So here I am at 3:15 in the afternoon sat on the floor drinking tea in a dressing gown and pyjamas, I am totally living the student lifestyle, the only problem is that I am no longer a student!
After 17 years of education and a nice big fat load of student debt I now finally find myself unemployed and with no money ... So much fun!
I finished uni nearly two months ago but only officially finished last week when my results came out ... Got a cheeky little 2.1 so that's always good.
However now no one seems to want to employ me at all, I have GCSE's, A levels and a degree but the jobs I apply for doing what I want to do either don't reply or say I am not what they are looking for ... Please tell me how a recent journalism graduate with a decent degree isn't suitable for a graduate entry level journalism job? On top of that I have experience as a cleaner but no cleaning company wants me either, please tell me how I am not good enough to do a job I've done before?
So anyway after a trip to the job centre I was told I wasn't entitled to anything to help me live off because I haven't worked, which I have but due being a student I was exempt from paying tax but no one seems to care about that at the job centre. My trip was also topped off with a lovely stand outside in the freezing cold due to a fire alarm, so that absolutely made my day (detect the sarcasm?).
I just don't understand how some people who have never worked or done anything can claim so much money, yet someone who has put themselves through an education and worked can't have anything to help them until they find a job? Apparently if I had dependents I could, so no wonder so many people purposely get pregnant (and they do I've seen it myself).
So yeah here I am now ranting on a blog (that no one will probably read) because I have nothing to do except look at my little 'job diary' to show someone that I've been looking for a job, I really don't see how this folded piece of paper will help me find a job any quicker considering I was already doing exactly what they are asking me to do, but now I need to keep a record of it ... Such fun I must say!!!
Seriously this unemployment lark is getting a bit much now, the only daily company I have is the cast of Loose Women, I know more about Kate Thornton's and Sherrie Hewson's love life than I know about my own (that's a lie but it sounded dramatic).
Anyway before I go on any further I am going to leave it at that ... At least I have a trip to Wales this week to help me through the constant boredom!!!!
Laters ....
