Just went for an interview for some shitty admin job that I don't really want but need the money, it's only 14k which is a pretty big pay cut but it's better than the dole.
Interview went well but they decided I was too qualified for it so they've put me forward for a web developer instead! I'll be over the fuckin moon if I get it

Yeah, market is kinda stagnant at the moment. Had some interest in the visualisation side but nothing concrete yet.

Ash, I'm having exactly the same thing - I put all my eggs into one basket with the Dubai job and it fell through - the companies decided to stay here - still want to move over there

but getting a job in industry is a nightmare; I'm still managing the restaurant I was at before I went to uni

Well in Branners, had several interviews myself recently so know how horrid the whole process is... proper planning and confidence are the best tools mate

I work for the council and my managers arranged an interview for me with our IT department because im pretty much wasted in my place and there was a job comin up, aced the the interview and was dead happy.

Then some other job in the department became redundant, the bloke from that got the one i had been after, not even so much as a sorry!

After a while tho somethin even better came up and now im well happy.

Everythin happens for a reason!

I want to go into visualisation mate, so if you fancy combining talents, you do the modelling and I'll render them up

Could form a new consultancy

It's kinda comforting to know I'm not alone in my struggle!
