Trials of Finding New Job
Discussion

You have to go to 3 sites for one of the jobs. And?
Earlier in the thread you complained about spilt shifts on what was probably a reasonably well paid job. It does appear you put obstacles in the way. Do you actually really want or need to work?
What are your qualifications and background? This is tough love from all of us but certainly where we are you could get a job in the same day either via an agency at one of the jungle of distribution centres or numerous local businesses actually have boards outside advertising vacancies.
Any English none mouth breather would fall straight into employment.
Nobody owes you a job so it's it an attitude in interview or something like that? Its just hard to understand how something hasn't come up in 12 months. Are you going for jobs over or under your experience and skill set?
We are all rooting for you here I'm sure but there must be something wrong in the approach or execution. The suggestion above of finding a brutally honest friend could do some good. Surely you must know someone that does some hiring and firing you could ask?
the threads not just about me so I wont get into every why and wherefore about personal choices. I didnt start the thread for the fun of it and if I didnt want or need to work then I cant see any sane reason for starting it. There does seem to be an element here creeping and implying certain things about me. Please dont or take this request as being hostile or a possible blocker to my success. It really isnt.Earlier in the thread you complained about spilt shifts on what was probably a reasonably well paid job. It does appear you put obstacles in the way.

i have been mulling over starting my own venture. No idea about costs in terms of renting a small industrial unit or whether it could be started from the garage at home. I am looking into equipment.
where can you buy good secondhand garage type equipment apart from the obvious ebay?
Looking at getting into Media Blasting however I have had some advice already suggesting I still try to get a job then build the business up until it can pay its way so keeping all options open......

If a plasterer is self employed he can easily earn £80k a year. One of my best friends is a plasterer in SW London, runs a team of two other lads and casual labourers when required for bigger jobs. His missus doesn't work, he supports the whole family and drives an E63 Merc and a family X3/X5 (not sure which as they all look the same nowadays!) - he will be pulling in well over £100k to fund that.
It's not easy to earn at that level, and your mate's not a plasterer - he's a business owner.Nobody's disputing that trades can earn really good money, but to pretend that it's easily done and possible without a lot of hard graft and serious effort to build up the business is both fanciful and disrespecting those who have poured their life into their work.
i dare say those same people will now say I should have "worked smarter, not harder"........poppycock. you aint gotta clue how hard it is to earn even a national average level of income as far as the UK is concerned today. no idea at all.
