Current state of play (my experiences...)

I have relocated and been searching until yesterday (when I landed 2 jobs in one day) for a job!

One of the vacancy I want for has a salary range between £14.5k and £17k. Of the 6 candidates, 4 of us had degree's.

For me it just shows the swing in competition, been in my previous role for 5 years, but also the value (or lack of) a degree?

Anyway those searching - key is keep your head up and be ready when an opportunity comes your way and give it your best.

I, on more than one occasion became confused and de-motivated but it was words of others who kept me going!
