My Next Move – Employment Woes
Since leaving university I’ve been completely unable to find any suitable work whatsoever. Having spent the last three years working hard on my degree, this is a very bitter bill to swallow.
The simply are not as graduate job or graduate training schemes on offer in sufficient numbers, and although I have a good degree in engineering, companies just are not recruiting at the moment.
It seems to me that I have a choice to make, either I take a job as a pizza delivery boy or I leave the country. I don’t really want to go and work abroad, I quite like it here and I don’t want to leave my family right now. I always had in my mind that would like to go travelling at some points but I wanted to go on my own terms, not feel that I was being forced to buy a poor economic situation.
I guess it’s going to have to bite the bullet is no point in staying here wishing my days away and applying for endless positions that I am just not suitable for all know that the competition is just going to be too tough for.
Perhaps if I can get some good work experience abroad, and perhaps improve my foreign language skills at the same time I will stand a better chance of finding the kind of role I want on my return.
I have not made up my mind one way or the other at the moment, but the way things are going it really looks like I’m going to be going away for awhile.
