Leave to rise

See now, I remember Jarvis Cocker's crowning moment when he objected to Jackson's Christ thing. And the whole Jackson/Christ imagery and his love for the publicity stunt. So part of me is saying wait until Sunday in case he "miraculously" makes a recovery.

What an attention drawing stunt that would be. Gosh! :-|

Jobs

Like hens teeth, jobs in Barnsley are few and far between. Despite the recruitment agencies' hordings and placards declaring "Opportunities available now" every single one I've visited has resulted in "Just leave us your CV, we're a bit quiet at the moment because of the down turn".

This amuses and puzzles me. I have never had success through recruitment agencies. Never. Well, ok maybe once, but that ended in disaster.

Looking back:

3 jobs by visits
2 jobs by being in the right place at the right time
2 jobs advertised in Liverpool Echo
2 jobs via Job Centre
1 job via internal notices.

I don't know why I find it so hard to get a job. Perhaps it is my face. Perhaps my face says "Don't give him a job". Next week I am lowering my standards and going for whatever I can get.
