Phil, has it occurred to you that you create the rules the world should work by in your head and then get enormously frustrated when things dont happen according to YOUR rules?

I have followed advice. Applied for very pt jobs in the hope they will get less applications, gone back to applying for jobs that I have experience in and still I get no where, I just don't see what else I can do.
if you fail your exams are you going to retake them and use the same answers? hoping that one day they might just be right. Or would you change your answers?
If you're getting nowhere with job applications then it's obvious your CV sucks monkey c*ck. Post it up here so we can have a laugh go at showing you where you're going wrong.0 -

What the hell am I going to have after next week, going to uni for a few hours a week is my only escape I have from my bedroom other than going out socially once a blue moon. I am going to have nothing and not even that bit of escape from stuck at home.:beer:0
