This might sound silly but this series really helped me with my own job search! I was with several employment agencies and none of them were helpful much, one was downright awful. I have a disability and I really needed some guidance. I thought that the employment agencies would be like this lovely woman but nope! So I just used these videos to guide myself along as if Hayley was with me lol Well, something must be right because I got my first job at 26 (Better late then never!) and I've been there for a year now! ^_^ So thank you Fairy Jobmother!
Love it! I used TH-cam videos on how to do job interviews, what to say what not. Listen to one just before going in. Makes me confident and ready for any question they throw at me 😊
As I wrote before, we need hundreds of this original Hayley. She solves problems there where others are throwing roadblocks on the way to getting a job.
You’re absolutely right. People need emotional support and practical skills in a small group situation run by someone who understands them. It’s a pity that there isn’t a programme training more mentors like this. We desperately need something like this in Australia.
@claire Sutton Hahahaha!!! The state pays me 2000 $ a month for doing nothing,and I am never ever going to work again👌,and I have only worked from I was 16-22 so my job will only to take care of myself and enjoy life. Ps: I don't pay rent eighter bc I live at my bf house....so you can just stay mad😆
i think making them stand in the high streets with signs saying "looking for work" is going a bit far, thats a very embarrassing thing to do. I myself would never do that
I couldn't agree with you more. Unemployed people already have to deal with a lot of humiliation and shame *because* they are unemployed. It makes me wonder if that story is even true regarding that lady who done it for 3 days and got a job because of it. I'll stick with applying online, ringing up and handing in CVs thanks.
I love how she runs the girls through mock interviews so they know what to expect and how to deal with things, so they don't go into things blind. Shes giving skills rather than handing it to them.
We had this at school, we had to find a job to "apply" for, fill out an application form and submit a CV and then we had mock interviews for the job. It REALLY helped my confidence in being interviewed. I've had jobs since 16, even while I was in full time education and the longest I have been unemployed was 3 months after graduating uni.
I felt for the 54 year-old struggling with job search. One sentence hit me. She said "I am going back down the path I have just crept up. I can't sleep, panic attacks..." etc.
I really hope the programme designers gave her extra help as she had so much courage in the beginning, the boot camp method is not for her they do need to go back and try another way to work as she definitely wanted to get back into work. It was almost a fear of failure. A special good luck to her.
I thought that lady was going to have another panic attack and bring on another brakedown iv had two in my life and I'm only 33 now I hope she's better now
My friend has learning disabilities, he can't read and write. In the last few weeks he has been to many job interviews and job fair s. He is 55.worked 7yrs at our food bank plus other charity's. It's sad to see him trying so hard. He's a hard worker and deserve s a break
I job hunted for 2 years every single day all day, and i mean 7 days a week from age 17 to 19 after i got paid off from my first job then just gave up altogether as its so easy done. Then looked for work for 1 week at age 20 and got a job. Its all about luck and timing, pure and simple! You have to have been there and tried it to know what i mean. And that was in 1990 and it was grim, really bad with no work at all as we were coming out of the 1980s plus my age was against me. I got a job at age 16 probably becouse i walked strait into the boss office with my overalls on? And he looked at me up and down from his desk and said "well at least your dressesd for it and very keen" and smiled while he said it. And that was before he even knew my name or anything about me, i just said is there any jobs going? And it worked. But now you cant even do that?? Why? What other way did people get jobs 30, 50, 70 years ago? I wanted him to see me in the flesh right there and then and already dressesd to start work, hard graft work, not with a nice white shirt and trousers on and black shoes as if am at a funeral. I went in basicly telling him that i was taken the job not asking him for it, and i think he knew it, but couldnt help but like it. Maybe i reminded him off himself when he was age 16. As i was quite tall as well for my age at 6ft. Wich also helps if its hard work and dirty, all my jobs have been dirty and hard. But now people are being punished from the state for not doing stuff that is just ridicoulas and if you do it then most will lie about what you SHOULDNT have did or what you didnt do just to stop there money. The system is built on targets and when that happens its just all about corruption and lies. Punishing people into starvation wont get them into work! And the crime rate is through the roof due to that. Its sickening. Thats why the women at age 54 had to leave the course, she just couldnt believe what she was being asked to do. And most of it is just pure nonesense. And she worked all of her adult life, but if it had been the old system the women would maybe have got a job. The system pushed her out of the course, and i noticed it was all kept quiet on the proggrame. Meaning they wouldnt show or discuss what she had to do? Or why she quit? She wanted a job but had to quit the course becouse it was all too complicated and deliberatly set up to be hard work. And that was some one who wanted to work? I am still trying to work that bit out??? Now its even more harder, much more harder! To the point where people cant even last 1 day. So there money stops! And how many women and men like her have had to quit courses while WANTING to work since then, becouse the systems designend to fail them. Not help them! The rules have changend so much since then that people have took there own lives. The system says get a job and do not ask for any help and while you try and get a job we will try and fault you at every turn then take your money from you. And if your good at looking for work then after 6 months we will just lie that you failed to do what we asked you to do then take your money! This is where the grey areas come in, and the system is doing nothing to address that or even look at that, it was through a jobclub a got a job after a week at age 20, but now all that or this has gone. It was a great thing to have back in 1993 becouse it was voluntary and the people there really did want a job or they wouldnt be there as they didnt have to be. But we did it our way and at our pace? And i got a job just after 1 week. But i couldnt get a job in 2 years trying every day. Now if we had to do it the way it is done now then i wouldnt have got that job after a week becouse we would all still be playing catch up and be maybe a few days behind becouse of none stop pathetic stuff that you have to do and all of it just pure rubbish, crap, that no one wants to see, especialy an employer. Then more objects put infront of you to over come and complete, and thats what it is an object. So by todays insane twisted system that job i got would have by passesd bye me just after a week as i wouldnt have even seen it let alone apply for it, as the system would have me completing all sorts of crap, like a 'to do list' then when thats done you will be told to do another 'to do list' then the next day another 'to do list' but put more stuff on your 'to do lists' 1,2 and 3 lists. As in what exactly? A man asked. He was told "thats up to you becouse in short this isnt good enough is it" so you are being told what to do but the person telling you doesnt or wouldnt even know what to do or write themselfs? Its like asking a painter to make a whisky barrel and the person asking or telling is just a civil servant? A mean thats what its come to. Too many private companys involved in the system for money and every one has a different way of how it should be done? With lots of money at the root of it as in millions then of course its going to be corrupt to the core and thats the nicer ones. Its like asking pablo escobar if his private company could do a better job.
