those of you out there who are unemployed and NEED a job and are ACTIVELY seeking work, I know theres a few such as whooly and mattk (i think  ), does it get you down applying for what for me must be 50 plus jobs now and hearing fuck all back from most, or a letter saying unsucessfull or go through any interviews only to find the job is pish and not what advertised as?
on a plus note i have what seems like a decent interview on monday so fingers crossed for that, only been unemployed two weeks and already cba

Do you lot actually register with recruitment agencies? You get a better chance of getting a job than just applying for a job from the paper or or even through the Job Centre for that matter (not that they ever have any decent jobs there, mainly just minimum wage shit).

Being unemployed is awfull, it's not so much the lack of money I hate but the boredom, try BnQ, aldi, asda etc for nightshifts shelfstacking. They pay decent wages.
