Do you badger business owners in the pub? Do you put ads in papers? Do you ask the dole office to get jobs for you? Do you even think to yourself "I'll just take this job to tide me over until something more suitable comes along"?
I do appreciate you lads maybe fed up with sitting in the house, but there are jobs out there, you might just have to come out your comfort zones in order to get work, but work is work, right?

Declared earnings on said jobs?
I understand you spent all the time and effort training, but your not working for a plumbing firm right now are you, this is what I mean, just do anything for aslong as you have to, even if it's just for a week.
You don't have the capital to start a business because you haven't got a job, so how are you ever going to start one? Please don't think I'm being funny here, and as a business owner myself I meet plenty of people asking for jobs and I see it all basically.
I've just taken on someone who used to lay bricks for 15 years, he can't get a job laying bricks as other people are driving the prices down by undercutting him all the time, so he's gone down a new avenue so to speak, it took him all of 20 minutes to get a new job, and 15 of them was me yapping on about CSCS cards and invoicing policies.

Most jobsi apply for have already been filled, they dont take the adverts down 
Ive always been employed and never seaked a single penny in benifits, thats why im finding it so hard. Just takes time.

Big respect to people who do this! Its nothing what you have trained for, and its probably the last thing you wanted to do, but you have done it to stay of the benifits systems
