My name is Robert Bruce, I’m the founder of P45camp UK and I want to launch P45camp at Newbury. Why? Because I am local and I am out of work.

If you were told to pack up your personal belongings because your job was made redundant or if you were unfairly dismissed you qualify to be a P45camper. What is a P45camper? It is a common monicker or denominator for all of those people in UK who have received their P45 thanks to the banks and greedy stockbrokers creating the worst global recession so far this century.

As a P45camper you probably spend a large part of your day at the Job Centre or camping online at recruitment & jobsearch websites, refining your CV to match a job spec, setting up new job searches, waiting and hoping that your phone will ring with an interview date for a new job, or praying that your dream job that perfectly matches your experience, skills and talents will be among those published online each day.

It is tough. Very stressful and extremely difficult on your family too. And maybe now you could do with some support from people in the same situation as you.

P45camp is a free event for out of work people aimed at providing you a chance to connect with potential employers, local entrepreneurs, recruitment agency staff and affiliated specialists for help with writing your killer CV, launching your jobsearch campaign, guidance on interview techniques and also receive free advice on insurance and importantly, how to manage your finances in the recession and how to plan, create & live on a very tight budget.

P45camp is also where you can get a great chance to form or join a local network of unemployed people from Newbury and surrounding villages.

But first, the event needs to be planned and organised. So, if you would like to help organise the Newbury P45camp or are a local business wanting to hire skilled & talented people, an entrepreneur who can inspire us to start our own businesses or if you represent the recruitment industry wanting to find local candidates for jobs, you are welcome to attend an informal meet-up at Costa Coffee, Northbrook St, Newbury on Thursday 18th June 2009 at 11:30am. Or you can contact me at robert@p45camp.com or call me on my mobile +44 (0)77 6767 2121 for further information.

If you just want to arrive, search me out. I’ll be there with a P45camp poster.

I hope to meet you at Costa's this coming Thursday from 11:30am

Perhaps "camp" wasn't the best choice of words for this organisation.

Many thanks for responding to my post. I appreciate it.

If in your opinion P45camp was not the best choice of names can you tell us what would be better in your view? The background to creating the name is based on the P45 we all get from employers and 'camp' because of the time people have to spend online 'camping' at recruitment websites. To me it was a simple matter of putting the two together and that was it.

It is simple. Short and easy to remember.

I welcome any suggestions for improvement and offers of assistance to plan the event.

Kind regards

Robert Bruce

P45 Camp sounds very much like an American style Summer Camp and let's not go into another meaning of the word.

If you wanted to keep the American feel you could call it Java & Jobs or Joe & Jobs as the Americans sometime refer to coffee as Java or Joe.
