I am on social welfare because i have serious mental illness and have spent 6 months at a time on a psych ward whilst very ill. Doctors have forced me to be on dissability allowance...but im still out looking for work and volunteering.

Jaysus fair play to you. My girlfriend works in a dole office and comes home with some awful "quotes" from those in the queue, some are downright hilarious but some really make you wonder why on earth you bother to get up in the morning and pay tax. She also got her car keyed outside the office by a disgruntled "client" who reckoned he was getting a raw deal by having his child benefit slashed after it was discovered that his children aren'y even living in the country. That said, I could be in there myself next week - better charge the iPod!

Good for you I hope it lasts. It's not today or yesterday I become unemployed so I know what it takes to get noticed but so far the jobs I have applied for haven't materialised into anything yet.

It sounds like you're doing everything you can, best of luck with the job hunt.

I only come to AH for a laugh, didn't think i'd be taken so seriously.

Last time I was on the dole queue some guy went mental at the woman in the hatch (the welfare officer?) and picked up a chair and started slamming it against the reinforced glass.

It was pretty disturbing but the woman didnt even bat an eyelid- battle hardened I suppose

completely agree. I spend a lot of time volunteering, it's a lot of fun and a really great way to build up your CV. Shows that even though you are on social welfare you arent sitting on your ass....accounts for time in between jobs.

I have administration, sales, managerial & bar work experience but I'd work at anything now within reason, I wouldn't feel comfortable becoming, say, a hooker .

I've applied for office work, sales jobs, bar work, waitressing, cleaning, manufacturing etc.

I either don't hear back, I'm over qualified or the company decides that due to the current economic situation that they are not in a position to recruit.

What makes my blood boil is recruitment agencies that advertise a job at nine o' clock int the morning, at three minutes past nine my cv has been sent to them, at five past nine I ring them to say I have applied & would like an interview to be then told that the employer has received enough cv's & the job posting is closed for the moment until they decide to re open it. Next morning it's the same sh!te.

Currently doing a distance learning course & I have an elderly aunt who needs a lot of help also. Her family would normally share the responsibility but as I'm at a loose end I do what I can everyday to give them a break.

Recruitment companies are advertising jobs that don't exist or have been taken already to bulk up their websites etc.

Right this totally off the topic but would that not be considered false advertising? And if so is that not illegal?

That's why we need the quality educational system we have, so 14yr old kids can ask their mother for a fag with a bit of decorum.

PFiddy

There seems to be feck all jobs going except for IT jobs (my housemate landed a new job with some big software company, dunno what the role is but it sounds impressive).
From an engineering background myself and have absolutely NO IDEA what i would do / where I would go if I was laid off tomorrow. Watched (and tried to help) my other half apply for jobs from Jan through to March, after having been laid off at xmas. She applied for 97 jobs altogether, got 19 replies, 2 interviews and eventually landed a job (hallelujah!)
Its tough though (actually soul destroying) not to hear anything back, even an acknowledgement for you application would suffice.

Sorry... drifting off topic here

Yeah it's not a good situation but the entire wait was funny. You couldn't make up what they were saying & the phrases they were using.
It was funny but I had to wait until I got home to have a giggle.

Probably. But then again it's not exactly advertising, it's providing a list, they aren't actually advertising the company as such. Ooops! our list is wrong sorry about that, been too busy to sort it out...

....as there are plenty more qualified people with stronger experience and better "fit" to the organisation and all the other bull they can throw at you to act as an excuse.
Lets face it the country needs to generate thousands of jobs any way they can to fulfill the need for training and experience demanded by the private sector.
If you have an ordinary level degree it not enough without the necessary relevant experience. If you haven't got a trade they don't want you in other jobs until you get one but no one is taking on apprentices, or want young people so you are excluded because you're over 50, then you find out people have got to year 2 of their apprenticeship and been let go and have to start back at year 1 again in another company, if they can find one to take them on.......
By the time you get a course and do the necessary work to get the skill required you find it is out of date and there are hundreds of people ahead of you with more experience being let go ( SR technics, Dell and Xylinx) so what hope have you when those 3 layoffs alone will supply the necessary tech jobs for the next few years at least.
Then you look at the Dail and see it is heavily overrepresented with teachers, solocitors,businessmen,farmers etc and very few technical or scientific people to know and understand the very grave difficulties faced by the tech sector in securing long-lasting, well-paid, sustainable and fulfilling employment with a proper balance of power to ensure dignity, respect and lack of fear in the workplace to which we are all entitled.

Well to be fair you don't need to be tech/ scientifically minded to understand what's going on & find a solution to ease the pressure if not fix it.
A bit of common sense will go a long way. I know of one Minister who approached me around the time of the last election, the man could barely string a decent sentence together. I mean as a public representative his people skills are appalling.

Call it what you want but the reason I posted it was because I couldn't believe it happened & because it was funny to watch. I was standing in the queue for about 40 minutes before I got to the counter & there was a constant banter going between the two groups.
And I didn't post it to criticse them, I posted it to see if anyone else had a weird/ funny or strange story to add to it.
Also I didn't remember writing anything about how people from that background are all the same, you're the one stereotyping by bringing drunks & bookies into it.

OP. I totally believe you. My friends wife works in a dole office and some of the stories she tells me are unreal. I used to get the 38 bus into town when I worked in Dublin and there was some classy people sitting on the back of the bus each morning. Most of the time they were stoned out of the face on hash or 'yellows' (their words not mine) and the majority of them were on their way into court.

They didnt seem to give a fcuk that they were about to go up against a judge. Some mornings they would have bets as to what judge they would be seeing. Thankfully I had my MP3 player to drone out what they were saying.

