Being Unemployed.

I have to ask, how do people do it?

I have been left university three months. Fair enough, my course didn't require a lot of contact time, but I was working a lot whilst at home so it wasn't like I wasn't getting anything done and just sitting, doing nothing. But now, now I am unemployed, in £18,00 worth of debt and find myself asking, why am I even bothering to get up today? It's really hitting me now, how incredibly hard the job market is.

I sat looking at a job advertisement, genuinely ANGRY this morning, thinking to myself, why can you not just write what the job actually is?! Instead of outlining all the 'incredible benefits' which one will never receive. Furthermore, why when writing the title for a job instead of writing, "Graduate Marketing Executive" why don't they write "Cold Calling C**t" instead. Sorry for my harsh language there, but the alliteration worked ;)

I know research shows the work is the biggest cause of stress, but I think right now I would rather be stressed because of work than because I can't quite decide what mundane piece of shit to watch on day time TV. I am losing my mind right now, I cannot apply for any more positions where I am walking into an all commission based position. I don't want to work on commission, so why the hell should I?

I want, I need, I want, I need a job. *Insert long winded sigh here*

Please tell me that others, graduate or not, are in my position? Being unemployed is driving you bat shit crazy?!?

As always, give me a tweet if you want, @DebStevo90 or just leave a comment. You know the drill!

Thanks for reading!
