I've considered this, unfortunately I simply cant afford to take anything less than 18k... Hell I was earning £18k when I was an untrained 18 year old who knew completely **** all.
I've looked at everything, from Office Junior roles, to Finance roles... and the requirements are utterly retarded in most cases.
Office Junior, a job that involves filing, making cups of tea, running around like a littble bitch... and they're asking for Graduates.
I see plenty of my friends, who are hardly highly skilled people, with worse grades than me, with less experience than I have doing jobs where they earn £25k easily.
Its not like I'm looking to start on the top rung here, I'm completely willing to start at the bottom and work my way up, I know I can progress quickly as long as I get my head down and work at it, especially in a sales role.
Anyway, applied for 5 jobs last night, got a phone call regarding 2 of them today, one of them was one of the recruitment ones that was asking for a graduate, so we'll have to see.
