Jobs are the main conversation these days... especially for 3rd years graduating in the next couple months. So much so that university work seems behind me already, I submitted an essay today and have 4 exams to study for; but all I think about is what job will I have.
How far is one to go to get a job? I've applied for a vast number of jobs from technical assistant to sales manager and even to government jobs. Do I want to 'sell my soul to the devil' and become a salesperson? That is a joke by the way, hopefully any salesperson with a decent sense of humour will understand. Do I want to work in an office? Five years ago I wanted to work for a charity and help people in Africa.... now I want a safe life for myself and my fiancee, why the change?
When you look for a job, go to job seeking websites like monster.com or reed.co.uk, I put my CV on them last week on Monday night and by Tuesday morning I had a response. On Thursday I had a telephone interview and on the next Tuesday I was on a train down to London for an interview. I didn't get it but was very lucky to have such a fast response. Now I've applied for jobs in business development, nothing in finance, a few jobs in IT, and one in government... which I applied for 5 minutes ago in fact.
My fingers are crossed, but the application process can take up to a year. One thing is for sure: I've never looked at a job and thought 'YES YES YES'... fingers crossed.
