The long and winding road...

Well folks as I am now officially no longer a student *tear* I thought it was about time I started to look for a job, a full time proper grown up job. Although I haven't officially graduated or passed my degree yet (awaiting the dreaded results in June!! eeek) I still need a job like NOW to get money because despite the fact that I am no longer a student one thing has not escaped me...the poverty bit! I am still a poor non-student! :(

I have been searching and applying for jobs for about two months now with still no joy! I know the world of journalism is in just a bad as state as every other occupation because of the way the economy is but I really really need a job asap. And although I would LOVE to go straight into the journalism job of my dreams, or any journalism job for that matter, it's simply not that easy. I have been applying for basically everything at the minute, from retail jobs to office admin positions I just need a temporary job to keep me in money until I eventually HOPEFULLY get that Journalism job that I really really badly want! But unfortunately I haven't even managed to get just a regular part-time job at the minute despite the fact that I have applied for LOADS! :( The road to employment of any kind seems to very long and very winding, and particularly disheartening that despite getting myself into three years of University debt I cannot even get a job that does not require a degree. But despite all the negatives I WILL NOT GIVE UP!! I am going to continue applying for jobs, journalism and non-journalism related and hopefully I will be able to get something very soon. So everyone keep your fingers crossed! ;)

And in the meantime, to keep me upbeat and positive it can only be one song, by one band that sums up how I will keep on going on the long and winding road to employment!! :D
