No you cannot carry on as a mortgage broker with a bankruptcy either personal or company.

T'was just a thought but couldn't the business be set up in such a way that the broker is only an employee of the Ltd entity, he/she wouldn't necessarily have to be a Director or even a shareholder?

Re The JSA - if he (Inbred) is entitled to it after contributing to the system for years, and he hasn't lied to the DWP about his 'job seeking activities' then what business is it of any of us?

The 'business of ours' is that he has come on NSC as Mr Loads-of-Money and in doing so has got up the nose of a large number of people.

He doesn't have the intelligence to see that a throw back to the Thatcher era has no place in these difficult times.

dont answer my bloody question then.

 

[bhaexpress]

One of the few good things about being my age is that few employers want to know. As a matter of fact on the rare occasions I have looked at non IT jobs over the last ten years I have always been refused because they feel (quite rightly) that if I was offered an IT job I would take it. Even the Job Centre are pleasantly surprised that I tend to only be out of work for short periods, seldon more than a fortnight. There is a reason of course, I probably apply for at least 100 jobs a week (very easy in IT as it's all done through the web). However, I do at least make the effort.

Currently it takes me less than an hour to get to work whereas my previous work meant nearly six hours a day travelling. However, I am at least satidfied that I do all I can to stay in work.

Bully for me.

Actually earlier this year I posted on a thread DEFENDING them ! However, when all is said and dione there are some real tossers out there. Sometimes you can generalise about an agency but the good and the bad often sit side by side so usually it;s about individuals and not agencies.

One reason why I get regular work is that I tend to be remembered for the right reasons. The fact that I can empathise with them over HR departmets is a factor but I usually have a laugh with them which helps a lot. Their job is pretty tedious so anybody who can spark them up tends to be well looked upon, other might want to note that.

Have you two babies agreed to use Christian names gratuitously just to make a point?

I would agree with that. I have a handful of agencies who I've built up relationships with over the years, and coupled with the fact I've served them well in placements, I do tend to get priority access to available roles.

It's like anything though - a 2 way mutually respectful relationship will go a long way

You've started your new job today haven't you? How is it going?

It's a bit slow ! To be honest if it doesn't speed up I may not be here next week as I will be superfluous. Actually that's not quite as tragic as it sonds as five agencies have already called me with alternatives starting next week which are both longer and better paid contracts. As it is I'll stick with this one as I might learn some new tricks but I have a feeling I won;t be here past Friday.

No its called being civil. You should try it one day.

Oh, that's a bummer if it does finish Friday, but it's a week's money you didn't have before eh? And like you seem to be experiencing, quite often actually getting one job can ignite the positive karma which makes loads more choices appear.

It's usually worked for me in the past too. I've been quite happy to take very short term work with the mentality that anything earnt is something towards my living costs.

Good luck, be interesting to see how your week pans out. If you've got 3 alternative offers on Monday, how many will you have by Friday?

Actually the job count is now up to six. Jobs are a bit like buses I find, they always seem to come in groups. Still, I'm not complaining.
