I have applied for a couple of short term positions already.
Heard zilch from either of them. Also registered with a few employment agencies, and uploaded my CV onto a few sites. The bastard is, most employers want experience in whatever particular line of work they're advertising, so even if I could probably do the job with a minimal amount of training, it's not even worth applying because there will always be 20 people ahead of me with the requisite experience.

At least that's not quite as much of a brick wall as demanding a degree for no fucking reason.

True, but it's still a pain in the arse.
Although I lucked into my previous line of work despite having zero experience in that particular field. Proof, surely, that I'm quite capable of branching out into something new?

you'd think so wouldn't you?
Such is life, why take a punt?
