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!

I don't have a degree and am no mensa candidate but have worked alongside people with these before now no problems I think!, well though also never believed a 59 yr old would beat me to getting work, if you would have asked me a few months back, but hey it happened!
so yeah know where you are coming from about the swing in competition! 0