Wow, all three of these ladies are an inspiration. Wish them all the luck in the world and I hope the lady that wasn’t ready will find her time will come soon. I thought she was lovely and just needs a bit more support.
Hayley Taylor is a perfect candidate for a role model award. She is charismatic and engaging. A perfect role model for anyone. The results speak volumes well done Hayley xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ahhh, that was lovely.... I especially like the blonde mother at the restaurant interview.....I think that lovely smile and wanting to make the customers smile, is the most important part of that job... She will get the experience ....Good on you, girls ! Dont forget to appreciate Hayley, cos even though she can be a bit tough at times, she is on your side ...She's genuine
Wow Hayley. Honestly. Good on you. Showing the ladies whats out there, helping them build their confidence. I absolutely love what your doing. Well done you.
I'm just wondering if assessment is done on each person. Example. Self assessment form (where client fills out questions like, confidence, medical, mental health etc, problems relating to work like transport, can't work late nights etc... Education. From there the WORK BROKER (Hayley) can then have group meeting to see where each person is at. For example. Sue Riches need a med cert to state she if fit for work. Lianne also has issues with housing which really needs to be looked into. Can't get a job if you have no where to live. Dee has been a full time mum for decades so a course/study might be the best thing for her along with community work once a week to keep her confidence up. Something as simple as volunteer at a community store or something. Don't just throw people out here when they have no skills. This world doesn't work on "Transferable Skills".
What I am getting from Lianne isn't that shes applying for higher qualification jobs to feel better about herself. Rather to meet the quota for job search so she isn't sanctioned.
@@littledotti I completely agree, it is a waste of time the job centre forcing people to apply for roles that they are unsuitable for, better to improve the quality of the job applications and spend time doing that.
These girls are so amazing, it made me tearful. They way in which they were so honest about their situations and they were so lovely and likeable. Verh kind too, i wish them all the best ❤
Man we need to put more efforts into getting people educated in fields that actually have jobs. This show is very heartwarming and I wish them all the best so I'm not complaining but damn the thought of how *difficult* it is for some people is painful
Hayley brings the perfect amount of tough love, compassion, and truly believing in the individuals she is working with which is what gets them where they need to be. Inspiring!
This whole program is brilliant!! Hayley is just the person that countless thousands of young people really need. If I was running a program like this, I would insist that every applicant commit to completing a health education program. Nowadays people are totally ignorant about how to look after their health, and it is reflected in obesity, and absenteeism. Anyone out there agree with me????
Im a 30 year old male, so these shows dont usually do it for me. But every episode I've watched of this show with this lady, I've been routing for all of them from start to finish! What a beautiful programme. Too much scripted, drama reality crap nowadays. Hope all these ladies are still smashing it, the tasks on this were gruelling I couldnt have done the wearing a board in my local highstreet or stand on a stage talking about my self to millionaires like, that takes some absolute courage and strength.
Would love to know how Chelsea and Leigh-Ann are doing now? Really lovely girls, I honestly hope they've done brilliantly in life and they're really happy
Well done girls, you all brought tears to my eyes! It can be done. The very best for your futures! This is the future of our great nation! You are all examples to other people.
At first it seemed a bit abrasive. But they all went on to get jobs and seem happy so it shows the recruiter lady's approach worked. This seems like it was shot several years ago, I hope they are all doing well in the present day.
I can understand Chelsea. My mum and dad didn’t work while I was growing up, my mum was a housewife and my dad was too ill to work, they never really taught me how to look for work as they didn’t do it themselves. I didn’t even get my first job until I was 19 as I have Asperger’s syndrome so I struggle when it comes to phone calls and interviews. I’ve failed them so many times because I always mess up despite trying to prepare but they’re just too overwhelming for me. I worked at Tesco back in 2020 during lockdown and I really enjoyed it, I had to leave though as I was pregnant, I haven’t been back since as I’ve been raising my daughter but I don’t want her thinking that relying on benefits is normal because it’s not, I want to show her that you have to work for your money, but because of lack of childcare I feel like I can’t, she only goes to nursery one day a week and I don’t know what job that is gonna accommodate that as employers normally look for flexibility and reliability which I don’t have right now
Yeah, Sue really needs to push pass those boundaries to get through with the stress, no matter how much help she gets, it’s really up to her at the end to persevere and push pass those negative ‘I cannot do it’ attitude. Been there, done that.
This lady Hayley is doing some real good deeds. Job hunting is one of the hardest things to do, especially if you have been out of work force for a while. I have been there, and I totally understand all these women, but you will get it if you don't give up. One of my friends had sent out hundreds of resumes before she finally got a job in interior design area. I just want to say good luck to everyone that wants to work and live independently.
If your a single mum you have a variety of skills which can be used in the workplace such as being able to multi task, being organised, having patience, able to work under pressure and rise to a challenge, ability to time keep, work well with a routine, being flexible to change, an being able to use your own initiative.
