After being forced to leave Australia at the end of September, where I had a casual journalism job with a major newspaper company and returning to England I have had zero luck in landing a role back "home".
I secured my job back at Asda so at least am working and bringing in the cash but not what I want to do for my life. I had a chat with a guy that joined at the same time as me (August 2008) recently, a maths graduate, and he said the same - no jobs. He is even thinking of changing his career path and I'm not surprised.
In the space of ten days I had three interviews, one for a job in Manchester, one on a paper in Sale and another for a year long trainee scheme with the almightly BBC. I already know I have been unsuccessful with the Manchester and Sale jobs.
I highly doubt me landing the Beeb role, partly down to me being a bag of nerves during the gruelling interview day in London and partly due to the competition I was up against. Find out next week so if I could get that it would be a dream come true and the perfect xmas gift.
Searching job sites at the moment is seeming relatively fruitless but I'll keep checking and it could be worse... But if I don't get a journalism job in the new year I might expand my horizons again with a trip to South Africa - after the cricket and before the World Cup!
