How many interviews have you been for?

Interview fail...why wont people employ me? I'm lovable

Hang in there Gemby - that first job is really hard to nail. Employers are such scaredy cats they nearly always play safe and pick someone with too much experience and qualifications. You'll get an opportunity and then you can start building a CV.

No 1 son is in the same boat and is equally scunnered.

Indeedy, you need to go through a few interviews. Someone will employ you.

The dole isn't that bad.

The dole isn't that bad.

A few years ago, I'd have agreed. They ask too many questions these days, like are you looking for a job and what have you applied for.

[Alien5]

this is what it was like before they pushed me into joining the job club.


Mr Dole: What have you been doing to find work?

Mr callum: erm...Looking in shop winders for vacancy's, reading the job papers at the library and phoning up employers.

Mr Dole: so have you had any reply's yet?

Mr callum: No.

Mr Dole: What are you going to do next?

Mr callum: Keep looking.

when i got to 6 or 9 months signing on, the cunts would change my signing on time from 3.00PM to 9.00AM to get me to oversleep, miss their interviews and appointments. then they gave me 2 more chances to get there on time, i missed the time by 10 mins, they would tell me I'd broken the rules of my benefit agreement cancel my giro make me fill out all those new claim forms that make you have to go to their Shitty office at more ridiculous bullshit times of the day when you should be at home eating safeways savers baked beans on toast.

I am going to be a stay at home dad. That sounds pretty cool to me. I am also going to apply to a doctoral prog or two. Why not, I will have a few years while the kids get older.

AHhhhhhh hahahahaahahahahahhahaha!!!!

I haven't read the rest of this thread yet but I'm stunned at the fact that you think you'll have time to breathe let alone complete a doctorate or two when your twins arrive? Unless your parenting style is from the "hire a fulltime-live in nanny" school of doing things. Save your post - re-read in a years time - laugh at yourself.

[Skweeky]

That was pretty much my exact reaction.

Edit: My husband is currently a stay at home dad. He is looking after our 1-year old full time. I just told him about your plans, and he didn't laugh at all.
His mouth dropped open and he said 'poor guy'.


In my experience, come bed time for the wee ones, you'll probably be too tired to read a book, let alone study.

Anyway, it would be pretty cool if you prove all of us wrong! So good luck and keep us posted.

Great minds and all that skweeks! And if he thinks he'll have more time on his hands as they grow even more hahahahaa. Once they start talking they don't stop until they are teenagers.
