My job is unfulfiling... well, its crap basically! Not what I was led to believe and career opportunities are ZERO!!
Problem is it is literally 5 mins form my house and is by far and away the biggest local (non-public) employer with approx 1k!
All of these are 45 mins away :S

I wouldn't consider that I'm actively seeking employment elsewhere but if a suitable position comes up then I could be tempted!
Anyone who works in an Agency dominated inductry such as Finance/IT know just how horrible it is to find a good job!!!
You see one you liek and 'apply' to the agency then they basically faff u around, so ya wanna come and see us... NO 
Half the jobs they make up and ha;lf the salarys are several k's too high

Don't talk to me about agencies, missed out on a chance of a job at Aston Martin doing computer modelling as they dragged their heels with my application.

Can be, if you do what they want then they are more likely to help... they always want you to go and meeti witht hem and they never come up with decent jobs but you see the ones u like on websites (reed, gaapweb etc) and they fart arse about with them!

At the end of the day it's better for them to fuck about and get more coverage I suppose, if they took the ad down as soon as they got an application they'd lose out on people signing up I guess.

Exactly but the problem is, people like you and I don't want to sign up... we just want to be put forward for the position we have seen

Spot on. Possibly the most frustrating experience I've had for a long while. Other thing thats pissing me off is how so many companies want the "fresh approach of a new graduate" but still demand 2 years experience. Can't have it both ways

Every single one of those Jd's makes my blood boil.
Fcuking accountants justifying their existence.
Financial Reporting and Systems Analyst? yeah right then....utter toss. An absolutely unfeasable on cost that bleeds off of the profits of a company.
Totally, utterly and comprehensively wank.
Makes my blood boil in the extreme. Why oh why do I do unpaid overtime to pay idiot accountants??
Unbelievable.

Believe me mate...it will happen to you in your lifetime. A fcuking twat accountant telling you he/she knows best....whilst milking their wages off the profits you (me) make for the company in question. Whilst making zero profit themselves....
I guess you get my drift on this subject
