Going to randomly butt in just to say; I feel your pain. I was applying almost every day this summer and it is hopeless. I've gven up tbh.

Same here, I stop looking for about 2 week, tried today waiting for any email, after today I'm just going to do some voluntary work, might as well improve my CV

At least your getting interview I would love that. Seems like your having hard time with interviews, seems so annoying when the interviewer doesn't tell you what you did wrong, just an unsuccessful letter/email :/ like that would help me.

Well I've only had 3 interviews in the last 2 years so im not having that much my application to interview ratio must be something like 10:1 the reasons I've got are lack of experience I Just hope the employment team at Notts can set me us with something. I think they've got contact with shops and stuff in the city who usually employ students so hopefully ill find something!

Good luck for today's application. I'm so fed up, might just go back to doing commission art instead (but that's long).

So you didn't do a level art? I don't think I could have done it, too much work. The art rooms just gives a vibes that you have to draw with all those paints and arty stuff

Going to randomly butt in just to say; I feel your pain. I was applying almost every day this summer and it is hopeless. I've gven up tbh.

I'm the same. I've been applying for jobs for a couple of years now and the most I've ever gotten is a couple of days if temporary cleaning work.

Oh yeah I did, that was te time I was referring to when I said I spent pretty much every lunchtime there. Haha, I get what you mean, although weirdly enough, I always found the art rooms very relaxing, in 6th form anyway.