@@ZoeDark-ed5ym They do, but when you peel back the layers, mums (good ones, anyway) will at least have those basic skills. It's not like the mum would be sat on her backside all day (again, the good ones wouldn't). That's why it's important for employers to at least give older single mums a chance, especially if they haven't been employed before or haven't been employed for a very long time.
What a pleasure in seeing people find themselves again. Hope is a good thing, probably the best of things, you just need to have a Hayley to point you in the right direction and understand that it's you that has to do the doing.
A deep but moving quote “ppl who are poorer materially are spritually stronger” I still feel cranky that my cousins have graduated, have more than a life I have, u babe it. At the same time there’s others who may have less than us
Walking around with those signs is a waste of time though - I'd probably walk off too If I was having to do that for 2 hours. Your time would be better spend improving your skills or getting training.
I think the point of the exercise was to test their patience and persistence. Hayley wasn’t expecting them to be magically offered a job by some passerby, that would be silly.
Single mum of five never had a job?! Raising five children on your own seems a heck of a job to me! The role of a parent, particularly a mother, is not valued in today’s materialistic culture, even though it’s the most important job in the world.
so... she brought 5 children into this world that other people have to pay for? the benefits does not come from a magical place in the sky, it comes from tax payers. so a person like me who chose not to have children because it is very expensive, has to pay for hers... sounds bizarre to me.
@@MsDrusilla666 OK, just one scenario. Maybe she was married for 3, 5 or 8 years and then the husband walked out, leaving her on her own with 5 children. Firstly, she didn't have to work and then she _couldn't_ work, with 5 young children. Now her youngest is 7 y.o. and she can go out to work. Maybe try looking at things from other points of view?
The ladies did well and I am so happy for them. I wish job interview techniques were taught either at school or in job centres - for all those who have no experience
Nobody made them do it. They signed up for this and are free to walk away or not turn up like one of the girls has already. Can’t have “me” attitude in the workplace.
They should be giving examples of their skills, not just saying "I'm a reliable team player", you could say anything in an interview but if you can't back it up with examples you can explain you won't get the job.
@@prochoicenotantivax119 Examples on how you are a team player, for example, need not just be drawn from work experience. Most skills are transferable. Anytime you have collaborated successfully with another human being in some way is relevant evidence of such a claim.
Hayley is doing a fantastic job. I kuv her confidence, ideas, excellent comm n presentan skills, n an great corporate image !! I want to take her as my role model!
It would be amazing for these type of employment classes to be provided in colleges and high schools along with life skills lessons. The economy would be a lot better. Not saying academia is pointless but if they also considered these types of lessons I really think the world would be a better place
I had a session of this at my school and that plus work experience helped MASSIVELY. I have worked since 16- part time while I was in full time education- and the longest I was unemployed was three months after graduating uni.
I was see delighted they are all enjoying their jobs. I think Dee has done the right thing getting back to work, her children will grow up and expecting a working life for themselves and can be proud of what she has done for them and is now doing for herself. The younger girls are fabulous and have so much potential that they can now fulfill. I feel sorry for Sue and fee that maybe a part time course in her local college or working a couple of mornings in a charity shop would be good for her at this point. She has a lot to offer and is too young to be home all day every day, but it was obvious she is still in a vulnerable situation and I am glad Hayley gave her space to cope with everything. I do hope feels able to take on something like a course or voluntary work as I think that would help build up her confidence and also give her some different experiences in her life. Good luck to all of them and well done Hayley.
I really hate it when moms on benefits are like "I stayed home with my child because I wanted to be there for all the important moments." Don't you think the rest of us do too?? Your money comes from other parents who have to work. Its just really thoughtless..
Glad i wasnt the only one thinking this. Kids want a working parent to aspire to and quality time rather than quantity. Its just an excuse. Im a working mum and i definitely could not sit at home all the time id lose my mind
@@elozzaa7456 you might lose your mind, but others possibly woupdnt. Yes the system has made it easy for women to stay home if they want to. And to be fair at least that woman won't feel guilt for missing out on things.
@@stillirise9705 lots of working mums feel guilt sat at home providing bare minimum and not providing better quality of life for children also. I personally enjoy part time work as get best of both worlds and still get quality time. So definitely depends on the persons perceptions. I do appreciate not everyone has the same support networks
@@elozzaa7456 that bit about support networks is true ove found. Childcare is so expensive, and if you're going out to work and still have to find extra money to provide that childcare I can't completely understand that does show for some their is no point, esp if you then struggle to feed your children.
@@stillirise9705 oh yeah definately! A friend of mine pays majority of her wages out in childcare just so she can still work there needs to be more support for people
The sandwich sign was unnecessary, completely humiliating. I wouldn’t of done it. It looked like punishment. Imagine the humiliation of seeing your mother or child in that position, there name written for all to see. That time would have been better spent making sensible job applications, handing out CVs and practicing for job interviews.
I agree. It was so degrading and I feel it was designed to shame them, the implication being that they haven't tried hard enough to find work. These people seemed to lack so much confidence, and public humiliation was the last thing they needed.
Yeah, I'm not sure why Hayley felt it necessary either. Just because it worked for that one lady doesn't mean it's going to help these 4 at all, especially when they're clearly uncomfortable. It's a good example to show them, but pointless to force them to do
Poor girl there was absolutely no need to tell Jeff in front of her she fancies him absolutely no point poor girl I would have ran away crying I thinj I dont think they would have give them the jobs if it wasn't on tv tbh, maybe first girl, but sorry not the other 2, fighting for a job is brutal there is so many people applying for one job,
I would have offered the 50 yr old the job...for sure...Dont mind about her age, or her lack of experience in that field , but she wants to make the customers smile...and THAT is 80 % of what customers really want
I really feel for Chelsea as I too was laid off from a previous job and spent a couple of months unemployed. Luckily I have the most amazing husband and family who were able to support me, but those two months were some of the worst in my life. My confidence hit rock bottom and I felt like I’d never be able to get another job. I did end up finding an opportunity quite quickly and I am very happy now!
