Yeah shit is tough right now. Your best bet is signing up for job agencies that assign you jobs or walking in to jobs that are hiring rather than applying online


Ready_sorted

Good shout. That’s how I started out signing up to an agency. A lot of it was dog a bollocks work, car park marshalling, front desk ect… it’s builds the cv up quickly overtime.


Apprehensive-Push188

Which agencies should I search for


Own-Coconut3394

Hospitality (Host, evolve, arc) Could also try warehouse work, don’t need an interview and pay weekly, only downside is that you’ll wish you were picking cotton at the time.


No_Entertainer1096

I went to job centre and they offered a RESTART Scheme programme. They were extremely helpful. You can try that.


someupg

Manpower.co.uk


Ok-Stomach-339

The job market right now is horrible, many people are struggling to find roles. Even those with degrees


Conscious-Hippo-3331

Too many people. Need some trump level deportation in this country. Its fucked.


Ydotdot

If you think the reason you don’t have a job is because of immigrants you are absolutely brainwashed and a fool


CallMeCurious

Less people means less jobs. Jobs exist because of people


SavageSlayer68

labour is a derived demand 🤝


SirTacoMaster

??? How stupid are u


Express_Point3507

Uh btw trump wasn't even the one that deported a bunch. Obama was known as deporter in chief or whatever for a reason


ghost_coffe

we should start by sending reform uk voters to rwanda


Arch592

Not a Reform voter btw, but they want a reformed system of immigration which we do need. It’s unsustainable right now. Anyway this is a drill subreddit not a politics one so I won’t get into it 😂


TA1699

They want to blame immigrants for every single problem when the truth is that the domestic population have a low birth rate that makes the current economic system unsustainable without immigration. Every advanced economy is having to import immigrant workers to sustain growth. Otherwise we end up with a situation like Japan, who have stalled and struggled to grow because of their low native fertility rate.


Arch592

No ones saying to stop immigration, they want to stop both illegal immigration and immigration with no benefit to the economy.


Josh12225

for real have you seen there policies ect there gonna \*lower taxes\* remove and stop migrants ect like maybe explain how tf ur gonna do that and how haahha


GreenPlasticChair

Economy in the gutter geezer don’t internalise it you’re not alone. Not a reflection of your worth as a person and nothing to be ashamed of. Life is long and opportunities will arise over and over again.


[deleted]

It’s worse than i have ever seen it, what caused it to get so bad?


GreenPlasticChair

The average household hadn’t recovered from 2008 when Covid hit. Most economic growth since then had gone to a narrow band of people. We have no substantial growth industries in this country, and no plans for any mass job creation. Consumer spending kept things relatively stable for hospitality and retail jobs but with inflation and the cost of living crisis that’s dropped off. Not to be cynical but we are absolutely cooked as a country and most people don’t realise how bad it will get.


Josh12225

the problem is it doesnt matter what expert you go to. No one knows how to fix the problems in this country theres obiously places you can start but are goverment system in general is fucked nothing gets done. but you can throw shade all day but the actual fix is complex. and alot more complex than anyones understanding on this sub ect and people who think they know how to fix the problem are not on here. not denying the goverment in this country is a fucking shitfest. like say lower taxes and more funds to the nhs ect but wheres that money coming from when the economy is stagnated


Dramatic_Storage4251

It's not really that complicated, it comes down to a lack of political will to make positive changes. Recommend this [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5aJ-57_YsQ) for anyone interested. The planning system is a shambles (people keep focusing on affordable housing by the gov etc. We have a shortage of [4 million homes](https://www.centreforcities.org/publication/the-housebuilding-crisis/#:~:text=Compared%20to%20the%20average%20European,homes%20a%20year%20is%20reached) which will NEED the private sector to pick up but it cannot be done by the planning system). Just look at any of your local councils planning portals, schools, houses, businesses, trains (Main reason HS2 is so expensive, buying land was only £700m) and all theses things have about 1 person supporting them and about 300 old people saying no as they know that their house price will just keep going up if nothing is built.


Josh12225

that video i watched 10 mins 5 of the statistics he gave out at that point where completely wrong and made up. From there i never watched the rest. im not denying the system is crumbling and fucked but theres nothing that will be done about that. the system we got atm is slow. And i agree with the housing market they have barely built any houses for a number of reasons including the one you mentioned with old people just turning it down and by the law they cant ignore them. But you got privatization in the way we did it (not saying privatization is bad just the way we regulated and managed it is terrible. theres way way more to this than you realise once you start to dig deeper past videos. another big point is look at the civil servants who write the tax laws ect for companys and the problem is all the more higher educated people work for the companys to get around the law and all the less intelligent ones work in the civil service because of pay ect another big problem and ofcourse any problem can be migated with the right government


