Item 43: Unemployemt

Location: London

Unemployment? Yep, I'm there. I've actually been here for a few months. Firstly during the wait for a new visa in Australia and now I have experienced London-style for the past couple of months. I heard from a recruiter friend that by the end of the year, one in ten will be unemployed. Huh! I've beat them to it!

Unlike when I first arrived, the hanging out at galleries and markets in my off-time has lost it's 'new world' appeal.

I've made best friends with any recruitment agent who will speak to me over the phone and spammed my CV to all my contacts. A different version according to the skill level and industry the job requires. I even have a 'simplified' version of my CV for temp agencies, with only one biting and now time time has come. The final straw in my push to fund this little jaunt in the UK, LIE!!! Have I experience in this, that or the other? Yes, yes and yes... I'll do anything (to a degree), just give me a JOB!

Item 43: Unemployment? CHECK!
