So, I have decided to set up a blog, just for the fun of it, and coz it seems like a rad thing to do right now. I used to do similar "blogging" back in the day when I had a myspace account, but I got hacked, and everyone stopped using myspace anyway, so no more of that.
Moving on.
As I'm all set to graduate this summer I've started the long and arduouos process of job searching - hurrah!
So far this has yielded lots of rejections, and a couple of interviews, of which one I am still waiting for a reply, sad times.
Tomorrow I am gonna head up to London to go to two recruitment companies, who are gonna "put me on their books", I'm currently undecided on how this will yield me the results I want, but we'll see. Today I have applied for 4 jobs, each of which have required me to send cover letters. This means I have had to spend quite a bit of time tailoring each letter to the company I am applying to. Now my boyfriend, Dave, seems to think that this only takes 5 mins, however, I know from experience that actually it takes alot longer than this, because you CAN NOT send a generic letter. It doesn't show commintment or care and attention to the company you are appling for. So basically I have spent the past hour and a half writing cover letters.
And I'm starting top think that I might have some blocking cookie on my web browser, because for some obscene reason, I am unable to upload any documents to a website. I can attach documents to an e-mail, no problemo, but to try and upload to a site is proving impossible atm. This makes life difficult becuase earlier I tried to apply to a job with Seimens, but because I was unable to upload my CV I just gave up. For today.
Well that's all I have to rant about for the moment regarding my lacklustre results for grad job hunting *sigh*
Signing Off!
