oh phil, why do you bother posting the same thing over and over and over again?

I am really confused - you want an office job because you don't want to work in a shop or a call centre, but you don't want to take ad admin role because it's beneath you? Nobody walks into a top management job straight after graduating anymore. You have to start at the bottom and prove you are good enough to be promoted up the ladder, just like everyone else. The degree should help you go far, but only if you prove your worth - it's not a golden ticket.

I'm wondering how your CV is set out? Presumably you are using a competency based one that highlights all your transferable skills? And you will have some if you've been to Uni - computer skills, presentation skills, communication skills.

Have you registered with temping agencies? I did this when I first left Uni, some days I'd be doing data entry, other days I'd be helping put packs together for conferences - I just did whatever companies needed help with.

Admin job is just what I want.

My CV is skills based, yes.

No it isn't, you haven't got any skills.

Because I can never seem to resolve my lack of progress. I have sent of loads of applications these last few days for ADmin, to database work to software testing. I am trying my best to find a job but I just have to wait I guess.

Fifteen pages of this thread - and I'm set at 40 post per page - all on stuff that phil has posted MONTHS ago, all the same questions, same answers, same going over in circles.

Phil, when peeps say you don't listen, you whinge back saying you do. Well, listening means not just noting what is being said, but also acting on the advice given AND/OR stopping asking the same questions.

When one truly listens one does not have to ask again.

So if you want an admin role, and you can use a computer, get registered with temping agencies. It'll give you some all important experience and enable you to broaden your skills, as well as giving you some ideas of industries you might like to work in. It will also boost your confidence - it's nervewracking walking into a company first thing in the morning not knowing anyone, but whenever I left at the end of the day, whoever had employed me would always say thank you - that's more than I get in my job now!

but that doesnt explain why you keep psting the same thing over and over again, ignor peoples suggestions and basically put up with a load of ribbing.
If you truly are real i suggest you sign up to a depression forum and seek help there, there are lots about and loads of people who will be able to help you, because posting on here is clearly getting you nowhere.

I go over and over it because I just get so over powered by it all and never feeling success and I just have to vent it somehow. My friends can get jobs at city banks and really top jobs and I just get no where and just makes me some sad with myself.

I know the answer is getting a job and it will cheer me up.