I feel for Sue. I had a break down and spent 3 weeks in a mental hospital (post natal depression). I really only needed 2, but the last week was a confidence thing. I have been trying to get a job and ive been told 3 times that i need to get counselling instead of job searching...i thought i was better. When will i be better?
Holding signs in the street is humiliating. There are so many jobs advertised online that there's no justification for making the women look like fools.
5:35 I live in South Africa which is a 3rd world country and the economy is terrible. 37% unemployment rate and 67% Youth Unemployment rate and I am unemployed. I really feel the girls frustrations becuase honestly me and my friends who are also unemployed we all feel powerless, our manhood and confidence have been ripped away from us and the only thing we get is pressure from our peers and family's, well that's my story.
Not sure f any of these ladies will see this comment……………we’re all cheering you on, hi from Australia! What ever happens they’ve fought through this test
If anyone is struggling to get a job due to lack of experience this is what helped me through school and university to get my CV better. Don’t be put off if it’s voluntary unpaid positions just suck it up and do it it’s good for you to do them. * charity shops are almost always looking for people to help run the shops (this counts as retail experience) * I managed to shadow teachers and got to volunteer in an additional needs classroom (teaching + childcare experience) * I volunteered at soup kitchens and food banks (through this I got food hygiene and certificates for free) * homeless shelters (cleaning experience) * science museum centre volunteer (teaching experience)
I think Sue wanted a job, but she found the pressure of filling in CV's difficult and overwhelming. She would be better going into a part time job and just turning up at shops she would like to work at and ask if they are taking staff on.
I can understand how Sue feels; When you suffer depression your moods can be unpredictable and you don't know how you will feel from one day to the next. It makes one unreliable when seeking employment.
To say you should be on your way to a carreer at 23 I think is a bit judgemental. Everybody's circumstances are different. Some people just don't have the circumstances to have a carreer. And that is a fact.
Leanne sounds like someone who needed help when she was I'm primary school... then again during secondary... and again between 16 and 18... never got it... and us now completely alone stuck in a cycle of poor decisions
How did they all get their jobs and even land interviews so fast, they don't show the full struggle of finding a job because even people with experience struggle just to get interviews, my cousin who has a PHD has been looking to change jobs as a quant analyst for almost a year and is really struggling to get interviews let alone get the job
The show is over a decade old. Job market is different. Also they are going for entry level, low qualification type jobs which won't even entertain people with a degree because they know those people will move on as soon as poss
I wish them all the success in the world. They needed that confidence boost and they all sounded sincere and honest. I don't however like the idea of walking around with sign boards it is humiliating imo plus it could leave them open to propositions from some very unpleasant characters.
My way of thinking is along the same lines with this but since they're on TV I guess it's too late by the time they're walking around with a sandwich board on.
Now the staff at the DWP expect the unemployed to apply for everything and anything regardless of qualifications or ability to do the jobs after 1 month of specified job searches. I love the sandwich board idea though.If ever I become unemployed again I will definitely try it myself.

There is nothing better than receiving a job offer when you have been at rock bottom. I wish every success to all the ladies in the future!
It feels like scoring a date with a hot guy

Nor would the alleged "Fairy Jobmother". This show was designed to humiliate and demonise the unemployed. This whole stunt was beyond degrading.
Exactly . I bet the job mother never did that when she was looking for work .

I feel so sorry for Chelsè - she is such a sweet girl!
why do you feel sorry for her? She got the job
Jobmotheryr great we need more people like you x
I job hunted for 2 years every single day all day, and i mean 7 days a week from age 17 to 19 after i got paid off from my first job then just gave up altogether as its so easy done. Then looked for work for 1 week at age 20 and got a job. Its all about luck and timing, pure and simple! You have to have been there and tried it to know what i mean. And that was in 1990 and it was grim, really bad with no work at all as we were coming out of the 1980s plus my age was against me. I got a job at age 16 probably becouse i walked strait into the boss office with my overalls on? And he looked at me up and down from his desk and said "well at least your dressesd for it and very keen" and smiled while he said it. And that was before he even knew my name or anything about me, i just said is there any jobs going? And it worked. But now you cant even do that?? Why? What other way did people get jobs 30, 50, 70 years ago? I wanted him to see me in the flesh right there and then and already dressesd to start work, hard graft work, not with a nice white shirt and trousers on and black shoes as if am at a funeral. I went in basicly telling him that i was taken the job not asking him for it, and i think he knew it, but couldnt help but like it. Maybe i reminded him off himself when he was age 16. As i was quite tall as well for my age at 6ft. Wich also helps if its hard work and dirty, all my jobs have been dirty and hard. But now people are being punished from the state for not doing stuff that is just ridicoulas and if you do it then most will lie about what you SHOULDNT have did or what you didnt do just to stop there money. The system is built on targets and when that happens its just all about corruption and lies. Punishing people into starvation wont get them into work! And the crime rate is through the roof due to that. Its sickening. Thats why the women at age 54 had to leave the course, she just couldnt believe what she was being asked to do. And most of it is just pure nonesense. And she worked all of her adult life, but if it had been the old system the women would maybe have got a job. The system pushed her out of the course, and i noticed it was all kept quiet on the proggrame. Meaning they wouldnt show or discuss what she had to do? Or why she quit? She wanted a job but had to quit the course becouse it was all too complicated and deliberatly set up to be hard work. And that was some one who wanted to work? I am still trying to work that bit out??? Now its even more harder, much more harder! To the point where people cant even last 1 day. So there money stops! And