Ok so my life for the last 4 months has been kind of shit! I lost my job in March. I was working as a Medical Secretary and I loved it but due to some stress related absences in the last year I fell afoul of the NHS's sickness and absence policy :-(
Long story short - they terminated my contract. I had forgotten what it is like to live without ready cash lol, my jobseekers allowance goes straight into our joint account to pay our bills. I have applied for job after job and only had one interview, this has made me feel really dejected, I always thought I had good skills - 5 years admin experience, NVQ Business & Admin level 3, OCR Text Production & Word Processing level 3 and I can type at 55 wpm but it doesn't seem to be enough.
I have today signed with an agency, did their little aptitude tests and hopefully there will be jobs at another hospital miles away which will involve either 2 buses or a train journey, whichever is more cost effective.
Sigh...
I wore my Simply Be tea dress today with some brown leggings and my bikey boots and I popped on my Evans purple mac with the bow on the back because I wasn't sure what the weather was gonna do. I forgot to take a picture.
I hope you can get work soon. That has to be hard looking for a job. It does sound like you have good skills so best of luck to you. At least in the UK there does seem more reasonableness towards the unemployed, here America is getting scary with all the new unemployed people who are off all unemployment which essentially for most means no income. I think you will be able to get a job soon.
