Most people think of the film 'Green Street' with that Frodo guy from Lord of the Rings. "I fucking hate journo's" is what I distinctly remember someone saying from the film.
So anyway, what springs to mind when I think of first time jobs is: Lehman Brothers, HBOS, RBS, rising unemployment, job cuts, recruitment freeze, recession, credit crunch, 400 000 students graduating this year into the worst state Britain's economy has been in for over 100 years. Jesus, it's all a bit shit to be honest. (I know, I could have done tbh but I fucking hate abbreviations like that. Especially lol! I heard some stupid muppet say "I fully lol'ed man" - what and arse hole)
Moving on. My first job. I guess it's all about firing out my amazing CV (feel free to contact me if you want to give me a job) and typing up 'oh so lovely' covering letters, which everyone enjoys. I guess employers will pay new recruits less which I have going for me. Persistence and positivity are going to have to be key, but money is wearing thin. At this stage I'm thinking of applying for any job that pays well and keep up my writing on the side.
I have a few side projects on the go, a bit of freelance work booked in. Everyone else on my course is doing more work experience when they finish the course. Maybe I should do that. Or even better, go on the doll, join the 2 million unemployed and sponge of the government.
Hell, even if I don't end up journalizing on my first job, there's always my blog to write. If I can be arsed that is.
