What have you achieved today?

[Blue Maniac]

I am looking but it is so hard to find one, any tips?

Yes. Don't be unemployed in 2009. Not wanting to put a damper on your spirits, but right now every job you go for is being eyed up by dozens if not hundreds of people, even the shit ones.

Apply for a minimum of 150 jobs, I'm not joking. That way, maybe 15 will actually contact you and interview you, and you'll be in with a chance.

Don't wear trainers to an interview.

Don't bring pets to an interview.

Don't tweak your interviewer's nose.

Don't - and this is the most important of all - ever use employment agencies. Always always always apply direct to the employer. If this isn't possible, forget the job. It probably doesn't exist. Otherwise you're wasting your time.

Hope this helps.

**** me, money for old rope. Mind you, it's been £30 a week since I was your age ten years ago. £30 then bought a lot more than it does now...

I know, it's an expensive addiction.

Got totally lost trying to find Solihull, so much so that I've just gone out and bought a sat nav.

How on earth can anyone get lost trying to find Solihull? M69, M6, M42 and you're there!

Yep, so nice of the government to pay for me though.

Have you been approved for this yet? You do know it is means tested and your parents must earn less than 30k a year joint? If you have then great, just didn't want you getting your hopes up!

So almost nothing about it has changed since 1999? Even JSA's gone up two shilling.

Many of the A-Level students that have attended schools where I have worked have been employed by local supermarkets. I realise that these are not glamour jobs, but are popular amongst students.

Because Junction 3a & 4 are virtually the same thing.

Make sure you work hard then, us taxpayers are paying you. The least you can do is get good grades. Don't spend it on drinking and shagging women.........on second thoughts!
