I agree try and get a supermarket job now.
I was very naive when i started Uni and gave up quite a decent Saturday job because despite being well looked after I thought I would easily find something more to my liking when I moved away from home - I cannot believe I never even asked for a transfer - after all I thought, I have over 2 years retail experience with a major high street retailer. BIG MISTAKE, so I moved to one the highest unemployment towns in the country where the University has 28,000 students and then wondered why I couldn't get a job!
I started applying for jobs a couple of months before I started Uni and six months and forty jobs later I had only had 1 interview and that was at the Uni SU which I didn't get.
I eventually got a part time casual job a few miles from home working in the bar for a sports club, so come home when I get a shift. A shift pays £55 and the train costs me £19.60 but I get a visit home, save some of my food money that week and have £35 spends left from the shift for a night out either at home or the borough.
I am now home for the summer and have just got a temp 12 week job at Tesco, if they offer me permanent either at home or a transfer to Middlesbrough I will bite their hands off. Six months at Uni with NO money was NO FUN.
