Here's a website I found that you may want to check out:

http://www.prospects.ac.uk/cms/ShowPage/Home_page/p!eLaXi


It's a graduate job website, so you'd need some school. But it might point you in the right direction.

Oh yeah, prospects, i joined up to that when i was at uni almost a year ago. Strangely did not find one job suitable on it lol. I kept putting local (Aberdeen) in search and was getting jobs up for London and Manchester and stuff. I'm not a huge fan of it lol.

At the minute you just got to apply for everything under the sun and hope you get lucky, it's a bad bad time to be unemployed. Luck is important.

Apply for jobs really is like a law of averages!

Luckily for me in my profession (when I'm fully qualified) I'll be some what of a commodity so I might have a better choice of jobs.

MMT - I finish my contract with the Uni in August, only work for them part-time as it fits in with my course and pays well. I have to say it's a lovely (ooer) place to work! Best of luck with getting a job there, if you succeed you'll have to let me know, be more than happy to show you about the place, although it's a small campus!

Cheers for the link katie but i cant afford to put myself through any full time education, i had a look and quick search and experienced similar to what col mentions.....lol

John- If you can put in a good word for me, you can show me round the campus then get drunk for free

I have actually got a family friend (who i dont really know) working where im at now who reckons he can get me in a different department in the next few weeks on £28k a year, so im definitly going to stick it out if i cant get a different job!

Im off out to Brum for a drink now but any other thoughts ill respond to in the morning! Cheers for the help so far everyone!

How has this gone for you mate found anything?

No mate, settled in a bit more at work now, found a couple of other things to do when my work for the day is done! The money helps with the boredom after a while

Still looking for new jobs but mainly looking specifically for a course I can do around work, maybe at college....looking to do an electrician course or plumbing....

Setting up an interview with West Nottinghamshire College who have a great prospectus of courses, bit out of my way but if i get a good course/qualification out of it around work im happy!
