Yes, I have one more exam and my room is completely full of mindmaps and charts to help me remember it all.

Are they stuck on the wall? If so, that's not a bad idea actually.

I find mindmap work well for me in that I seem to remember the colours and shapes of them well. They are a fun way of revision as it seems like drawing than revision.

I have got them stuck of my cupboard, least some of them.

phil it is not the end of the world if you don't get it, you just try for another and get over it. I have been rejected for jobs in the past like many others here - it's life! You really need to pull yourself together and grow up phil, no one likes to get rejected when they try for jobs but at some point in your life you probably will be.

I know it won't be the end of the world but I will be mighty shocked if I don't get it as I have gone right back to what I have experience of and it is a job with very anti- social weekend hours. Plus, I spent days and days reading up all the latest info about the sector, so I must have put myself in a good position.

If you want a job so badly, have you thought about applying for a whole load at once, going for different interviews, and then seeing what gets offered? You never know, you might end with more than one job offer, and then you can choose.

I have to say, from your posts on this board, you appear to have very little self-belief in your own actions, as you continually ask others what to do. I think this could be a problem that you would do well to deal with.

I did apply for about 8 jobs at once and this was the only one I got an interview for.

I do hae faith in myself and my experrience in this sector but I know my chances are at risk if someone who has worked in a shop in customer services applies as their diect role experience may well counter act my sector experience.

So whilst I do know I have a lot to offer I know there are risks to my chances.

Phil, when my son left school, (in 1996), he applied for 48 jobs, got 3 replies and 2 interviews.

He got one of those jobs, and has risen up the ranks.

He had lots of qualifications,and it is just a case of applying for jobs, and then hoping that one of them comes through.

Thanks, I know my time will come one time and I just have to wait and keep going. It took people like Kant and Hume(great thinkers of the modern age) years to find a decent job and I know God does not really mind if you are successful in live or not. So I know I am far from alone in it taking me a long time to get anywhere. I think I listen too much to the capitalist idea that you must be fighting and keeping up with others rather than sticking to my true values.

Just do your best,and if you don't get a job, ask for feedback as to why.

Then, you can brush up on your interview skills.
