Job hunting and running a business share a common struggle; despite effort, visibility, and determination, opportunities remain scarce. The case of Joe Emery highlights the reality that many people face: endless applications, countless rejections, and a system that seems blind to the human toll of unemployment. Businesses, particularly disabled entrepreneurs, mirror this struggle, working tirelessly yet seeing minimal returns.
Attending an internal interview is a legitimate part of your employment and, in most cases, should not result in a loss of pay or forced time off in lieu.

In many UK workplaces, employees are expected to work an 8-hour day, yet only receive payment for 7 of those hours due to an unpaid break. While this practice is legally permissible under the Working Time Regulations 1998, it raises serious questions about fairness, autonomy, and potential human rights violations, especially when employers go a step further and dictate what an employee can or cannot do during their unpaid time.
Job hunting can be an emotional rollercoaster. For many applicants, it’s not just about career advancement, it’s about survival, stability, and dignity. Yet far too often, candidates are left in the dark, ignored for months or indefinitely “ghosted” after investing time, energy, and hope into their application.

Breaking into the workforce without experience is challenging, but not impossible. By showcasing transferable skills, gaining experience through alternative means, networking, and demonstrating a willingness to learn, job seekers can overcome this hurdle.

The key to success lies in perseverance, creativity, and strategic job-seeking approaches.
The government’s proposed benefit reforms are not just a bureaucratic shift—they are a direct attack on the dignity, autonomy, and survival of disabled people. By making it harder to claim PIP and coercing individuals into unsuitable work, these policies will lead to a national crisis, affecting not just the disabled community but the economy, healthcare system, and society as a whole. It is time for disabled individuals, advocacy groups, and legal professionals to unite and challenge these injustices before they become irreversible.
