If you
read this article you are likely going to weep for the next generation. It is frustrating
if you keep applying for jobs and not being invited for an interview nor get a permanent
job.
I know we all have different excuses as to why
this might be, but for me, I will rather imagine the difference it will make to
a man like this and many more when we have more new companies by you and I. Issues
like this is prevalent in the society because they are less jobs for more
people.
What are
you doing about it? Do you still doubt the potential in you to be the next
employer of labour? Have you given up on that dream that you have been nursing
over the years?
The time
has come for you to do something about it. Do not allow lives like this waste
after the labour of going through university.
Awake today
and hatch that egg you have been carrying about, you have what it takes.
ENJOY

Huw Davies, 34 from Merthyr

After 13 years and 500 applications – one university
graduate has not yet had a single interview for a permanent job.
Huw Evans graduated from the University of Glamorgan in 2002 with a
degree in geography not knowing he would spend over a decade hunting for a
steady position.
While the South Wales native has been employed over this frustrating
period, these have only been on short fixed-term contracts.
The 34-year-old said: ‘Everyone I’ve spoken to – people in
business, the job centre, my friends and family, just don’t know why I
don’t even get interviews.
‘The sheer fact I have moved three times to work should imply I am eager
to work.
‘It’s hard to blame anyone without being able to put my finger on the
issue in the first place.’
Not that he has been idle in his spare time either, he has completed
three books of poetry and plans to start writing two novels.
Huw has found himself in employment limbo despite his will to work
and respectable academic credentials, he even considered a job a train
driver simply due it being advertised.
Speaking of his predicament: ‘My job centre told me ages ago I was
caught in a catch-22, saying I was over-qualified for a factory-type job
but under-experienced for the kind of job I wanted to do.’
Cabinet minister William Hague was asked about Huw’s case while on an
election campaign visit to South Wales and he expressed his sympathy: ‘We
are determined to create more opportunities for people like him.
‘This is why the creation of more jobs is important. It doesn’t
mean everybody instantly has a job, but it means literally every day more
and more people are able to find work, and there are now more job
vacancies across the UK as a whole than ever before on record.
‘Those opportunities are there – and I hope he has success in the
coming weeks.’
According to the latest government figures, unemployment across Wales
has actually dropped in the last three months by 13,000 to
just 92,000 people.
