More Rejection
In yet another comical twist and turn of my life, I have also been turned down as an Election Assistant for the upcoming European elections. Woohoo!:: Friday, June 04, 2004 ::

Caribbean Volunteering
Noticed an interesting opportunity today. A volunteer group are looking to assemble a team to go to Antigua to work on a local history project and oral archive, as well as all the usual conservation work. It would cost me £1850 for 3 months out there, which includes living costs and expenses - but not flights. It might be worth checking out, if the company gets back to me any time soon. Mind you, I don't know where I'd get the money from. I have no idea how many students can afford these gap years and excursions - rich parents, I guess.:: Thursday, June 03, 2004 ::

Radio Chris
I've just volunteered to work at a couple of local hospital radio stations to get some experience. Let's see if anything turns up!:: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 ::
Is it possible to be turned down for volunteer work? If it is, I'm sure I'll manage it somehow :)

Job Applications
Well, so much for MA's helping you to get better jobs! So far, I'm getting turned down left, right and centre.
Civil Service (Fast Stream): Failed
Which? Magazine Researcher: Failed
BBC History On-Line Placement: Failed
...and now the one that really hurts...
Waitrose Graduate Scheme: Failed
Waitrose are a bloody supermarket! So, I have a Master's Degree from one of the world's top universities, an excellent employment record and some top-notch skills, and I'm not qualified to tell people where to stack frozen chickens.
Sometimes, I just have to laugh! :)
