak situation! |

Soul destroying with companies shafting the unemployed. ..and I'm no leftie believe me |
|
By:
work experience is done at school when your like 15 an absolute joke imo
if they have jobs give paid trials , and if they get offered a job and refuse it then maybe there is a reason to cut the benefits how many people would work 80 hours a fort night for £140, seriously , call them lazy if they turn it down but i guarantee the people that are for this wouldnt do it themselves |

A guy in the pub went to the broo and when asked what his occupation was he replied, "A Lion tamer".
The girl adviser was very sharp and he didn`t expect her quick retort, "More like a lying B******!!" |

By:
*should be Lion B*******

By:

|
By:
Yes, but he got hardship money until the Circus came back to town
