Falling on hard times
Hello everyone, today this blog is somewhat of my personal feelings following recent events in my life.
I must say that I live in a wonderful home with an ever loving husband in a small town and I could not be happier, but I must tell you why some things have happened. I am currently unemployed for two months nearly going on three, I am searching for jobs daily and having little success in return, I have been on unpaid work experiences and trials and still nothing. So in my desperation I have had to sign on at the job center, I thought they would help me and provide for me but..........
I am not receiving any money at all! I have applied twice but to no avail. I am just outraged and upset that decent people like myself and there are many thousand more possibly in a similar situation like myself, who are not receiving anything. This is my first time going on benefits and the system is frustrating, when I did have a job I have paid into that system and to hold out my hand for help when I need it most and to have it slapped back is unfair. I have been told that there are other benefits I could apply for but it would require my husband to sign on too, but countless times I have told them he has just started his own business has put all his savings into opening his shop. They I feel expect me to leech of his earnings and I do not want to do that sigh! Each week I go in sign for absolutely nothing and sit there for ten minutes with my mentor going through what jobs I have applied for and what not, previously I have asked is there any courses that I can go on but all the answers I get is 'We don't do that sort of thing anymore'. Their attitude is unprofessional at times and this is my personal opinion.
My confidence in them has lessened from day one, my confidence in myself has been steadily going down hill and I just don't feel like myself anymore these days. I try to but on a brave face but sometimes its not enough, I've talked it over with my husband, my parents and the rest of the family they are always there for me offer encouragement. I feel like I am getting no where at all, I have all these skills and experiences to offer, I just want to work so I can get back on track to help rebuild myself again. I will keep on trying because I was brought up to never give up! never surrender!
But a word of warning if you are signing on to the job center for the first time, make sure you have all your P60'S and the right information to get what you need, be careful and I hope you can handle it better than me.
This for me has been a weight of my chest and I do feel better for it hopefully when I blog again it shall be with better news, but till then I'll see you all soon x x x x x
