AAAAARRRGH!
Before Easter I applied for the job of Project Officer at the Cathedral – the role would've been ideal to compliment my other work, but I have not been successful despite the fact that I possess all the criteria asked for in the job description.
Career advice offered by Yahoo news detailing recession proof professions, recommends that HR Redundancy skills are highly desirable in the current economic climate – I have therefore been practising firing people….. apparently RBS are the top company for redundancies, so therefore I will apply to work there after a short self-induced training period….. Yes, the world is finally going completely mad!
I went out instead and stuck Lady of Shalott mirrors around the city and photographed them, and a local writer wanted artists to submit images for a magazine, so I've done that in the hope of gaining some publicity…
Because this blog takes so long to upload photos, here is the link to the images on Facebook, which uploads photos instantly from iphoto:

But just now I have received an email from University Opportunities advertising a position for ORGANISER with the local business group – VOLUNTARY. The job description, including hours is worth at least 15k, and I am becoming increasingly angry at adverts such as this trying to exploit undergraduates and graduates.
My mother says that voluntary work is for well off retired people, I would add community service to that. Here is a link to employment rights:

Need I send them a copy of my student loan repayment criteria? I refuse to be exploited, and I hope no one accepts the job, despite it otherwise being a good opportunity… good enough to pay a living, working wage though.
Now I must carry on with more important business proposals. I have a presentation on Monday and I have no idea how to calculate estimated costs and overheads for an accurate financial projection. I'm not an accountant. But at least the kids are at school again, so I can continue where I left off before.
So I'm starting to feel like a fish out of water, this'll be interesting….
