Rrrrrright!!
It's that time of year! Rather, it's over that time of year but I'm finally getting around to applying for paltry graduate jobs. All my friends who graduated from engineering last year tell me they work only 9-3 and for that, they're mostly sitting around drinking tea and reading bbc news/professional publications because there's simply no work.
Nevermind, I shall break through this barrier with me AMAZING NEW CV! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I will take over the world of engineering one company at a time...
*hopes positive thinking works*
On a serious note, the lady at the careers centre assured me I have a great cv, full of experience, skills etc.. I just wasn't presenting it in its best way. So I re-did it under her guidance and it looks all flash and neat now. I'm to go back next week with cover letters for the companies I want to work for and we'll go through them too.
The only problem being that in order to ride out the recession, I thought I'd go to Cyprus for 6 months to work over there. Is it cheeky to ask to start a graduate job in January 2010?

Some of the accountancy /consultancy/law firms are paying their graduates to defer for a year, so I think 2010 is not unreasonable at all
