I have been let go of two jobs before the trial period but I wasn't ready to return to work so my attitude shone through and it was back to the drawing board.
I was then let go of a third because I couldn't crack one of the jobs. I got offered a different type of job at same company. The manageress there said I was like her right hand women and I was adept at this machine. But they criticised my life choices: Why hadn't I gone to university? I should be living the life to full.
I eventually went back to college. I decided to bite the bullet and get something more fulfilling. I unconsciously picked a job that I knew I was guaranteed to be accepted to and that provided svq 's so I could work and train at same time.
If I hadn't had such rotten luck in the job department I would have cut and run knowing that my personality was not suited to this kind of work.
I had been forced to take the first job that became available since I got unwell at 18. I wasn't given the luxury of choice. That's what so many working class people are up against. They simply cannot wait around for the more suitable job when there's bills to pay and mouths to feed. I had to support myself.
