DESPERATE Martin Hadfield wanted just one thing – a job. Any job. In just 12 weeks, the 20-year-old, from Greenock, applied for around 40 – without success. And eventually he was left so demoralised he took his own life, an inquest heard.
Despite being unemployed for months, proud Martin refused to accept state handouts.
His family claim he was being undercut on wages by younger and less experienced candidates and most of his job applications failed to get even a courteous response.
They say the qualified gardener felt "put down with no self-worth". And just 24 hours after yet another session with job centre staff, Martin was found dead at his flat.

"It led to people being stitched-up on a daily basis.
