Well I just had an email from Pets and Hooves in Rotherham, they are not progressing my application to the next stage, probably because like a fool I declared my disability! Equal opps my foot, they say that because they have to, they don't mean it.

Equal opps my foot, they say that because they have to, they don't mean it.If they did, it’s very hard to prove.Where did you declare your disability? Thought you said you uploaded a CV and cover letter?

@MrAllen1976 I have applied for a few jobs but most of the time it's because there are lots of other people applying
Its good that they tell you that you haven't got the job they aren't ignoring you
Its hard for anyone to get a job these days you will get one you just have to keep applying -
@MrAllen1976 i'm afraid that getting a job isn't easy for most people at the moment, I think I've said before that some vacancies are being chased by 200 applicants or more, especially those advertised on websites.
The best advice anyone can offer you is just keep trying, some of the larger retailers are usually pretty good when it comes to employing disabled people.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
I also can't help the fact that 100% of my customer facing retail experience is in Charity shops, they're the only place that will take on anyone with a pulse of working age even if they're disabled.
I've applied to Tesco about 5 times and ASDA twice, under the "guaranteed interview for disabled applicants" scheme but they keep saying I don't meet the criteria.
Annoying because I literally live round the corner from the local Tesco so I could walk to work plus I'm in there a lot anyway doing my weekly shopping so most of the Checkout staff know me.
