Many thanks to all-as for jobs, no there are none in my area, or at the trust I've trained at. at the moment all the jobs seem to be down south or in Manchester, and I think all the students that have trained there will get them (which is fair enough I suppose!), unfortunately it doesn't help me or my mortgage situation out!!
I have applied anyway, and have sent a personal statement to my trust showing an interest should a job come up.
There are jobs in Liverpool too, but the commute is just too far for me, however I feel I would gain invaluable experience there!!
The competition is fierce, but at least more and more jobs seem to be cropping up on an almost daily basis.
We didn't get any help with our personal statement, CV portfolio etc...
I just have to try and write the best one I can, in fact tonight is going to be spent applying for another job and attempting to do my CV!!!
Thanks for the encouragement though!!
