My advice mate is to visit every single place in your area that does similar sort of that your used to. Most jobs arent advertised in the job centre. A good impression face to face with the boss is often enough to get a trial.

If you cant get anything you want, then take anything. The best place to get a job is when you are in a job. You just need to keep in the routine of getting up every morning and going to work.

Speak to your morgage company, If you cannot find a job then maybe you could use any employment insurance you have.

Ehat area of the country are you in mate? people on here may know of something that interests you.

Keep your chin up mate, Dont look at it as a kick in the cunt, but an opportunity to progress your career
