  1. I've looked at the fire service, but to do the analytical stuff they want a chem degree or similar. And I don't want to do anymore education lol. I do get you though, do something that is a necessity to people as opposed to a luxury. That's the way I'm looking just hoping to get anything at the moment though. I'm trying to network a bit too, but it's tricky when you're on the dole. The Liverpool city job centre is hardly a bustling environment of great minds and business types.
  2. I don't enjoy repeating myself when it's there for you to read. But I guess ignorance is bliss. I don't claim pills work for everyone in every situation, and I haven't said that in any of my posts, I simply defended that they have a place, but doing nothing definitely doesn't help.
  3. Without knowing the full story you're making a misinformed diagnosis, how do you know from what Greetings has said that her only problem is being over ambitious? It seems to me she's very much a people pleaser as well, which suggests there might be something else involved, which might be chemical or might need some sort of counselling. But people are still so afraid of the stigma attached to counselling. In the same vein, I think you could get a great deal from it, talking to someone about your previous relationship as it's clearly a hang up and you still think a great deal of a girl who was being a fanny to you for a long time.
  4. I always wonder how the Tories get back into power. Do people never learn?
  5. Read my post, I said if it's a chemical imbalance then drugs are worthwhile. But if it's caused by exterior factors then things like counselling etc are much more effective.
  6. I wasn't going to say anything on the medication front, but I feel I must now. Depression is a chemical imbalance that a person cannot control, in the olden days this was dealt with by a drug called Lithium, with completely removed emotion from a person (This is where a lot of the "Don't use drugs to help balance it out" comes from) nowadays there are tailored anti-depressants to help combat individual people's problems. I don't see why this is such a bad thing? If she's depressed due to external reasons it's a different matter, but from what you're saying she's a people pleaser, which comes across as someone who an internal problem as opposed to someone who's just lost a relative or who is struggling with problems. Self-medicating problems you have to work around is bad, but when it's something that regardless of how much self-reflection etc you do it won't go away, what else can she do? As someone with 2 mental "disabilities" that you can't do anything about, I do get rather annoyed when people say "Don't take medicine" because if you can, and it's valid for your situation, why wouldn't you?
  7. If he's worked hard to get his Doctorate and whatever, then fair play, that's a lot of work that I know I couldn't be bothered with so he deserves a job far more than I do. Or that's my opinion anyway
  8. We were told repeatedly that employers make very little distinction between a 2.1 and a 1st, which made me definitely try less. I think right now, a 1st would be better, mainly because there are no jobs around, especially in graduate positions. So anything that can set you out from the crowd or make your CV a bit better will help. I do wish I would have put more in, but I know part of me not getting a job is the current economic climate. I just hate the fact I'm hardly getting any interviews.
  9. I thought it was pretty shite, I've never seen an opening ceremony before and I wasn't expecting 2 hours of pain, I ended up going to bed. I thought the storybook bit was kinda cool, but it was hardly all encompassing, and the idea behind the change from rural Britain to industrial was cool, but again, too long. That's just me though.
  10. Sorry for going off topic, but all the girls I've spoke to about it have said they skip the porno bits and just read the story. So I doubt they're getting too wet. Mainly because they're not even interested.
  11. That doesn't surprise me, I did nothing for my last year and a half and no revision for my exams and got a 2.1..... So I can imagine employers have caught on that any old skin sack can get a 2.1 nowadays, especially in Psychology. Also on the people complaining about JSA, the whole benefits system in general is retarded, me and my girlfriend are a couple, and this has meant that instead of getting the minimum amount, they want to give us more, but we just want what we were getting, but they won't give us that.... What? It's ridiculous, I hate it, it's taken us 2 months to sort shit out. Anyways, I'll have a look at recruitment agencies, hopefully someone will find me something, are there any good nationwide ones? Or is it better to look at local ones?
  12. Thanks for all the infos chaps, I do quite a lot of the stuff that's been suggested like tailoring CVs and covering letters, I'm applying for some stuff that's around £10k a year as well so I'm not just looking at stuff that is like £20k+ career type stuff, I just can't seem to get any responses, I've probably just had a bit of a stream of bad luck and whatever. But my problem now is, I've been sent on a lot of courses on how to improve your chances of getting a job etc by the Job Centre, all of them say different things... It's good to know others are in similar situations to me though, hopefully by the time the likes of Dan has finished his degree it'll be better, because if I've still not got a job by then I could very well be finding a job falling very fast from a high place without any safety equipment. So about this bamboo....
  13. The police are cutting around 12,000 jobs at the moment so it's not great, although I am looking for data analyst jobs within the police a lot. And most "beat" jobs now require you to be a special constable for 2 years, then to become a detective you've got to do a year or two on the beat as well, and I couldn't do that in Liverpool... I've never even though about the MP so I'll definitely have a look into that, great idea, although I'm not sure how they're viewed within the army. Ahhh awesome Mr Fox, another great idea, I'll definitely take a look into that. Congratulations on the mod position as well whenever that happened lol.
