Well, I A Employed Again -------

[excelsior-1]

------ in a manner of speaking


whilst i have been getting rejections from applications, and even no responses at all - i signed up with two agencies

one of them have sent me to a firm for this week only, to cover for holiday absences - and i have just got home from the first day

the work is very menial, far far below my capabilities and skills - but at least it's something

[RandyMarsh]

nice one

[Mamyalynne]

It is something indeed and even if only a stop gap could lead to bigger and better things.

Good news ♥

[boxtops]

[DTCwordfan]

[excelsior-1]

[welshtanner]

"thanks folks

i refuse to sign on the unemployment register"

you're not signing on? Why not?

[Elina]

Great excel, foot in the door so to speak! Fingers crossed for you !

[Mamyalynne]

Isn't it advisable to 'sign on' to keep NI Contributions up - or does it not work like that now?

[excelsior-1]

er, surely you cannot sign on whilst working for agencies

or do i have that wrong?

[jennyjoan]

Excel - you should have signed on and received monies applicable to you.

[tonyav]

Well done excel, onwards and upwards.

[excelsior-1]

it was only two weeks anyway, since the redundancy

[tonyav]

If you've paid NI for thirty years not signing on won't affect your pension.

Better some work than no work. Hopefully something more permanent will come your way.
