Forgot how bad job searching was :(

Woot! Just saw this thread (yeah, don't come into GD so much) and just thought I'd post that after nigh on 4 months of searching I have be offered (and accepted) a new job! Very awesome.

Quit my job a year and a half ago to go travelling, and have been looking for a job since I got back. Was really getting into the despair stage and nearly began to regret ever resigning.

Start on Monday! Now I just have to start looking for a new place to live! Commuting to work for the first time in 1 year and 7 months is going to be tough!

Thanks mate, still on a high to be honest :)

I'm a software engineer - so I'll be doing application development (mostly in Java) for a geoscience technology company. Geoscience is a new field for me - so gonna be a LOT to learn quickly to get up to speed! :)

Had a LOT of recruitment people contact me regarding positions while I was looking. Some were really good and seemed to know their business, others clearly hadn't even bothered to read my CV. This position came to me from a recruiter though who was really good - so I am very happy with the position, and glad that he gets paid too.
 
So I've finished Uni for good today.

Hoping to get a 2:1 or maybe just maybe scrape a 1st in BSc (Hons) Business Information Tech, although I have no previous experience, and very limited work experience, so I've shot myself in the foot a bit there. Been looking at IT support jobs but I don't know if I'd be good enough, don't know what I'm going to do I'd hate to have to get a job shelve stacking but might have to.

Sadly the last thing I overclocked was my AMD X2 :o :( So doubt I'd be a good candidate

Nothing a spot of reading up on new tech wouldnt sort if you are right minded.

I know a few of the guys at Asus UK and a keen will to learn goes a long way.

From what I understand clocking new chips etc is WAY easier than the old stuff anyway.

Again mate you never know until you give things a try. a lot of the people at Asus UK are very friendly. I for one actually know the chap who will be interviewing you (most likley) and he is a nice, easy to get along with guy.

Sending in a C.V wouldnt hurt ;)

Update: Managed to get a full time job as a Sales Associate at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. I love Greenwich and Science and History so I will enjoy it. The contract ends in September so I'll have to try hard to impress them.
 
Just rejected another 2 month extension for my current job.
Sitting on public transport for 3 hours a day is wearing thin...

No job to go to, will soon be joining the unemployment massive!

Pro: Chance of finding job near home. Can catch up on some gaming!
Neg: Ever increasing lack of funds, leading to poverty and doom.
