Cheers for that mate, some wise words.

I find jogging actually gets rid of all stress and calms everything down, but been doing it too much recently and my knees hurt so much I can barely walk lol, looking forward to running again.

I hate applying for jobs, I applied 15 places, heard nothing from 10 and got no letters from 5, i been looking for months now.

Just applied to be a postman, not the most fun job in the world but at £7.80 an hour I'm not complaining hehe.

buy some proper running shoes (if you have not already) - this will solve the sore knee problem.

I set out to buy running shoes and ended up kinda forgetting and just got a pair I liked lmao, it sorted the knee problem for about 2 months but it's started again.

I've got a good degree from a good uni and I've done over 400 job applications. I graduated last summer and only now I have a temp job which was completely by luck. Take whatever job comes.

Got to agree with you, when I am hiring for my company I tend to go for experience more so than degree's sad but true.

Yer that's the problem, went for a couple of jobs at currys which I *know* i'd be good at, but in the advert it says "previous sales experience is required"...well how can I get a job when most say previous experience required.

Some say "preferred but not essential" and I think the problem I have there is if someone applies and they have 5yr experience, and I apply and I have no experience, it makes more sense to hire them.

I'm 20 and have never had a job, and I seem to be paying for it now as I can't get one even though I'm trying!

Applied for my local police force as they were recruiting, go into a second stage where they send some forms to me and I fill them in and send back but they said they won't be replying for months as it's a long process.
I'd LOVE to get in to the police force, but my hopes aren't high tbh....can anyone help lol Put in a good word for me

Well let me give you some advise, I would look for a sales job they tend to take on anyone. If you failing to find full time start with a weekend position and you can show them how good you are, then ask the manager to find you a full time position.

Places that have a high turn over are opticians, Specsavers and never to fussed about your qualifications trust me on that one

Give it a shot you wont be disappointed, make sure you go in dressed decent and brush up on your knowledge of glasses (not rocket science at all)

If you need any tips if you get an interview then PM il give you hand, alternatively your CV also needs to show an interest in the position you applying for.