Sometimes I would turn the MP3 player off to listen to their stories about how it was a deadly buzz robbing the car last night or how 'Anto' bet up his burd outside the pub cos she came in looking for him and wanted him to go home to look after the baby. Or how all those 'bleedin' foreingers were getting all the benefits and free buggies :rolleyes:

Yeah I heard a story a while ago about a young mother trying to get on a bus with a buggy & because the buggy was a bit bulky she decided to leave it on the pavement because ' social will get me another '.

I'd love to know if that actually happened but I know a few heads where I'm from that would probably chance it

hey - easyeason3 - do you have any I.T. qualification if so pm me

now on thread or prob of thread

anyways the new rule for receiving payment of social welfare is that you have to have a photographic id - so i works in a post office and asked the customer for her id and gets the most waffly ever answer...

"ah you dont understand love i suffer from really bad depression i do - had it really bad last week you see i had to stay in me place for 4 days - you know on me own thats the longest i was on my own for - i just couldnt take it any more so i got loadsa booze and just kept drinking and drinking till i totally blacked out then me neighbour called in and saw me collapsed and came in and got me to hospital as i had hit me arm of something - i have a hole in me arm ya know - so i had to get bandaged up and well here i am - god i didnt know i had to have id - jaysus ill know for next time"

a simple no would have surficed -

i know this girl coming in and know she doesnt suffer depression - she knew of rules as she was in previous day - getting other money - she also complained she doesnt get much yet get basic money + living alone allowance + mobile phone allowance +fuel allowance .... what your due is what your due i suppose - this is a girl who has never worked in her life and gives us nothing but abuse on a weekly basis + hates waiting in queues as she does be busy (only buying the booze ) as i usually see her stumbling around when i go for my bus..

so its nice to read a thread like easyeason who has great experience in various capacitys and is willing to work anywhere just to be in work its refreshing i serve too many people who are so lazy and have no intention of getting a job - as it was said to me before "why would i wanna work when i can get free money" sums it up really -

so fair dues easyeason and best of luck in your job search it is definately not easy now but persevere and eventually you will get your luck ...

as for anyone who wants to joke about having a job and upping the op cut it out - these are really struggling times for people - its so difficult to find anything as there is so much competition - i mean 50 mcdonalds jobs and 500 turn up that is severe never mind any other type of positions that are going - dont ye people see the dwindling job vacancy adds..

I don't have a specific IT qualification but I'm an extremely fast learner????

Thanks for the post. I have to say I got a bit teary eyed at it because you wrote ' fair dues '. I know myself I'm doing everything I can & I would actually work at any job.
But it's hard to listen to people running me into the ground & telling me to just go & get a job. I can understand where they are coming from but it doesn't make it any easier to read.
I wish it was that easy but anyway thank you.

to put it simply and to further point out other users comments there is loads of jobs IF YOU BOTHER TO LOOK. obviously you are too lazy to look for one but not lasy enough to not get free money of the government. if you hate it so much START LOOKING AND STOP COMPLAINING. seen as you also have internet access then www.loadzajobs.ie , www.monster.ie or just typing job vacancies into google and searching within ireland will come up with at least one result.

moral of the story: dont complain about what your not about to change.

I know of an entry level job advertised in January that was only filled last week. I know in the region of 40 people were interviewed (and pretty much all of them would have been absolutely fine at the job). Employers are looking for gold at plastic prices, they're looking for years of experience and great qualifications for jobs people are vastly overqualified for.

I don't blame anyone for taking some time to find a job in their area. As a friend of mine who works in recruitment keeps saying, you're only as good as your last job. If you don't make an effort to find something within your own stream, and just take the first job you can get, not only are you doing yourself no favours, but anyone who is less well educated or experienced than you has no chance of employment because the job they would be qualified for has been filled by someone who should be further up the employment chain. It's a vicious circle.

I wouldn't be surprised. If you're professionally on welfare, the CWO will pretty much supply anything you need.

I know a family who decided to redecorate their kitchen and who dumped hundreds/thousands worth of white goods (all in the region of 2 years old) because the CWO would buy them new ones that would look better in the kitchen. I know another family who smashed some furniture because they didn't like it anymore and had it replaced, another who decided a two year old carpet didn't suit them anymore and had it replaced. Some people can play the system because they've been in it so long they know every loophole.

That story is years old, I first it 6 years ago.
I'm not saying the CWO wouldn't get you a new buggy, they probably would.
It's just a story everyone seems to have heard off. But has it realy happened hundreds of times that people on buses are discussing it?

I would love to add a story but i have noticed a large portion of posters have become very hostile towards people on the dole lately. I am not contributing because of this.

I would say I agree this exists but not to the extent you say. What i have big problems with is the backround problems. Has anybody considered the amount of money social welfare fraud costs us every month, I am not talking about those women in the line but rather those people claiming that should not be

We seem more able to complain and moan about these women but sit by while large amounts of people rip off the welfare system.

I know most people on here might not believe me but I actually saw something very similar happen early last year. I was waiting for the 38 bus in the estate where I lived and the bus was about 100 meters away. In the distance 2 women came running towards the bus stop. One of them was pushing a child in a buggy. There must have been something wrong with it cos the woman took the child out of the buggy, left it in the middle of the footpath and just carried the child and ran to the bus stop and got to the bus. I asked her if she wanted to collect the buggy and she just looked at me blankly and got on the bus with the other woman.

When he goes to the SWO for his monthly signing he starts talking to people in the queue and asks them if they've been working at all lately.
Just does it for a laugh.
