job hunting is a job in itself

I know I haven't been on this for a long time but my laptop has yet another virus consuming its insides and causing all sorts of unsavoury delights to pop up so I have boycotted it altogether. My new years resolution is to write on this more because despite my unyielding desire to write for a magazine I have to accept that the current economic crisis means that fully qualified and experienced people cannot find themselves in empolyment so I will have to wait a little longer.

By writing here I can write about what I think people will want to read and my pitiful amount of followers (three in total me being one) will probably not read it but then again writing something is better than nothing.

With 2010 gone and the only thing left from the festivities the the uncomfortable, tight feeling I have in my skinny jeans it seems that I can either go for a run (still too cold) or I can take my life in my hands and stop pretending I am still a student.

Right... I do have a part-time job, that is one good thing. Some people don't even have a part time job to keep their heads about the water and even though we count ourselves lucky that we managed to graduate before Cameron/ Clegg-gate many of us still have a huge amount of debt hanging over our heads.

I would love to work for a magazine, I have wanted to for a long time but finding a job is really stressful and even then it may not be the one I have spent four years studying towards. My CV has become finely tuned and can easily be changed to fit any situation and job websites start popping up next to facebook on my most visited sites.

The only thing to do is keep applying and hopefully someone somewhere will give me a job. As I mentioned before I have a part time job and this has nothing to do with the wonderful people at Dusk nightclub Stirling but I feel like I have to move out of my student flat and start being a grown up.

On the other hand until I find a job that I love more than staying up all night and sleeping all day I can maybe not be a grown up just yet?
