My crystal ball says absolutely not.

I lost my job over a month ago and immediately arranged appointment but didn't get one till ten days later. I had my new claims interview, then signed on one week later, and now, two weeks after that, my money is supposedly 'on it's way'. Housing benefit can take even longer, up to 2 months. It really, really, sucks - I just hope you have generous friends and live near a Netto.

I'm an Employment Consultant in Raleigh, NC. I send people to UPS for package handleing positions. The position, at least here, requires a lot of physical stamana. Continous, non-stop lifting of upto 75 lbs. You begin work at a set time and finish whenever the trucks stop comming. It could be 5 hrs, it could be 12 hrs...and you don't get so much as a bathroom break while you are there. The environment is freezing cold in the winter and hot as all blazes in the summer. Holiday times obviously have alot more work than normal (especially Christmas). On the plus side, the pay is usually very good for that type of work and it is usually the only way to get yopur foot in the door with this company which is generally a very good one.

You should start looking now and just continue to look until you move and when you get there.  The job market changes constantly.  Feel free to send in your resume too but mention in your cover letter that you won't be there for another six months.  I believe it would make you look motivated/

It depends on the location, the people, and what job you will be performing.\n\nI worked there for two days and then I quit.  It was a second job for me - I went thru the two weeks of training but when I was placed in the actual store as a cashier I hated it.  The store mgmt and co-workers were anything but pleasant and the 'in-store' training that was promised was never delivered.  They could never get my work schedule correct and the new employees were pretty much thrown into the ocean to sink or swim with no clue.\n\nSo it just depends.  I had a friend that worked at a different location and remained there for five years.\n\nGo ahead with the interview.  See how you like it and hope for the best.  Good luck.

That pretty much depends upon what the company he works for is like. Most companies are relatively lenient about employess who have personal problems, but he may be in a position which is critical for the company. I would estimate no more than a month or two at the latest.

Give them a three week notice for now, and if you find out you will have to leave a little sooner than that, let them know right away! Thats about as fair as it can get without losing a paycheck!

I must have I'm self-unemployed. The money is terrible. but the hours are great. If you are bored at work, just imagine you are working for $1 a month carrying big heavy canvas bags full of sludge down a mountain in some exotic location. Then make a cup of tea, back at work, think about the last good meal you shared. Hey presto not so boring after all-methinks.

don't worry it takes about one month. the best thing to do is ask questions it you do not know what to do.as for fitting in just find one person that you are comfortable with and talk to them about what is going on and in no time you will be getting along just fine with everyone, number one rule stay away from work drama..ie gossip

it will take only 7 days after the operation day.if you are working on ajob which require lifting heavy load then you have to take at least month rest.but if you are working in office you can join the duty on the 8 th day of opperation day.

Wow.  Five weeks of vacation/sick?  That IS incredible.  You better take advantage of what they're giving you while you can since you're going to be slammed starting in Jan.  You're wanting to take off the 4 remaining days you have around Christmas.  I would imagine it would be pretty slow around that time anyway.  The easiest way to approach your boss is to simply ask.  Something like, How's it looking around such and such dates?  I'd like to take 4 days but if we're going to be busy during that time, then I could work something else out.  Your job sounds great.

It sounds normal for an average UK company to do that. Some will have policies in place to provide additional income but this is unlikely to kick in after just 6 months.

shipping/receiving make about 10-12 hour. if your working for corporate than it's usually around 40k+/yr. laborers, i believe, have to join a union.

yes.  since the last strike, employees under the new contract are getting paid much less than employess hired previous to the contract changing.  if you work at vons, you will be expected to work nights, weekends, and holiday without much appreciation from your supervisors. rumour is they will be striking again within the year.

Depends, do you have a place to stay or will you be renting a room or apartment? Will you have to eat out or cook in? Who will you be working for that doesn't intend to pay you for 3 months?

Hi, like you I found myself suddenly unemployed a couple of weeks ago. I applied to Boots for a part-time job up until xmas (it's only 7 weeks)-mind you, I have worked there before, so it wasn't too difficult. Most of your local stores will need temporary staff, and don't forget you'll get staff discount which will help. I think you can work up to 16 hours and still get benefits. It's a difficult time to look for a permanent job, but I wish you lots of luck, and hope you still have a good xmas! :)
