The Eternal Jobhunt … 

You know, I’ve got to admit, the job-hunt … ?

Is really not going well.

I’ve been into my local jobcentre, today: the usual fortnightly signing on for the benefit payment the government chooses to hand out.

And of course, I made sure I got there a earlier than I was due in.

Purely so I could browse through the job adverts the Jobcentre has there.

Hmmm … 

I would LOVE to be able to tell you I’ve spotted something there I felt I had a chance of getting an interview — please notice the word — for.

There was nothing.

Nowt.

Nothing.

Diddly*.

It’s … 

Well, it’s definitely turning into something of a grind.

Which to be frank … ?

Is something I think — hope, maybe — I can handle.

That doesn’t make it any easier, I know that much.

But DOES mean finding things to do — affordable ones, at that — is … helpful, let’s put it that way.

When I find something … ?

I’ll let you know … !

  1. You've got the spelling right. :)

    I'm sorry to hear you haven't found a job or any leads yet. :-/

    Here's hoping you find something soon. Hang in there. It'll probably happen when you least expect. :)

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