how many women and men like her have had to quit courses while WANTING to work since then, becouse the systems designend to fail them. Not help them! The rules have changend so much since then that people have took there own lives. The system says get a job and do not ask for any help and while you try and get a job we will try and fault you at every turn then take your money from you. And if your good at looking for work then after 6 months we will just lie that you failed to do what we asked you to do then take your money! This is where the grey areas come in, and the system is doing nothing to address that or even look at that, it was through a jobclub a got a job after a week at age 20, but now all that or this has gone. It was a great thing to have back in 1993 becouse it was voluntary and the people there really did want a job or they wouldnt be there as they didnt have to be. But we did it our way and at our pace? And i got a job just after 1 week. But i couldnt get a job in 2 years trying every day. Now if we had to do it the way it is done now then i wouldnt have got that job after a week becouse we would all still be playing catch up and be maybe a few days behind becouse of none stop pathetic stuff that you have to do and all of it just pure rubbish, crap, that no one wants to see, especialy an employer. Then more objects put infront of you to over come and complete, and thats what it is an object. So by todays insane twisted system that job i got would have by passesd bye me just after a week as i wouldnt have even seen it let alone apply for it, as the system would have me completing all sorts of crap, like a 'to do list' then when thats done you will be told to do another 'to do list' then the next day another 'to do list' but put more stuff on your 'to do lists' 1,2 and 3 lists. As in what exactly? A man asked. He was told "thats up to you becouse in short this isnt good enough is it" so you are being told what to do but the person telling you doesnt or wouldnt even know what to do or write themselfs? Its like asking a painter to make a whisky barrel and the person asking or telling is just a civil servant? A mean thats what its come to. Too many private companys involved in the system for money and every one has a different way of how it should be done? With lots of money at the root of it as in millions then of course its going to be corrupt to the core and thats the nicer ones. Its like asking pablo escobar if his private company could do a better job.
she defo loves sweets
Bring back Hayley. The country needs her !!!!
So does us here in Australia
@@bell6012 I think everywhere needs a Hayley
Nah
Wow, all three of these ladies are an inspiration. Wish them all the luck in the world and I hope the lady that wasn’t ready will find her time will come soon. I thought she was lovely and just needs a bit more support.
I have to admit, if I had to walk around with a huge sign around my body for hours, I'd feel like a right Nob.
I would feel humiliated, it seemed like a punishment.
Hayley Taylor is a perfect candidate for a role model award. She is charismatic and engaging. A perfect role model for anyone. The results speak volumes well done Hayley xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ahhh, that was lovely.... I especially like the blonde mother at the restaurant interview.....I think that lovely smile and wanting to make the customers smile, is the most important part of that job... She will get the experience ....Good on you, girls ! Dont forget to appreciate Hayley, cos even though she can be a bit tough at times, she is on your side ...She's genuine
Chelsea is a lovely sweet natured girl , wish her all the best 💐
This was so heartwarming! So happy for the three ladies who persevered and got the jobs!
Wow Hayley. Honestly. Good on you. Showing the ladies whats out there, helping them build their confidence. I absolutely love what your doing. Well done you.
I'm just wondering if assessment is done on each person. Example. Self assessment form (where client fills out questions like, confidence, medical, mental health etc, problems relating to work like transport, can't work late nights etc... Education. From there the WORK BROKER (Hayley) can then have group meeting to see where each person is at. For example. Sue Riches need a med cert to state she if fit for work. Lianne also has issues with housing which really needs to be looked into. Can't get a job if you have no where to live. Dee has been a full time mum for decades so a course/study might be the best thing for her along with community work once a week to keep her confidence up. Something as simple as volunteer at a community store or something. Don't just throw people out here when they have no skills. This world doesn't work on "Transferable Skills".
What I am getting from Lianne isn't that shes applying for higher qualification jobs to feel better about herself. Rather to meet the quota for job search so she isn't sanctioned.
@@littledotti I completely agree, it is a waste of time the job centre forcing people to apply for roles that they are unsuitable for, better to improve the quality of the job applications and spend time doing that.
These girls are so amazing, it made me tearful. They way in which they were so honest about their situations and they were so lovely and likeable. Verh kind too, i wish them all the best ❤
Man we need to put more efforts into getting people educated in fields that actually have jobs. This show is very heartwarming and I wish them all the best so I'm not complaining but damn the thought of how *difficult* it is for some people is painful
Hayley brings the perfect amount of tough love, compassion, and truly believing in the individuals she is working with which is what gets them where they need to be. Inspiring!
Absolutely loved Dee! She had such class about her when she did the interview.
This was really uplifting. Lovely to see people who were insecure feeling more confident
This whole program is brilliant!! Hayley is just the person that countless thousands of young people really need. If I was running a program like this, I would insist that every applicant commit to completing a health education program. Nowadays people are totally ignorant about how to look after their health, and it is reflected in obesity, and absenteeism.
Anyone out there agree with me????
Im a 30 year old male, so these shows dont usually do it for me. But every episode I've watched of this show with this lady, I've been routing for all of them from start to finish! What a beautiful programme. Too much scripted, drama reality crap nowadays.
Hope all these ladies are still smashing it, the tasks on this were gruelling I couldnt have done the wearing a board in my local highstreet or stand on a stage talking about my self to millionaires like, that takes some absolute courage and strength.
If I had to wear those boards on the street, I would've been too tempted to write "The End Is Nigh!" on mine.😂
Would love to know how Chelsea and Leigh-Ann are doing now?
