Blimey, Hash, talking about kicking someone when they are down! Here's hoping that you, Blouse and the other forumites who are 'temporarily resting' soon find gainful employment again.

Cheers Slugsta

Apparently there are no depths to which the sharks will not sink. I got the e-mail below, thought it sounded a bit too good to be true, then had a look around the website they claimed to be from, here. Clock the warning in the grey box, looks like I was right.

I'll remove the bloke's name in the interests of not doing a D2D, although frankly he doesn't deserve it.

That's shite Hash....although Designers' Guild seem to be in need of a proof reader for their little grey box...maybe you could apply for that?

Actually I forwarded it to the police, with a copy to Total Jobs' customer service department and a PS saying any genuine job offers welcome. Can't blame me for trying!

I have a small business employing 4 people, I've taken two on in the last 12 months and find it really difficult to recruit. I keep hearing how difficult it is for graduates etc - advertised 20-25k with car etc job on southern grad web site and had no responses! Recently posted an ad for some part time really basic IT support work that could be done remotely for £15-20/hr that would suit a student - no replies .

I'm pretty sure I don't write ads like a muppet!

Guess it depends on which side of the fence you're on.

Erm..... at the risk of being a complete slapper, how basic?

Apart from tax, job uncertainty, being a slow bugger, Blackburn losing (again), everything OK Dave. You?

Part-time basic IT support sounds good if I lose my job!

Yeah Danny B.. Sort of OK, apart from being jobless. I thought I was in for some quality training, But having revamped my daughters garden, and decorated the hall stairs and landing training has been limited
