Well this is quite a chilling and depressing look to the position I'll inevitably find myself in, 3 months from now....
I've not even applied to any jobs yet, might do an MA to postpone the situation!
You can't postpone this situtation I am afraid. The UK employment market will not recover, not to what I (49) enjoyed, it's gone overseas or been automated, we won't be able to buy our own produce again. There is an definite refusal of the government, media and academic sectors to aknowledge this, a denial of reality, graduates will face worse next year and the year after that and.......
Another thread maybe, but for the West, the way forward is for lower living standards and shared jobs, 3 day a week positions.
Adasta, everybody is giving out CV's, we are a tiny company but must get 50 a week. Do it another way, you can have 5000 A5 colour leaflets produced for £60-70, your pics, short CV and at present I'd wager that they'll make more of an impact than just "another" CV.
Good luck
