It’s the phrase that seems permanently etched on my lips, that I’m sure my friends, family and boyfriend are sick to the back teeth of hearing.
My name is Laura, I graduated in 2010 from Cardiff University with a 2:1 English Literature and I'm still desperately unemployed.
I'm not here to rant about how dreadful it is that I can't find a job after all the money I spent on my degree. Or how internships are one step up from child labour bla bla bla, as I'm happy to admit that I chose a hard industry to get into and I may not have quite utilised my time wisely while at university (more on that in the next blog). However, I've learnt from my mistakes and I'm most certainly paying for them.
I can't remember what a pay check looks like. I've spent a whole 8 mind-numbing hours organising a magazine cupboard. I've been told to re-make a deputy editors cup of tea again as she was "freaked out by the bubbles." I've been sent blindly around London looking for a very obscure trade magazine only to find that it didn't go on sale until the next day.
I'm just asking for a break.
So this blog is to take some of my time up during these long, boring days and to document my new hobby of cooking and making homemade hampers (no, I didn't think it would come to this either when I left uni). And most importantly to stop me from having an unemployed induced mental breakdown.
Ciao for now folks!
