Chindie Posted June 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2012 Another job application gone off this afternoon. I'm getting fed up of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Is it that much of a bastard to get a job at the moment? See I'm thinking about quitting everything and going travelling in the hope that i'll be able to get a job when I come back, but I don't want to be scratching around for employment for too long when I get back.

choffer Posted June 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2012 It can be. QFT. 20 years of experience, a great CV and it still took me 10 months for find a new job. Can't imagine how tough it must be for the likes of you, Chindie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2012 It's not going well. Companies and businesses want very specific things, in graduates they want very specific degrees and excellent A Level results. In some cases they want experience as well. Normal vacancies want experience for even the most lowly roles. It's difficult to get your foot in the door. I worked in a shop for 18 months. My CV isn't the best because theres not really the chance to improve it the moment. Been about 10 weeks now since I was made redundant. All I can keep doing is pinging off the applications I guess. Starts to get at you after a while. It's not like I'm expecting to waltz into an excellent job - I'm pitching myself way below a graduate wage and I want to prove myself. And yet, nothing. You start to worry that nothing is ever going to come, or that the promise you had is waning away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Keep at it Chindie, just remember it's the job market, not you. Each decent looking job probably has hundreds of applicants. You know this and its hard not to feel frustrated at the situation but something will come up if you keep plugging away. It's ****. We were promised the world, told that going to university would improve our job prospects and incomes and yet a lot of recent graduates work in jobs they are over quallified for and ununspired to do due to a dodgy economy and a tepid job market.

TheDon Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 On the other side of the coin, the company I work for are recruiting a software developer, and the candidates we get are completely dire. CVs full of mistakes that sound like they're wrote by people with English as a third language, and the ones that actually make it through to interview either fail to turn up (I'd say around 75% of people we've asked in for an interview have no-shown) or completely flunk the most basic skills test.

Chindie Posted June 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2012 I sincerely hope all the other candidates I'm up against in these things are dire, with CVs riddled with errors, because if it is the case I might actually get a chance. Unfortunately, my record thus far suggests they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
