I don't know about fresh graduates, but I took a job as a lollipop lady after I had graduated.
You go on about pride and self-respect. Where exactly is the pride and self-respect in being on benefits rather than doing an honest job of work?(AKA HRH_MUngo)

I finished university and decided not to apply for the JSA for up to 1 month after i finished a si didnt believe in it or want to.
1 month later i did, purely to lwoer my overdraft left over from my university. (aside from my savings)
I dont care if I lose the JSA next week, I just refuse point blank to do said jobs. Id rather wait. All im after is office jobs, admin.

Yes BECAUSE you know you are going to do a MA, not the other way round of no future plans set in motion whislt doing a low paid job.

If you are not claiming Jobseekers' Allowance, fine, that is your choice. However I don't believe people should be so picky if they ARE on Jobseekers' Allowance.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

I think you should brush up on your spelling and grammar as this is why you could be having a problem getting a graduate job!0 -

Big deal. I'm not sitting an exam :rolleyes:
I passed my GCSE grades at mostly grade B's so I have nothing to prove spelling wise. How I spell here i couldnt care less.
Secondly im not after a graduate job.
