At the end of February, I notched up my 100th job application since being dismissed 13 months earlier.The first 50 applications have already been well documented in a post from the end of last June, when the last thing I expected was for the count to

Even if I say so myself, I wrote some great stuff during that first week of March.It was the kind of stuff that, had I been motivated enough in the weeks and months just gone, would have been just perfect to kick start this blog again after an unforg

I’ve always hated Alan Sugar…and, after last night’s Apprentice final, I think he’s seriously cruising for a bruising.  Don’t get me wrong: I don’t watch the programme anymore because I grew tired of the ster

Ten more days went by without a peep.As friends, acquaintances, and potential employers wound down for Christmas by attending social events of an evening, followed by all-nighters at the nearest A&E department, I was at home twiddling my thu

The morning of November 30th was much the same as the mornings that had gone before.I got into work on time, finished a task from the previous day, started a new task that took half the time expected to complete, took lunch, and came back, expecting

I was more relieved than happy to have finally nabbed a job at the BBC, particularly one in which I would be able to utilize many of my skills.Even though it was a relatively unglamorous role and only a three-month attachment, there was the possibili
