Employment Impossibility.

vaporate

Hmm other thread deleted, continue here.

Firstly, I would like to apologise if I offended a few ppl. But I will not apologise for not wishing to do certain jobs. Simple. Even if it means being unemployed for longer.

So you deleted a thread in which you were told not to be so fussy.

Its my thread and I'm deleting it springs to mind

Actually I didnt delete it. At first I thoguht a MOD did, but I may had done it accidentally. Hence the opening of this one.

I was actually in the middle of my reply then!!:mad: - so here it is...

Do you actually want to be a teacher?

If you do then you should be more persistant. Treat it like a job application, think about what you have to offer them rather than the other way round.
I would send a full cv and covering letter to the headteacher and then follow up with a phone call a few days later.

Teach abroad? Why not? Plenty of people do. I have spent most of the past two years working and travelling overseas and I don't regret it at all.

I do know how you feel. Leaving uni is a shock to the system. Those three years went way too fast!

I'll never forget going into the job centre after I graduated and saying that I was looking for a ''graduate job'' - the looks on their faces!
I have learnt some hard lessons in those three years since I graduated and I'm sure you will.

I didn't think you could delete a whole thread, just your own posts.

vaporate cannot delete threads. Therefore a BG or a member of the Abuse Team would have done it. Therefore it should not be restarted.

Many thanks Loisa, I am actually looking into the JET scheme. Applications come out in october so that is a option, as well as INTERAC company for ALT positions. However my graduation is on the 29th January 2010 at Canterbury Cathedral which is where I receive my degree certificate which I may need to wait for.

I so cant wait till I get a job though. There is nothing worse than having to go to the job centre every 2 weeks. The place if full of drop outs, !!!!!! ect

I actually agree with that, The JC is the most depressing place on earth, Next to a Brantanos shoe shop.

It is, no snobbery intended. Also I apologise if I offended you, but I'm just rather fed up if I were to be honest of sitting around looking for work. And then proving to the JC that your not a bum and actually are looking for work.

Feels like you have to prove yourself 24/7

Oh. Go. Away.

You are going to have to accept that you should have researched your prospects prior to uni rather than assuming a degree would get you somewhere. And then done everything you could to improve your CV.

Until you have a job you are 'below' people in jobs such as till work etc, so maybe you shouldn't get on your high horse and consider those jobs until you find something better-some work experience is better than none. You are not above anything as it stands, esp if you are claiming JSA.

And you are in the same position as those 'drop outs' and '!!!!!!' so I would be quiet if I were you.
