It seems that no idea is too shite to at least have a punt these days. Hence the proliferation of pound shops and shitty TV channels. Or something.
Good morning EADD. First night without booze in a long time, with the bonus of having managed not to touch a single benzo either! Feeling pretty good. Though I did wake up twice needing a spliff, then proceeded to dream about being handed a hundred temazepam.
Anyway, looks like another sunny one here. Green tea coming right up.

i spent about 3 months trying to help my boyf find a job for moving up here, and concluded i know fuck all about how you go about getting a job. other than just putting your cv online and waiting for calls, which is how he got his job in the end. this is no use if you have a vague idea of what you want to do rather than being desperate for any employment. i'm not stupid, but definitely think i'd benefit from that lecture.
almost got in a argument with a job agency yesterday but resisted asking them what qualifies new graduates to appoint financial executives, as i'm fairly sure this is how you don't get a job.

Currently waiting on some very expensive headphones SD, the tracking on teh royal mail site says its left the delivery office and will be with you shortly or you may already have it.
Postie is a bit a way but ive had problems with them not turning up SD's on time, if he doesnt have it shal i open the door and speak to him about it? Pisses me off so much i pay for SD and it doesnt turn up.

It's hardly rocket science is it.
However this hardly seems like the most productive way of finding one. Being a bit more proactive and actually seeking out available jobs is probably better than just sticking a CV online and hoping some finds it.
I'm not giving you a lecture or that btw, I'm lazy as fuck about looking for a job. This thing today only lasted 20mins in the end and it was kinda pointless, they went through the various ways you can find work most of which were obvious but there were a couple of services the jobcentre apparently offer that I didn't know about like a CV to job matching service, work trial placements (you can have a 2 week trial at most jobs 'apparently' whilst still getting your dole), a CV skillset review where they'll work out your best skills and show you which jobs they transfer to and a few other things like ILA which I knew about already (not because the job centre told me). All could be useful but why can't the jobcentre advisor just tell you about these things when you sign on instead of making you go to a lecture. Would take them 2 seconds when you first sign on to inform you of everything and could help hundreds of people no doubt.

glad you found the talk useful, though yeah it is def frustrating that they couldn't have just told you that at the start.
i'm just not sure if i believe that normal, rather than highly specialised, jobs are given out any other way now. its all agencies and they just harvest cvs online and keep them. i found out that even companies who allow you to apply directly actually appoint people through job agencies, so applying directly is a complete waste of time. so i guess whats rocket science to me is getting a job without going through an agency.
i can't bear the thought of some humanities graduate looking at my 9 years (by the time i finish my phd) of education, who literally wont be able to understand half my CV, seeing i dont have 2 years of office experience and writing me off as unemployable.

Nah man, sometimes they just take out a card saying "We missed you!" just because they can not be fucked carrying around packages - but even then, sometimes the delivery guys do this, and just pass on the card for the postie to give to you. It is rife where I am; a few week ago my mate was stood at the other side of the glass door when he just put it through without knocking or fuck all. I was gonna run out there wanking, cum on him and say "I didn't miss you!"

Surely you'd be looking for positions on Nature or New Scientist?
Or, whatever research papers interest you the most, email the labs to see if there are any post-doc's coming up. Perhaps you'll get lucky and will have something in their lab, or they may point you in the right direction. Also, conferences are a good place for possible opportunities. A few people asked me what my plans were when I'd finished - reckon if I wanted to I could have possibly drummed up a couple of interviews for 'post PhD' life...
Give me a shout if you want a chat about it - if I can help I will
Isn't postgrad science education effectively a cheapo recuitment scheme for industry in itself? I don't know one science postgrad who's had to go straight to the Jobcentre. What kind of job do you have in mind? Surely not one where 'office experience' would be a prerequisite?
I don't like the idea of a science graduate evaluating poetry either... so the disciplines are even.

I got my current job because my mate worked there, he told me they were taking on staff so I phoned up & asked for an application or I sent a CV, cannae quite mind. My previous job was through an agency but I went to that agency specifically for that particular job. It was advertised on one of those Monster or S1 Jobs type sites as though I was going along for an interview with the actual company, when I turned up at the place it was a recruitment agency, they then sent me for an interview with the real company after a brief interview/look at my cv with some doughball at the agency.
I can't be fucked finding the Style Warz thread so I'm just gonna post this in here because I'm choking to tell cunts about my new belter of a tracky lol. Got delivered the day.
Cracker! %)
Adidas Firebird run the show when it comes to tracky tops.
