It is seriously hard to find work at the moment.
I left my crappy minimum wage shop job back in August so I could go explore Europe and Morocco for a month, and I had a great time, very much worth doing.
Now I'm back I figure hey, time to move on from minimum wage retail and get myself a half decent job so I can at leats move out from living with my mum/brother (27 now...it's about time...and no girlfriend to stay round hers all the time anymore).
But it's so damn hard to find jobs to apply for! Let alone actually get an interview!
I'm mostly lookign at admin, custoemr service and hospital type jobs. Ok so my experiance is retail based, but customer service is still customer service all the same and I did pleanty of 'admin' type work in these retail jobs anyway, more than just a till monkey. Which I of course emphasise on my CV and in covering letters. But still, there's just hardly any jobs round these parts to apply for! It's very frustrating. The temptation to move city rsies every day, but then that involves alot more than just finding ajob and do liek my social life here. Though new cities mean new women....:mischief:
So my fellow civ fanatics, how is the job market round your ways? Are you or a loved one also struggling with job finding woes? Ever moved city to find a job? Working a crap job yourself with dreams to move up one day? Any helpful tips? And jobs offers for me?