Really lovely girls, I honestly hope they've done brilliantly in life and they're really happy
Well done girls, you all brought tears to my eyes! It can be done. The very best for your futures! This is the future of our great nation! You are all examples to other people.
What a beautiful comment
At first it seemed a bit abrasive. But they all went on to get jobs and seem happy so it shows the recruiter lady's approach worked. This seems like it was shot several years ago, I hope they are all doing well in the present day.
I can understand Chelsea. My mum and dad didn’t work while I was growing up, my mum was a housewife and my dad was too ill to work, they never really taught me how to look for work as they didn’t do it themselves. I didn’t even get my first job until I was 19 as I have Asperger’s syndrome so I struggle when it comes to phone calls and interviews. I’ve failed them so many times because I always mess up despite trying to prepare but they’re just too overwhelming for me. I worked at Tesco back in 2020 during lockdown and I really enjoyed it, I had to leave though as I was pregnant, I haven’t been back since as I’ve been raising my daughter but I don’t want her thinking that relying on benefits is normal because it’s not, I want to show her that you have to work for your money, but because of lack of childcare I feel like I can’t, she only goes to nursery one day a week and I don’t know what job that is gonna accommodate that as employers normally look for flexibility and reliability which I don’t have right now
I had three jobs with three small children. You breed em you feed em. Your parents were lazy, you and your daughter are the next generation.
Your mum and dad sound like complete bums. Imagine having children, with no plan to be able to financially provide for them
The panel were really lovely , they gave them the positive feedback they needed
Every time I’ve had a job interview I always watch these and particularly the mock interviews to polish off my technique
I'm so happy for them and I hope sue is getting the help she needs
Yeah, Sue really needs to push pass those boundaries to get through with the stress, no matter how much help she gets, it’s really up to her at the end to persevere and push pass those negative ‘I cannot do it’ attitude.
Been there, done that.
She needs a structure and a job
The worst part of all of this is working a full time job on minimum wage you still couldn’t even afford to rent a basement room all bills included 😢
Benefits pay more than minimum wage. Its no wonder the system gets milked more than a cow fs !
Depends where you live tbh. London no, Southend probably could tbh.
@@scottwilson6467Depends who you are though tbh. With kids it does, single adults without disabilities it really doesn’t.
@@xcf5587 as a disabled mother it really does , If I started work I'd lose everything
@@xcf5587 Yes it does LCWRA = 727, PIP = 400-700, then housing benefit can be up to 600+ depending on area, that's more than min wage.
This lady Hayley is doing some real good deeds. Job hunting is one of the hardest things to do, especially if you have been out of work force for a while. I have been there, and I totally understand all these women, but you will get it if you don't give up. One of my friends had sent out hundreds of resumes before she finally got a job in interior design area.
I just want to say good luck to everyone that wants to work and live independently.
This was my guilty pleasure that I love watching.
I do wonder if these people shown in the episodes keep their jobs longer than then 3 mths.
@@123litera4 I know a few people got sacked and claimed right away, also know people who left work due to childcare issues and claimed right away,
If your a single mum you have a variety of skills which can be used in the workplace such as being able to multi task, being organised, having patience, able to work under pressure and rise to a challenge, ability to time keep, work well with a routine, being flexible to change, an being able to use your own initiative.
Work places aren't interested in that.They want CVS .
@@ZoeDark-ed5ym They do, but when you peel back the layers, mums (good ones, anyway) will at least have those basic skills. It's not like the mum would be sat on her backside all day (again, the good ones wouldn't). That's why it's important for employers to at least give older single mums a chance, especially if they haven't been employed before or haven't been employed for a very long time.
@@waterhot80 I hear you but work places are still not interested.
I’ve just been to a interview now today and I asked the correct questions and it went ok !
How are things now?
I watched this series the first time round and I’m sat here crying with happiness again for these ladies! Amazing and inspirational programme 🥰
You're sad
What an emotional weakling.
So happy for all of them! Haley is just lovely and amazing
Waitressing can be tiring even when you're young, I'm glad Dee enjoyed it!
She looked to be absolutely glowing in that shot taken after two months.
Made me so happy to see Lianne's smile at the end!
What a pleasure in seeing people find themselves again. Hope is a good thing, probably the best of things, you just need to have a Hayley to point you in the right direction and understand that it's you that has to do the doing.
A deep but moving quote “ppl who are poorer materially are spritually stronger”
I still feel cranky that my cousins have graduated, have more than a life I have, u babe it. At the same time there’s others who may have less than us
I'm so pleased for these ladies pity that sue didn't feel she was ready cos I'm sure she would have found employment to good luck to you all
Walking around with those signs is a waste of time though - I'd probably walk off too If I was having to do that for 2 hours. Your time would be better spend improving your skills or getting training.
I think the point of the exercise was to test their patience and persistence. Hayley wasn’t expecting them to be magically offered a job by some passerby, that would be silly.
The point is putting them outside and out of theirs comfort job ... also talking with people, marketing youself and trying to convince them
Better to be handing CVs out then really. No point being patient and persistent at something which has such a low chance of success.
I know that at the end of the day it's a telly programme so having them walking around with signs is probably more entertaining
@@melitajay the point was about building confidence nothing to do with physically getting a job
Single mum of five never had a job?! Raising five children on your own seems a heck of a job to me! The role of a parent, particularly a mother, is not valued in today’s materialistic culture, even though it’s the most important job in the world.
Well we don’t know her story but if she has been single for all her kids life then it’s her fault
so... she brought 5 children into this world that other people have to pay for? the benefits does not come from a magical place in the sky, it comes from tax payers. so a person like me who chose not to have children because it is very expensive, has to pay for hers... sounds bizarre to me.
She had 5 kids and and not take responsibility for them. Awful.
