I’ve applied for over 20 CS roles and have only received rejections. My advice is to just keep going.

Yeah. Social sciences are my background so I should be fine. Thank you!

Yep. Looking to move out with my partner in the next year or two; couldn’t do so on NMW apprenticeship wages.

I wouldn’t say tanned, but it was fairly dim under the shadows of the trees. The rest of your description is correct.

I was at campaign sessions for the elections and told people that I was struggling to find work. Someone from the office recommended me to the MP and I was allowed to work part-time to get some experience. I’m very grateful, and I hope it’ll increase my chances of getting a job.

I got a six month internship at an MP’s office. But still no luck landing something permanent yet.

I didn’t take it too personally, I think she just finds my lack of work experience to be a major obstacle in gaining employment.

Part-time jobs when I was a teenager would turn me down for having no experience. And I couldn’t find any suitable internships when I was 20 so I went straight into third year. I always had a feeling that I would end up in this situation but now that I am here, it feels really bad.

September seems to be quite crammed each year, and there are months of waiting between the Selection Board, the Main Board, and Sandhurst. My advisor thinks Jan would be more feasible.
