I Need A Job Please

[fatboy69]

Anyone in the Gloucester/Cheltenham area got a reasonably well paid job going? Would pefer to work in the motor trade however as my background is office based (boring i know) so i dont have a trade or any mechanical knowledge of any sort.

Been out of work for far too long now & despite applying for almost 100 jobs only had 1 interview & didnt get the job.

Bored now, no money coming in & need to get back to work asap.

Will consider anything within reason although no comedians please!!!


Thank you

So this is no good then?

[fatboy69]

Tried that - failed!!!!

Thank you anyway for the kind thought.....

Have you considered being a man we?

Or more seriously, if you can't find a job you may have to create one. Doesn't sound like you have much to lose by trying being self employed at "whatever the hell you want" right now.

dont think i got the body to be a man we!! the porn star thing is also not on option either.

i have looked at franchising however the start upcosts can be quite horrific & the few i have seen dont give a very big return income wise on an investment.

no sure what i could do anyway to be honest.

I think that the OP's username might provide a potential reason why this isn't such a great idea

i'm not actually fat. the name seemed like a good idea at the time however now i'm not so sure!!!

Fair enough. Go and sell yourself then!

I've occasionally got odd days I could use a hand. It's not particularly interesting, and it's hard, sweaty, dirty graft. Or being a driver's mate, which is very boring, with odd moments of hard, sweaty graft.

There's a lot of smoking, swearing at Jeremy Vine (except in the van with the DAB radio. We swear at Lauren LaVerne in that one). On the very odd occasion, it's a bit of a laugh.

If you fancy the odd day out for meagre money, pm me. I live just outside Cheltenham, vans and big sweaty sheds at J14 of M5.

Well lets start with the easy stuff.

You'll need a product and customers. Right now, the kids are off from school. So we have customers with plenty of spare time. We also have a rugby world cup about to happen?

Buy a bunch of Rugby balls and flog them on E-Bay.
When not doing that, offer to be a pet sitter (go in and feed peoples pets while they are on holiday).

Both things you can drop pretty quickly, if you get a job offer.

There must be agencys who need casual staff for festivals as well.

Just ideas. Could be bad ones. But thought I'd try and be useful after my we idea fell flat.

(Pimp?)

s2sol - thank you for that. i might take you up on your offer so i will pm you.

with regards to ebay - does anyone actually make any money from selling on it as i dont know of anyone who makes more than odd few quid here & there.

i wouldnt know where to source a large quantity of rugby balls from although as gloucester is a big rugby area thats not a bad idea.

dont like pets & the other half wouldnt be too happy if i offered to be her pimp... then again....