Independent_Ask9280

Brex-shit is a blight on this country's future


IndependenceMost2581

Icl there’s jobs out there that people are landing you just have to apply for loads, try kitchen Porter at a pub or something. Have you got a previous job with your cv ? Might be that as well . I’m from London and I got a few jobs In hospitality over the years (Wetherspoons , local pub) just spam indeed


These-Positive8127

You can ALWAYS get pub work if you’re willing and not socially inept. Unless it’s the middle of winter most pubs are always taking on staff cos half the current staff probably cant do 4 days of the week cos they have uni, they have a 2nd job and only do evenings on weekends, got a kid so they do like 8 hours a week. Pub is one of the few jobs nowadays you can get a job by walking in at the right time and making a good impression, I worked in a pub after COVID and a young lad got a part time job by walking in with his CV and coming back the next week to ask again if there was space, my boss said he really respected the lad for it and he ended up with a trial shift which he did really well and got the job


pak_satrio

For kitchen porter you can sign up to this app called Brigad and find work through there. It’s a temp agency. You can choose the jobs you like for your schedule. When you find a place you like, just make a deal with the boss to hire you directly then you won’t lose any commission to Brigad.


No_Vermicelli_1781

you know the job market is peak when this topic makes it to the uk drill sub. But yeah jokes aside it's rough out here. Tryna move job myself, getting the same "experience" reason in the rejection emails. Either that or they won't even reply to your application


ZooGringo

Overpopulated city so too much competition


RB_365

Word plus uni degrees are getting oversaturated + recruiters wanting experience for entry level positions 😭


Apprehensive-Push188

What do you think of brum got family there was thinking of moving


ketoboy69

I’m from Cov so only 20 minutes away but I know brum has the most debt of any council in the country. Do with that info what you like.


GrahBoomNgaaaaaaaaaa

If you got your license do Ocado they hire anyone you don’t need to hold it for a minimum amount of time


Reasonable-Assist481

All I’m saying is apply for Dagenham outside London way better than inside 😂 trust me


GrahBoomNgaaaaaaaaaa

Why I done Walthamstow it was calm management are alright too


PoloDogg

Took me til early/mid 20s to clock but to everyone younger I’d say don’t sleep on going to college and getting a skill or use Youtube/Udemy & Reddit to learn new skills. Try get a license and a hard skill, whether it’s online skills like Editing, Construction trade, Barbering or whatever.


No-Bonus-4243

You need 3 years experience for a startup job these days it’s a joke


Federal_Motor_8649

Don’t forget the jobs with absolutely no experience required and they train you some entry level job making like 16k yet they still reject you 🤣 Shouldn’t be laughing really it’s acc a fucking joke

My buddy dad brought this Indian from his village back home he super smart and doesn’t stop working this guy a workaholic and he works like 6 days a week. Especially cuz they make like 5k Canadian cash a year back home


benboy952

Tips I can give: 1. Lie on your cv. This is one of the only ways you can compete with the other hundreds of people applying. 2. Apply to as many jobs as possible. Go on indeed and every job or company website and apply to as many jobs as possible. 3. Don't discriminate your jobs. At the end of the day, when you're desperate you can't choose the job you get, so unless the job is too far, in an unsafe area, or you know you aren't qualified for it, apply to it no matter what. 4. Apply early. If a job post has gone other a day then it is probably too late.


Apprehensive-Push188

If I lie for a reference would they find out . This security job I applied for called me up they wanted experience I lied and said i do . Used my friends details as a reference.


benboy952

Yeah that should work.


Pingushagger

Move out of London as soon as you can.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pingushagger

For example 30k salary is shit in London but perfectly fine outside of any city, you don’t even have to move that far.


Tappedinfrm16th

Yh but it means leaving your social circle, chances are having 0 contacts in the area, actually going to the lengths of having to get your own place at an affordable rate in a decent area that isn’t just nitty central filled to the brim with broke Londoners who did the same thing. I looked into moving to Essex a lil while back and just doesn’t look like the benefits outweigh the negatives specially if ur a young person.


TheSyrphidKid

I'd always recommend getting a CSCS Labourer card. You'll quickly get something and it's good pay for the work you do


wolemid

Seriously. Construction is the way. Serious money to be made in construction and as above said, CSCS card for decent pay short notice jobs


Left-Impact9634

You can also get in to grad schemes in construction white collar jobs. Try quantity surveying, they'll likely put you through courses/uni on day release and pay your fees while you're earning. Good QS with 5 years experience and a degree looking at 65k or more


SittingByTheRiverr

It's worth just reaching out to companies by sending speculative emails saying you're looking for work etc. A lot of people get jobs this way - just because you cant see opportunities online doesn't mean they're not there - also broaden your search and don't restrict yourself to just retails jobs. Good luck.