@@MsDrusilla666 OK, just one scenario. Maybe she was married for 3, 5 or 8 years and then the husband walked out, leaving her on her own with 5 children. Firstly, she didn't have to work and then she _couldn't_ work, with 5 young children. Now her youngest is 7 y.o. and she can go out to work. Maybe try looking at things from other points of view?
@@danasirkin5063I’m not sure how it is all her fault. Perhaps you could explain. Thanks
Fantastic work at the interview stage. They all came so far
Well done ladies , you are an inspiration.
Barry or dave 😂
The ladies did well and I am so happy for them. I wish job interview techniques were taught either at school or in job centres - for all those who have no experience
Careers Education is mandatory in schools now and the old style job centre is no more with better community job support.
Making them wear sandwich boards is degrading and humiliating
This whole thing is grotesque, I see it too.
I agree I wouldn't do it no fuking way
Nobody made them do it. They signed up for this and are free to walk away or not turn up like one of the girls has already. Can’t have “me” attitude in the workplace.
Idk not really. It’s unique and nobody would see it as embarrassing but as brave and hard working
I wouldn't never I'd feel very degraded
Amazing lad helping these ladies get back to work. Love you for that.
Who's the lad?
@@fern1416 lol.. Dont be naughty....He forgot the y on lady
Lad means a boy.... I think you meant lady...Just the y was missing ...smiles
They should be giving examples of their skills, not just saying "I'm a reliable team player", you could say anything in an interview but if you can't back it up with examples you can explain you won't get the job.
Well, funnily enough, they all DID get the jobs and look very happy
If they have never worked there not gonna have examples
@@prochoicenotantivax119 Examples on how you are a team player, for example, need not just be drawn from work experience. Most skills are transferable. Anytime you have collaborated successfully with another human being in some way is relevant evidence of such a claim.
STAR METHOD
Well, we only saw a couple of minutes of each interview - I'm sure they gave a lot more detail.
Hayley is doing a fantastic job. I kuv her confidence, ideas, excellent comm n presentan skills, n an great corporate image !! I want to take her as my role model!
Well done ladies you smashed it!
A hat trick.....what a cracking result......I wish them all the very best, also the lady who pulled out. Hayley should be truly valued.
It would be amazing for these type of employment classes to be provided in colleges and high schools along with life skills lessons. The economy would be a lot better. Not saying academia is pointless but if they also considered these types of lessons I really think the world would be a better place
I had a session of this at my school and that plus work experience helped MASSIVELY. I have worked since 16- part time while I was in full time education- and the longest I was unemployed was three months after graduating uni.
In Australia after 2 or 3 years with patchy employment you have to go to classes like this
I would love a new series of this
Ooh Chelsea it's okay your lovely❣All you girls are worth so much you just forgot your value 😘 Irish love and congratulations I roared crying.
I was see delighted they are all enjoying their jobs. I think Dee has done the right thing getting back to work, her children will grow up and expecting a working life for themselves and can be proud of what she has done for them and is now doing for herself. The younger girls are fabulous and have so much potential that they can now fulfill. I feel sorry for Sue and fee that maybe a part time course in her local college or working a couple of mornings in a charity shop would be good for her at this point. She has a lot to offer and is too young to be home all day every day, but it was obvious she is still in a vulnerable situation and I am glad Hayley gave her space to cope with everything. I do hope feels able to take on something like a course or voluntary work as I think that would help build up her confidence and also give her some different experiences in her life. Good luck to all of them and well done Hayley.
Thanks to Haley's help and support these lady's have got work .....well done 😄😊
I really hate it when moms on benefits are like "I stayed home with my child because I wanted to be there for all the important moments." Don't you think the rest of us do too?? Your money comes from other parents who have to work. Its just really thoughtless..
Glad i wasnt the only one thinking this. Kids want a working parent to aspire to and quality time rather than quantity. Its just an excuse. Im a working mum and i definitely could not sit at home all the time id lose my mind
@@elozzaa7456 you might lose your mind, but others possibly woupdnt. Yes the system has made it easy for women to stay home if they want to. And to be fair at least that woman won't feel guilt for missing out on things.
@@stillirise9705 lots of working mums feel guilt sat at home providing bare minimum and not providing better quality of life for children also. I personally enjoy part time work as get best of both worlds and still get quality time. So definitely depends on the persons perceptions. I do appreciate not everyone has the same support networks
@@elozzaa7456 that bit about support networks is true ove found.
Childcare is so expensive, and if you're going out to work and still have to find extra money to provide that childcare I can't completely understand that does show for some their is no point, esp if you then struggle to feed your children.
@@stillirise9705 oh yeah definately! A friend of mine pays majority of her wages out in childcare just so she can still work there needs to be more support for people
Sue is a fragile lady, bless her
The sandwich sign was unnecessary, completely humiliating. I wouldn’t of done it. It looked like punishment. Imagine the humiliation of seeing your mother or child in that position, there name written for all to see. That time would have been better spent making sensible job applications, handing out CVs and practicing for job interviews.
Yeah true i think they’d di better finding jobs
I agree. It was so degrading and I feel it was designed to shame them, the implication being that they haven't tried hard enough to find work. These people seemed to lack so much confidence, and public humiliation was the last thing they needed.
Yeah, I'm not sure why Hayley felt it necessary either. Just because it worked for that one lady doesn't mean it's going to help these 4 at all, especially when they're clearly uncomfortable. It's a good example to show them, but pointless to force them to do
It was designed to test their resolve.
Having that woman parade around in a sandwich board was humiliating.
Good
Heartwarming and inspiring series. I rejoice and ter up when they are given a 2nd chance!
