Visit over

Shattered.... Massive understantement. 2 nights not loads of sleep owell it was a good gig. Was singing karaoke last night which was hilarious!! The best fun in a while. Realised ive been well too miserable recently and people have been noticing! :s I don't mean to be but what with job hunting and shed loads of uni work I've just been really tired. I know what the problem is thou. My life isn't structured in you g from one thing to the next ad not focusing on any thing. I need to focus my energy on one thing and it will be sorted which is why I'm so glazed at them moment.

It's also been confirmed that the bar I work at is closing in two days time. Great tines not :(

Conference

Well in the last 24 hours I have managed to speak at my first academic conference with a paper written on the the paradox of compliance and choice and yes it was confusing.... Since that I am now working for the university on a residential trip. 21 year 11 pupils loud and brash decend on the uni for two nights and 3 days and yes I'm on nights:) it's great fun rele :) been bowling to te cinema and going to ask tonight :) and I get a nice comfy hotel room courtesy of holiday inn express :) it's awesome in fact :)


Not heard back from any jobs yet.... Why's it taking so long.


Oooo the bar want to talk more about the offer which is excellent. Never had to negotiate pay before lol!!! :)

Happy as Larry

Well  after working a 13 hour day  I didn't really feel like posting. so here i am now  all refreshed after a  really good nights sleep :) got up this morning and sewed a button onto my trousers :)  how  cool am  I and yes  mum  I managed to sew  a  button onto  something.... well there's  always a first time  for  something haha !!

on a  lighter  note last night at work was hilarious, worked with two great people. there was one  girl in and  i think she may have  been  feeling the early summer happiness because she  kept declaring her underling love  for me  :s  and  told  me  I was  well fit  and gorgeous, flattered I am really  but  just  laughable that she doesn't know the truth hehe ;)

Got an academic conference tomorrow so need to keep  working on my Paper, did  some  last  night when  i got in but  felt so tired so had to sleep.  should  probably stop  writing on this.

oh on the job front i have an email at work  so i will go and read that  and  let you know what it says :)

Sleep Time

Well  it is 10 past 1 in the morning, here i am  tired as  anything and  updating my brand new blog...  just got in from sed  bar  that i work at..... I moan about having to be  up  this  late/ early in the morning but  i love it really or else  i wouldnt even be  there.  You know what the loveliest girl  works  with me  she  will always  text  me  to  see how  I am...  just  a  shame  i'm not  interested in that way ;) haha !!

Right off to bed  i go i start  my next  job in 9 hours time and then  back to the bar in the  evening. the joy :)  but  i love  working :)  sad  really lol.

Night world of the blog

Offers on the table

Well... I just realised I haven't actually put anything about the stage I am at thus far. obviously i'm not going to name any of the companies and  I want it to be noted that I realise that the calibre for graduates is extremely high now. especially with the current job market.

So  starting at the beginning I applied for one job and failed on the comprehension round. They gave me 30 minutes to answer 40 questions (really???)
The second job applied for was a big department story apparently its of great importance to understand Eiensteins (sorry if that's spelt wrong :s) theory of relativity for a department store, I just couldn't remember the text.... as if in real life you wouldn't just have it in front of you :s

Have got a job offer working in quite possibly the coolest bar ever. just I wouldn't be able to afford to live anywhere near it and wouldn't be able to commute....  this  decision is pending as its an awesome opportunity.



Currently awaiting to hear back from about 5 potential employers fingers crossed xx

Day One

I should probably start by telling you a bit about myself. I am a 21 year old, pretty average guy. I don't suppose many people will even care to read this. But I am going to write this anyway. I am currently in my third year of study at The University of Lincoln. I am studying for a Management degree. To be honest my degree is AWESOME!!!!  (and yes the use of capitals was completely necessary) My tutors are pretty cool.... and my Diss tutor is amazing :) no doubt there will be more on her greatness in the future.

I am hoping to graduate from uni with a 2:1 but a 1st is not too far off the horizon hopefully :) Either would be an achievement in my eyes considering that I work 3 jobs (more on that to come (and yes i did just say i have 3 jobs)) I work at a lovely little bar in the centre of Lincoln and have had some amazing nights there. I also work in a clothes shop and everyone there is great too. I also work for my uni, that's cool too cause i get to work with kids who have the potential to go to uni and its fantastic telling them how good it all is :)

Wow I can waffle. Right employment number one.... Retail shop assistant/sunday manager at same shop :) is pretty cool. Employment numero two.... duty manager at the bar sadly this is closing down :(   but.....you see prospective employers.... bags of management potential (I joke but in all seriousness I have a full CV and I feel that by demonstrating my thoughts via blog  then  I may get heard by someone :) )


One last note......  Consider this The Julie and Julia of Graduate job hunting :) a day by day step by step real life account of the struggles that a graduate may or may not go through to find a job :)
