Why is it so difficult to get a job here?

[kermit123]

Dont get yourself down. Unfortunately the `educated` people here will only employ similar `educated` people because thats all they know.
However there are a lot of people and companies who realise that the UK education system is a complete waste of time and you are much better off employing people who are wanting to work - even if they have no qualifications.
Look a bit deeper for opportunities - dress-up and walk straight into hotels or offices where you would like to work and show them what you are like - even offer to work for a few days for free even - if they like you then they employ you.
This may sound daft but it does work - especially with the smaller companies
Good luck.

Many come here from abroad to study some come to use the top class schools, unis and colleges which exist. But sadly not all schools and what have you are up to the very best standards.

Many people do trial periods in jobs my wifes first job was a trial where she worked free for so many hours 10 or 15 i think. She impressed and was before she knew it signed up.
She had a job with out any work experience to show. But she proved to them she was a top notch worker.

Needs must and the job market at the moment is shrinking at a tremdous rate so employers will not take risks. Once that employee is signed up they are dam hard to get rid of. If they are not sure you are not ideal for the job they will most likely pass you by as so many candidates in the market.
