Hello,
well i joined this community because i am currently unemployed and finding it increasingly depressing. i thought it would help to make some friends in the same boat - all my friends are either doctors, vet surgeons, or lawyers. I graduated two years ago, and have had two jobs - working in a nursing home and assistant managing a delicatessen. I moved back home in August to save up money to get married and find a career path that is more permanent and satisfying.
Have applied for lots of jobs and so far received no offers - recently i got a phone call from a school where i had an interview. they didn't want to employ me, but told me how wonderful i was and what a great candidate i had been which, to be honest, was more that a little frustrating.
My boyfriend lives in London whilst i am in Liverpool, so a major part of my unemployment benefit goes on train tickets. i just feel poor, and like i'm no good - which i suppose doesn't help my job prospects. It's all getting a little much, even though i realise i am lucky - i'm living in my parents home (even though i feel way too old at 23 for that) so i don't have to worry about rent and bills. I haven't saved up a penny so far for my wedding, and my boyfriend's family is really hard-going because of our religious differences (they = muslim, i = atheist) and don't like him coming to visit me.
It would be good to talk to some people who are feeling similar, if anyone has the time, thanks.
