Anyone else really fed up at the moment?

I am incredibly fed up at the moment. I have been in my job for around 18 months now and I am beginning to realise it isn't for me. It SHOULD be, but because I am in sales I bloody hate it. All I know is sales, I feel stuck :(

Sorry, I am so tired I couldn't be bothered to elaborate. I work in sales and account management for a web design agency. I deal with awesome brands and stuff, I love t'internet, design, and the web, so I should enjoy it....

But I am just fed up of targets and proposals and blah blah blah same old crap :(
As I am sure most people are this time of year.
 
Hehe, no worries :p

Ever thought about trying to get into the web design part a bit more? OR would you not want to do that.

After hearing how much everyone in the studio moans, not really :p

I did study Graphic Design (only to HND level) and I am into photography and stuff for my 'arty' fix, if you can call it that.

The problem is, I didn't go to Uni, and I don't know what I want to do. I am such a miserable git sometimes when I think about this kind of stuff!

I still don't know what I want to be doing matey ;) So I wouldn't worry...not many people do.
 
This year has been terrible for me so far. One piece of bad luck after another.

Plus i'm searching for a part time job atm (still a student) and nobody at all is getting back to me for the places i'm applying for. Its very frustrating.

That's happening for everyone sadly...even for full time work :)

I'm quite lucky I've just landed this job I'm starting next week! Thought I was never going to be in work again =/

This is the longest i've been unemployed in a long long time. The thing is i'm applying for quite a few places that are advertising but nobody at all is getting back to me. I have good experience and my CV is fairly well presented, so I don't know what kind of geniuses they want to work in the average shop part time.

Congrats on your job too! Hopefully my luck will turn.

Thanks :)

Yeah, people just don't even bother replying nowadays...it is annoying.

I hope you're luck turns anyway!
 
Times are tough, but you have to strive in order to find a good job. Be glad you made it through uni, just work hard to find that job and don't stop until you have it.
 
I'm alright, work wise. I get the arseache sometimes with my job like everyone does, but then I remind myself that my job's not too alright, the money's reasonable, and most of all I'm secure in it, so I keep my chin up. If times were different I'd be on more of a lookout for a new job, but as it is, I'm not moving. Nuh uh.
 
get a TESOL/CELTA qualification and go and teach english somewhere abroad. asia is crying out for ESL teachers

I did a HND in IT, garbage, I though you was in GD from your site, I would hate to be in sales, I went back to college in September, managed to get onto C&C plumbing course, I am loving it and I think I have found my calling, my dad was a joiner and is a cable jointer for BT I have a technical side I can find my way around a PC and a Network but I never felt it was right for me and didnt want to go to UNI to study IT.

I am going to go for it in plumbing I am well ahead in my class and have passed every exam so far and was even told I am the best student in my class which was uplifting. I will go for Level 3 and beyond.

I had to have a government style bailout from my parents last week but I will be paying every penny back felt really low last week but parents where understandable and did not want me to feel down, I have cut back on spending to a point I don't buy anything bar alcohol at the weekend, I am giving that up so basically I wont have anything to enjoy which is what I think I need, I cant even claim any benefits which is sickening since I have worked for 7 years until Oct and my mother doesn't work after Gwazi ruined her back and my dad had a heart attack in Dec and he is going back to work in March but I live at home and we all have a great bonding.

My god, is life after Uni really this depressing for twentysomethings these days.

If you think it's hard now - just wait till you have a family, major debts, less energy and sick/elderly parents & not many job prospects on top of that - then you really will know what problems (and fed-up feelings) really are ;)

Life is what you make it ladies/gents. And it surely isn't as bad as you are making out. It certainly doesn't get any easier as you get older for the majority of people anyway - so you better get used to it.

Be thankful you weren't born into a slum area of India or Meixco or even Africa.
