I simply don't understand HOW you can't find a job. Are you sure your CV isn't appalling shit or something? I mean how do you get rejected from a job at Iceland?

I have had people check my CV. It is fine. I got rejected from Iceland in a similar manner I got rejected from delivering pizzas for Domino.

I could be a cynical internet poster, my only problem is it only kicks in to gear when I am being called a liar. I admit that this situation is highly unlikely, but if you spent a day with me you would probably see it is entirely in keeping with my character.

I really want a job if only for materialistic posessions. My laptop screen (which I am using rigt now) has vertical lines of varying colour and thickness running down and it makes reading things rather difficult and watching things essentially impossible. I would like to get it fixed. As well as my keyboard and my new power charger which also seems to be malfunctioning. that's not to mention a half-decent decent guitar.

Don't make fun of the pseudo-psycho-bollocks. If you hate it so much then why are you spending your spare time going to Reading (i thought you had no money...?) and dossing round on the net? You quit that job with the conveyor belts after 2 days because you thought you were better than it.

What has going to Reading got to do with you talking out of your arse? I used all of the money I had 'saved up' to buy it. that basically means that instead of my bank balance being -£100 it went closer to the -£300 limit.

I quit that job after two days because on the second day I got really ill and was particularly bad for the following week. If you recall, I actually did not mind the job and was looking forward to recieving a pay-check, which incidently I've not yet recieved.

Put simply, you think that just because you have a degree that the world OWES you a job and OWES you some money for this. That isn't how it works, sunshine. Put some effort into it.

What did you do today to find a job? What did you do yesterday? What will you do tomorrow? Set some targets, for chrissakes. And decide what you want to do with your life. Even work experience isn't such a bad idea.

Oh wow, again with the psychic powers! I have applied for an awful lot of jobs, but then you would already know that becuase you're in my MIND.

targets? What targets? Apart from 'applying for loads of jobs' what other targets are there? It doesn't matter what I want to do with my life, it's not as if that will somehow magically get me a job stacking shelves at tesco!

I would like some work experiance. In fact, I went to a load of temping agencies to get some work, so far nothing. I contacted a load of volunteer agencies, so far nothing. Although I didn't really realise the potential for volunteering until a few months ago, which really limits my options somewhat.

PS the "history doesnt lend itself to anything" is a load of crap. you have a degree, which is universal for saying "i have qualifications". it doesn't have to be specialised.

that was in direct reference to the 'what did you study' question and it doesn't, it won't help me find a job to focus on getting. I hope you realise that I DO put it on my CV, so it's not like I'm hiding it or something, but it really doesn't seem to be helping me at the moment.