Poor girl there was absolutely no need to tell Jeff in front of her she fancies him absolutely no point poor girl I would have ran away crying I thinj
I dont think they would have give them the jobs if it wasn't on tv tbh, maybe first girl, but sorry not the other 2, fighting for a job is brutal there is so many people applying for one job,
I think it was lovely telling Jeff...He was VERY pleased and flirted back....she might get herself a bf as well as a job
I would have offered the 50 yr old the job...for sure...Dont mind about her age, or her lack of experience in that field , but she wants to make the customers smile...and THAT is 80 % of what customers really want
Really find this interesting
I really feel for Chelsea as I too was laid off from a previous job and spent a couple of months unemployed. Luckily I have the most amazing husband and family who were able to support me, but those two months were some of the worst in my life. My confidence hit rock bottom and I felt like I’d never be able to get another job. I did end up finding an opportunity quite quickly and I am very happy now!
Well done to the girls. Leanne especially given her situation..
I feel for Sue. I had a break down and spent 3 weeks in a mental hospital (post natal depression). I really only needed 2, but the last week was a confidence thing.
I have been trying to get a job and ive been told 3 times that i need to get counselling instead of job searching...i thought i was better.
When will i be better?
Who told you that you need counselling?
I wish they brought these sort of programs back
Holding signs in the street is humiliating. There are so many jobs advertised online that there's no justification for making the women look like fools.
Agreed
5:35 I live in South Africa which is a 3rd world country and the economy is terrible. 37% unemployment rate and 67% Youth Unemployment rate and I am unemployed. I really feel the girls frustrations becuase honestly me and my friends who are also unemployed we all feel powerless, our manhood and confidence have been ripped away from us and the only thing we get is pressure from our peers and family's, well that's my story.
And you do Xenophobia to fellow Africans who do better than you.Karma is a b.
And no benifits in SA
So many people with children they can’t afford... where is the foresight?
Not sure f any of these ladies will see this comment……………we’re all cheering you on, hi from Australia! What ever happens they’ve fought through this test
Rowan....what a loving, encouraging comment... Greetings to you in Australia, from Europe
Watching Lianne in the interview, yes Miss Thing!!! You better work!✨✨✨✨🤸♀️🤸♀️
Aw chelsé is so lovely
I went to south Essex college! So weird seeing it on TV 😂
Chelsea is lovely girl, hope she doing well
If anyone is struggling to get a job due to lack of experience this is what helped me through school and university to get my CV better. Don’t be put off if it’s voluntary unpaid positions just suck it up and do it it’s good for you to do them.
* charity shops are almost always looking for people to help run the shops (this counts as retail experience)
* I managed to shadow teachers and got to volunteer in an additional needs classroom (teaching + childcare experience)
* I volunteered at soup kitchens and food banks (through this I got food hygiene and certificates for free)
* homeless shelters (cleaning experience)
* science museum centre volunteer (teaching experience)
Hayley should be running the job centre from the top down.
I think Sue wanted a job, but she found the pressure of filling in CV's difficult and overwhelming. She would be better going into a part time job and just turning up at shops she would like to work at and ask if they are taking staff on.
That girl saying they use really posh words to confuse you 🤣what like EMPLOYED 😂
They’ve all done incredibly well. I hope Sue is ok.
I can understand how Sue feels; When you suffer depression your moods can be unpredictable and you don't know how you will feel from one day to the next. It makes one unreliable when seeking employment.
Yes I hope she got into some self employed work, that seems to be best suitable for her @@gillianbrookwell1678
To say you should be on your way to a carreer at 23 I think is a bit judgemental. Everybody's circumstances are different. Some people just don't have the circumstances to have a carreer. And that is a fact.
Yes, that’s what I thought, too. There must be a underlining issue in her history
Plenty of jobs offer no career.
It’s not. It’s a thought she was sharing… and a thought that makes sense at that…
I thought it was judgemental as well.
Dee has been a housewife it's hard i was widowed at 29 with 3 girls.
I hope it worked for her!
Well done to the 3 ladies.
It is ridiculous that I pay 40% tax for a mother of 5. Where is the father to support her kids?
Same here , if they’re too thick to take contraception then don’t pay em benefits
Leanne sounds like someone who needed help when she was I'm primary school... then again during secondary... and again between 16 and 18... never got it... and us now completely alone stuck in a cycle of poor decisions
Dee is so amazing and she has help me change my life
So inspirational and fantastic working standards
I'm a long term ESA claimant therefore interested in any series (even if critical) about benefits, I was looking for these episodes.
How did they all get their jobs and even land interviews so fast, they don't show the full struggle of finding a job because even people with experience struggle just to get interviews, my cousin who has a PHD has been looking to change jobs as a quant analyst for almost a year and is really struggling to get interviews let alone get the job
The show is over a decade old. Job market is different. Also they are going for entry level, low qualification type jobs which won't even entertain people with a degree because they know those people will move on as soon as poss
I wish them all the success in the world. They needed that confidence boost and they all sounded sincere and honest. I don't however like the idea of walking around with sign boards it is humiliating imo plus it could leave them open to propositions from some very unpleasant characters.
My way of thinking is along the same lines with this but since they're on TV I guess it's too late by the time they're walking around with a sandwich board on.
they need a kickup the arse
Very well said Jean.!
Well done all of you. Hayley well done to you a Star a Angel.
Chelse is great, bless her
Omg got totes emosh for there panel interview thingy fair play to them n well done to hayley 😊❤
Hayley rules. Well done ladies
I’m disappointed that she did not help them to look more professional ….it’s about how u present yourself!
Now the staff at the DWP expect the unemployed to apply for everything and anything regardless of qualifications or ability to do the jobs after 1 month of specified job searches. I love the sandwich board idea though.If ever I become unemployed again I will definitely try it myself.
Chelsea is such a sweet, articulate girl 💛