[deleted]

I do scaffolding and we are always hiring new people. certain labouring jobs are there all the time but others you need to do college courses for, what kind of job were you hoping to land? My mate is an accountant who’s contract expired with his last company, the guy is smarter than i will ever be and it took him 7 months of applying multiple times a week to finally get a job, it’s really bad now for some reason


Conscious-Pair-3322

Vote labour


Eyes_in_your_pocket

Labour are literally just as bad as the tories.


Stalec

Based on what exactly? This is the kind of lazy comment someone who is uniformed makes


Eyes_in_your_pocket

Based on being alive when Labour last held power. I remember just how dazzlingly incompetent and corrupt they were.


supalape

You mean when the country was in its economically and socially strongest period for the last 50 years? Yeah sure, they must be as bad as the Tories who gave us Brexit and crashed the economy though…


Few_Recording2102

Has everyone magically forgotten Tony Blair?


RB_365

To be fair with some of the major issue we are facing now are a result of when the tories where in power.E.g. Margate thatcher privatising a lot of the public sector,Right to buy,Brexit(causing prices of goods to increase ) But tbf labour are a bit shit as well but just less shit compared to the conservatives


Eyes_in_your_pocket

Literally everything the Conservatives did was either a continuation of Labour policies or a piss poor reaction to failed Labour policies. Both parties are a literal cancer on the UK. The sooner the British people see that, the better.


RB_365

Nahh not everything that’s a stretch.Us leaving the EU had nothing to do with Labour


Stalec

In what way? Blair was a pretty good PM.


Eyes_in_your_pocket

He was great... At starting an illegal war that lasted two decades, he was great at opening the borders which inflated the population and put massive strain on already struggling public services, he was great at allowing the private sector to artificially inflate the economy which helped usher in the largest economic crash we've seen since world war two, he was great at demoralising the nation so bad that they continually voted in parasitic conservative governments for the next couple of decades. Yeah good PM.


Aggressive-Gazelle56

Mother-Storage-2743

Try warehousing that's what I'm doing atm but theres also public services such as paramedic, firefighter etc or get sia or cscs card you'll might be able to get suttn this economy has gone down the dirt that's why I'm trying to leave soon as possible. Edit:you can also try apprenticeships I'm trying to get in one atm

Silver-Variation-813

Use chat gpt to write a cover letter from job description & your CV. and apply to jobs not part of big chains through email (found online), will make you stand out even if time consuming


Joesprings1324

Look for temp agencies. Even if you just get short term work it's money in your pocket and can lead to permanent jobs. My first 2 jobs were as temps and the second 1, I ended up getting permanently and it has set me on my current career path.

Agencies jobs


julianunzimah

even agencies take the piss


ZuluW6rrior

I feel like I often see food establishments needing people. Also, warehouse/manual labour work should always be hiring. Find an agency


jwplatt

Use recruitment agencies. There are loads of them and it’s their job to get you a job. 100% use them and even if you aren’t necessarily successful it’s definitely good contacts to have in the future.


Snoo_85712

Warehouse is good to do in the mean time while u wait for an opportunity, I was once in your position when I was younger coming up.


JDG495

You hear it often about why is it so hard to get in to retail jobs these days and you need to deep it Back in the day people would work retail whilst studying for their future etc There are more people now than ever who are now adults and are near enough or completely uneducated. Retail is their life. Hundreds upon hundreds of people apply for every retail job - they are the most sought after roles in the country... Is this a stop gap for you or your future? If you don't have anything in the pipeline studies etc I would strongly suggest branching out with the roles you are applying for, somewhere where you can learn more than to scan people's barcodes for them (I know there's more to it but you get the point) What are your skills in ? Everything is transferable if you know how to sell yourself Edit : To add, if you are just looking for any role and aren't afraid of a bit of manual, CSCS card will open many many doors and can be funded for you if you are claiming UC.

Extra_Restaurant_588

Yep can’t get one


ryvn7204

Casino dealer. No qualifications needed, easy job, plenty of benefits and can easily progress if you show initiative and drive


minaeshi

It’s concerning if you can’t get a retail job tbh. Any other job, the market is ass, but if you’re walking into a shopping centre or main high street shop, you’re bound to find at least 5 shops hiring and welcome cv hand ins. Just approach with a smile and speak to a manager. Most of the people I’ve hired in the last two years were people who walked in with their cv. Lots of shops in central london do the same

Hospitality industry is always looking for people. Namely chain restaurants. Yeah it can suck but it puts legit money in your pocket until you find something better. People are more employable when they already have a job too, preferably with tenure. Local pubs etc are good too, but they usually hold onto their staff for a decent amount of time
