I already have a job
A shit, part time one that just about covers bills, but I urgently need a FT one. No one has the hours it would seem..

hmm,
I thought it was supposed to be easier if you had a job already.

There is just a lack of jobs at the moment
I got a mate in Essex applying for IT jobs that are attracting over 2000 applicants etc, its not a good time to be needing a job..

jesus,
the one I went for at the council, they told me it had 104 applicants, which is apparently a lot by their standards. Seems like I don't have that much to complain about.

My brother reckons Newcastle is full of I.T. jobs at the moment, mind.

I'm trying to do the same
but I've worked out a routine where I do all I can jobwise between 9 & 11am and then forget about it (unless I have to attend work-related appointments in the afternoon) until 9am the next day.

Dwelling on the situation all day would drive me nuts.

Yeah I have a bookmark folder with about 12 different sites that I check each day
About to get local paper as its the weekly jobs section, so just a case of keep trying and looking!
