Yay Distinction, boo over and under qualified
by Jim on Oct.30, 2008, under The real world, university
Woo, finally recieved my final mark. Thanks to a nice (or should that be agonising suspense from a?) text message and later some sneaky student taking photographs of the results board. I was nowhere to be seen, as I couldn’t be arsed to drive 60 miles to find my results. Is it worth me repeating my grade?
On the flip side, as not everything can be rosy, I tried to get an easy job. After what must have been the easiest interview I have ever had, I was deemed overqualified. That really is annoying… as anything (well apart from working in a coffee shop) will do.
Applied for a ton of IT jobs, but I fear my non-existant experience really hinders me…
Strangely enough a temping agency turned me down, as I had no recent office experience (quite obvious really, I have been busy at university this past year…) What was annoying was that I had been advised by friends and family that this would be the best way to gain aforesaid experience.
The job hunt continues…
Oh and yes, I know I incorrectly spelt underqualified and overqualified in the title.
