So been on the job hunt since July.
Spent countless hours typing out application forms and had 7 unsuccessful interviews. Very disheartening, especially when they don’t give feedback when requested.
I’ll be honest, it affected me mentally – self worth takes a knock and trimming the sails financially really drops the head, you can’t look much into the future.
However, today I finally got exactly what I was looking for – 3 days a week working for a charity, £5k more than I was on before and a tidy 16 miles each way on pretty flat (mostly) bike paths (Edinburgh->Inverkeithing)
Can finally relax and exhale.
I know there’s a few other folk on here looking for work, so I guess just to let you know that even though it can seem pretty hopeless…. it can work out.
Also, have savings and eat vegetarian. Will get you through longer than you think!
Can’t wait for a burger tonight!
