Why is it so difficult to get a job here?

[silver13]

Just a bit of information to brighten the spirit, my wife applied to many many job vacancies all in areas that where within her comfort zone of administrative work, she was relentless in making applications and would spend almost all day on the computer searching and filling in applications on all the popular web job search web sites. She never gave up even though at the end of each day she felt very stressed by the whole process, but now she has a job that is better than she could have dreamed of, it just goes to show that patience is a virtue, and to any lazy Brits just claiming benefits when in reality they could work for a living, do what my wife did and get a job!!!! :-)

the problem is, for some people claiming benefits they are unemployable, unlike your wife, and the longer your on benefits the harder it is to get off, not many employers will take that risk. So their in a bit of a catch 22
