Advantages: I still have college
Disadvantages: I have no money and nothing to look forward too
Credit Crunch. Recession words I had never heard of until recent years.
Unfortunaly for me when the credit crunch was first starting I was just leaving school luckily enough I managed to get on a college course which I have now been doing for the past 2 years and have just started doing my 3rd and final year. In May 2008 I was luckily enough to get a job working in McDonalds but in March this year as I was told that I had managed to secure an apprenticeship with my local council by one f the people in there head office with no hesitation I left McDonalds for the nedw hopeful future. How wrong I was 2 months into the job I was made redundant and had nothing but my college course to fall back on.
Ok I am receiving £30 a week in EMA for attending college but by the time I've paid travel cost to and from college brought my pet dog her dog food for the week it leaves me with £5 for the rest of the week. I've applied endlessly for jobs after jobs, I even asked McDonalds if they would take me back but no I'm now stuck in a ruck because old mister gordon and the rest of his money robbing lackies have messed the whole country up. People say to me all the time why don't you sign on and get job seekers allowance? I have three reasons for not doing this, one is my pride, two because I'm 18 and on a government funded course they won't allow me to and the final reason is I love being out there working. I know old gordon droopy face has tried but he has failed. This time next year I don't know where I'm gonna be but this moment in time I feel like a lost person not quite sure whats going to happen I may be lucky and manage to secure a job or I still might be the lost soul wondering if it's actually all worth it.
How has the Credit Crunch affected me? It's made my life kind of pointless with nothing in the near or distant future to look forward.
Summary: Gordon you've f***ed us all

- 22/09/09 I've been out of work and it's not nice but got myself back out there and all is good now. You're better off at college for now, hopefully things will pick up for you and everybody esle soon. Gordon Brown is an idiot but he's not totally to blame for this.
Very best of luck :o) |

- 20/09/09 I agree with gentle giant - the credit crunch cannot be blamed on Gordon Brown, people just need a scapegoat. It's been coming for a while, need I remind everyone of the last recession which was the result of another party's poor government!
An yway I hope you get a job soon - you're still young so don't give up yet! |

- 19/09/09 Even if you're too young to have paid any yourself, your parents have probably been paying NI/tax all their lives, therefore - just looking at the pride issue alone - things like Job Seekers' Allowance isn't something for nothing, unless you're a sponger - and from what you say, you definitely are NOT a sponger. Take what is your right??
Also, something will come to you. I think the recession would have happened whoever our PM was and whichever party was in power, as recessions have happened lots of times before in my lifetime, and I feel it has more to do with mismanagement of resources within the private (finance-based) sector rather than government....that's just my opinion though, and not necessarily right.
I agree with x-cupcake-x in that if you're not getting jobs you apply for, it means there's something better for out there.
Keep trying....if you're really focused, you'll get something - and, as history has shown, after every recession comes a boom. |
