Good Afternoon!
With so much attention at the moment on the Economy, Unemployment and Political Rhetoric about the 'Work-shy' sponging benefits when they should be off to work I think it is important to try and put the opposite side of the story across.
My name is Chris Smyth and last year I graduated from the University of Warwick with a First Class degree in Economics. You would think that with a top qualification from a top University I would at least stand a chance of securing employment - not a chance.
In the 7 months since Graduation I must have applied to over 100 jobs of which about 10% bother to respond in any way and failed at interview on 3 occasions. It is all very well the Coalition setting out to punish those who have no intention of finding employment (and on the whole if you listened to an interview of 'Matt' on the BBC News Channel yesterday why ever we waste resources on people like him I don't know) but the majority want to work and need an Economy in which that is possible.
On this blog I hope to relay the actual story of what life is like at the moment in the real world. Life without a job is purposeless, demoralising and frankly I am wasting air right now.
Hopefully this will change but with the current course of the government appearing firmly entrenched I don't hodl out much hope!
