JOB= IMPOSSIBLE (maybe slight exaggeration)

(Also there are a few typos in your posting - fine on here, but could be fatal on a CV or covering letter - get someone to check and for a while maybe give yourself a zero tolerance of typos and spelling mistakes to get you ready for maybe a written test)[/QUOTE]

Thanks for your help i know about the typing errors and theres no excuse apart from being lazy on here lol
my partner likes to check everything i do lol (i mean letters/applications)

Kingfisherblue's post was wonderful.

Temping - whilst the pay and jobs may not be amazing, it is all about flexibility and getting back out there. And you get to test out new employers and they get to test drive you as well! You might find you do a bit of sickness cover and impress the company enough into offering you work. It is all about getting a foot in the door.

I agree about finding temp agencies - that's how I worked between uni terms and they're great. Once you get one job and do it well then you might start being more in demand

hi couponqueen, please don't take this the wrong way, it is not criticism, i am just tying to help you avoid mistakes on your cv. when you use spell check it will only throw up words that have the wrong spelling and not the wrong words.. as in your post earlier, " brake down" would not have been picked up by spell check, even though it is the wrong word, the spelling is fine.... as i have said, i am not being critical, as i have been guilty of this too, i am not that good at spelling myself, just trying to help you avoid letting the odd one slip through.. it happened to me years ago when i used to go around town posting my cv through every business door, only one did reply, and that was to thank me and to point out my mistakes.
