peope think getting a job is so easy, well its not i live up north myself, unless u no someone or are giving somebody a seeing too u have no chance cos the jobcentre are the biggest waste of space in the world, i havnt had a job for 2 years, my circumstances are different, i have no trade or anything or good qualifications apart from a couple of level 1 NVQs which are of no use, i also have criminal convictions for violence and drug offences which im not very proud of but employers dont give 2 s***s about giving people a second chance in life they just pass judgement straight away and throw ur c.v in the bin once they have crb checked you .ive lived off poker for a year now cos claiming benefits while making money gambling is plain wrong in my opinion, fortuantly i still live with the old fella and dont have bills to pay other than a bit of lodge so im under no pressure like k8lou is, i feel very sorry for his predicament and i think people need to wise up if they think he can just pop down the jobcentre on monday and they will have him a job to jump straight into.
If you are not too proud to work for minimum wage then I'm pretty sure you could find a job within a month, certainly could where I live. This "there are no jobs" attitude does frustrate me because there are plenty of jobs.
A lot of ppl's attitudes are more like "there are no jobs.......that I wanna do". I worked in a fish factory for 2yrs, did I want to??? Of course not, but it's what I had to do until something better came along.
BTW.......not a dig at k8lou or anyone, it's just my opinion on the job front. Bit of a pet hate of mine!
Now that is off my chest lol...........sorry to hear about your situation k8lou, been there myself. You are a very good player and will def bounce back from this. All the best mate

Rock - I have a lot of respect for you mate but to use a poker analogy if you have no qualifications and a criminal record then your odds of finding a job will be lower.
Try and get some job focussed qualifications in something you do want to do/are interested in and your odds will improve.

sorry but this is just not accurate. you must live in a big city is all i can say
Got a friend who is a builder, he cant get a labourer. He has took lads on who apparently cant get a job. Hes even had ones quit after two hours, because they would rather sit at home watching tv than do a days work.
My grandparents live on old biddy bungalow estate. Probably 100 houses desperate for window cleaners, gardeners etc. Cant get them even offering £12 a hour. Because it involves a bit of effort.
How do foreigner who can hardly speak language don't know anyone get jobs?
I live in a small northern ex mining town. There are plenty of jobs, the only people who cant find a job is those who don't want one. Call centres, supermarkets, mcd/s, security firms always recruiting. Got a friend who is a builder, he cant get a labourer. He has took lads on who apparently cant get a job.

Hi K8 I was wondering what happened to you lately and sorry to see that it's not good news . I'm no expert on staking but once that deal ended the 2K you had is no way enough to try to run solo. But what to do now? You have to get a job. Any job that will give you a regular income. But unlike omm I know it isn't as easy as he says. I'm having to look for work now myself and I'm guessing the job situation in Liverpool is much the same as in Bolton. Contact the job centre make a claim for JSA and they will fix up an appointment with a careers advisor at your local office and you can take things from there. At least if you are claiming benefits then your rent and council tax will be taken care of. There's a few members of TPT (yes profman he's already a member of TPT) use Skype if you want advice about anything. I've not joined in yet myself but I am on Skype. Good luck with things and please keep us informed how things are going. Posted by FlyingDagg
Sorry TPTERS, I had no idea k8 was even on the site. I thought he had just joined or something. I was just trying to put him in touch with people who could give him advice on brm as I am only a recreational player and the ones I know in THS could. I've read through here and he's had great advice. If he doesn't take notice then he's only himself to blame. DID YOU HEAR THAT K8?
Btw ...chuffed that you've got a job interview....good stuffm8 and good luck!

I had to read this about three times before I twigged how ignorant you really are.
And I don't mean to take this thread off topic but when you post complete and utter drivel like you do on this forum, someone has to take you to task. So you've got a criminal record and are the salt of the earth and yet an immigrant who takes a job that you would never take because its beneath you, are cheap labour and tramps?
If you actually get your head out from where the sun doesn't shine, you would realise that some of most wealthy people in this country (who employ thousands of british citizens) are actually immigrants.
Back on topic, K8lou/John hope everything goes well in your interview mate. Poker will always be there and you can build a roll from small acorns with your ability.
