If you're not applying for anything specific, then you just need to write about yourself in brief and key skills that you think would benefit the company basically....Organisational skills / presentation / attention to detail etc
Hah, cheers man
I've emailed a few local repair companies that are local, but I got nothing back sadly.
Consigliere
Oh ok, nice one
I'm kinda looking for 8 hours a day sadly
Well, i'm still at University so have the benefit of a good student loan as 'home' is 60 miles away. This thread is really starting to make me worry though. 
Hah, cheers man
That also reflects on my inadequacy rather than just your own credentials.
Send a letter, more chance of getting noticed that way, follow up with a phone call as well perhaps.
Still nothing here. Only the 1 interview in 3 months and running out of money fast....It's like the companies want super worker with 100 years experience just to get an interview!! My Cv isn't awful and shows i can stick with a company and work my way up but it just doesn't help. Cant even get a job picking up **** it's that bad
Actually I'd really appreciate that; drop me an email in trust and I'll reply to you so you have my address.
I've got "specific" applications, as it were, down to a T, but have no idea about speculative ones.
Cheers

Can't be as bad as the London area surely?
As for money, I know people on here seem to think its evil, but you can apply via Jobcentre Plus for social fund loans\grants depending on your circumstances... are you renting privately somewhere?
Well, depends when you finish uni?
Market may have picked up again by then.living with my uncle temporarily (perm at this rate :/) so i'm not entitled to anything as he is a family member, allthough he cant support me in anyway or let me off rent
Swindon has been quite badly hit as there are a lot of companies that have let people go, but i'm trying to move to Bristol and so i'm applying there too but i'm still not getting anywhere. Hopefully something will come about, just need interviews to actually have the chance to show people what i can do instead of not having a chance to sell myself.

You're entitled to JSA if you're out of work or working less than 16 hours a week. You're also entitled to a £400 social fund loan, interest-free, after 26 weeks of claiming JSA. Claim what you're legally entitled to because you will get raped for taxes later if you haven't been already
Your CV is supposed to be selling yourself enough to get you the interview, perhaps it needs some tweaks? Not putting yourself in the best possible light? Keep in mind that not everything relevant has to come from work experience alone. Other than that its just a numbers game and trying to establish some business contacts.
Oh i'm on JSA allready, just cant get housing benefit due to the stupid reason of living with my uncle.
I've had my Cv looked at by a few people that know what they're talking about but i think i'm just having bad luck, the numbers game as you put it. All my previous jobs bar one has been through knowing people but no such luck this time.
Just got another email turning me down as i was writing this!!
Oh well i shall keep plugging away!

Well if you're wanting to move its worth looking into what schemes the council offers for deposits.
Yup, usually how you get the best jobs. Anyway, ignore my earlier negativity, keep on it
Unlucky buddy
Don't be too disheartened, take the time to spice up your CV and the like
What were you doing before then?
Cheers guys, I was working in credit control. It's an apparently recession proof job as businesses will inevitably always need money to be paid correctly and on time but the company I was working for had taken a dive in the last year or so.
It's definitely not something I want a career in so I can't say I'm massively disappointed, but the convenience of walking to and from work, particularly in Central London was a massive bonus. I saved hundreds of £ on transport costs which was a major plus for me as I am planning on travelling next year.
I need to re-write my C.V. Any pointers on where to start?
Yep, unless you get the horn when you read about advertising sales there's not much out there!
