EMPLOYMENT

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

"This post is about "Employment", which follows our first post on "Budgeting", & the second on "Tenancy" where rent accounts for at least 40% of your expenditure. Finding employment that enables you to cover your costs is incredibly important. We hope this post will help you.
