I was made redundent from the job I had from leaving school (16ish years) at the end of November last year. I spent a lot of time looking at job websites, agency websites, vacancy sections of companies I fancied working for, plus local newspapers and jobcentreplus website.
I saw the job that I am doing now advertised on several agency websites, so I initially applied through them, only to be told I was not suited, which was a joke, as it was basically the same job I had been doing, only with slightly different equipment. Then I went to the companies website, and emailed my CV, as well as sending a written application by post. I received a letter from the company telling me I was not suited, which made me feel pretty gutted, although by this time I had already been offered another job. Then about 3 weeks before I was due to start the other job, I had an email inviting me for an interview, and the rest is history...
