Blogs 'n jobs eh.

So, back in Blighty from living the Italian 'dream' to do what sensible people do.  Move back to the city and get a job.  Should be be relatively simple, n'est pas?  I am relatively bright, articulate, capable and skilled at something though it's not immediately apparent what, yet where are the jobs, even the easy ones?

My brilliant plan was to temp and fall into something that way.  So I signed up with a few agencies and thought great - I'll be rolling in the temp in no time, fall into a job et voila.  WRONG.  The phone calls were not exactly forthcoming, slow start to the year they say.  Total drag considering there are in fact a whole load of jobs out there.

In the meantime I am shooting off applications here there and everywhere.  My drama degree has not been of much use (no use in fact) so there we go.  This total lack of seemingly being unable to get a bloody job is pushing me towards the entrepreneurial dream therefore potentially working in my favour.  I'm not really a fan of reporting to anyone and like to set my own schedule.  I loathe any kind of corporate environment, it's dull, boring, so idiotic; who even came up with that ridiculous idea?  Yes - self employment is the way forward.  Any ideas, peoples?

Another thing - my interview skills are terrible.  Partly because I find the questions uninspiring and can I use cliched?  And because I think a load of people in current positions are rubbish at doing their jobs (yes, several managers I have come across who are terrible at dealing with customers even though it's their job to do so!)

Blah blah blah.  Whatever.  Rant/moan/whinge/scrooge moment over.
