Jobs

[kangeiko]

I am very frustrated. How can there be so few jobs about in London? I was under the impression that London was simply bursting at the seams with job and fabulous opportunities. How is it that there are none about for yous truly? This is perplexing. Also frustrating. The one wee nibble I have is from a company that would require me to relocate back to Edinburgh. athena25 decreed this ironic. Even consider the more authentic meaning of the term, rather than the stupid Alanis Morrisete meaning, it is still ironic. I am deeply unhappy about this. I don't know whether to work my socks off preparing for this interview for a job I don't know if I want, for a company that I don't know if I like, to move back to a place I hated to leave but have somehow now managed to come to terms with leaving.

Meanwhile, athena25 has placed at ad for a possible replacement flatmate, because no one can afford London rent all by themselves.

Bear in mind that this is before I have the damn interview, before I have managed to mess it up and therefore end up jobless and alone.

I hate my life. *sulk*

I realise that things could be considerably worse (my course takes great delight in reminding me of this fact), but it is becoming progressively harder to remain thankful that I am alive, fed and housed, when at least the latter two are soon going to be in question. Does the UK have a debtor's prison, d'you think? D'you think it has rats? I could learn to like it. Providing there are no rats.

London is a huge city, with plenty of jobs- but the thing is, they are are all hiden from plain site,and the advertised ones get like a million applicants.

It is the same here in podunky Portland, Oregon.

Yes, things could be worse, but you know, things are bad for you, and what you need is encouragement and help, not condescending remarks.

You go on and talk as much as you like, and I will try to give as much encouragement and tips that I can! It's not a bore at all!
