Is anyone else looking for work at the moment and finding it incredibly frustrating? I'm a graduate and have been promised the earth by the Uni and the government but atm I'm not even getting news back from applications let alone interviews!
ex is having the same issues, she's had god knows how many interviews, and the majority of the have told her she's "overqualified" tomorrow she gets to stop traffic and survey them in Portsmouth somewhere, so if any of you southerners are stopped on your way somewhere, be polite lol, she's taken the only job she could get, and it's a one day only thing too :/
she got offered an interview with one company looking for graduates, and it turns out they're just a massive pyramid scheme, Co & Co is the company, aka "powerhouse" but just a massive dodgy con of door to door selling :/
I recently got kicked back from one place for being overqualified for a 1stline support job... I've got 12months as a Uni work placement but I don't have enough experience for second line? How can I win?
I've rang a few places back and they've said basically that the position had been filled. I swear I'm on about 10 recruitment websites.
Sorry to hear that buddy, by the way how's the Microsoft job going?
/OT - did you get MSN working?
Did you build up any contacts while in university? Networking seems to be the way into the job 80% of the time..
I'm working in Asda atm which has been part time for 7 years+. Been applying for all tech support jobs I've come across. It's just so frustrating, cant even get interviews for the jobs I don't want! Don't suppose anyone has vacancies going where they work?Go for any role in the field you're interested in, try not to be picky about pay, obviously don't sell yourself short, but you may have to set aside some ideas about jumping into a great job/salary straight after Uni. Once you've got a couple of years experience in the field you're persuing then things should be easier.
well I've not heard from them, so I'm expecting I'll be starting on the latter end of the time scale they gave me, which is end of Nov/beginning of Dec, so nearly a year since the actually offered me the job :/
but anyway, when I was job searching or myself, it certainly wasn't easy, companies in my field only want the best, they don't want to waste time and money training people, getting them to speed, so if your work isn't as good as their current team, you've no chance, hence me starting from the very bottom and working upwards, when I get the chance :/

Thanks for all the advice, I find it amazing that someone who want to work for a living can't seem to get a job for love nor money atm. It might be easier on the dole (not that I would) but you can see why people might.
