Anyone else struggle to be motivated ?
Discussion
So I graduated from university in 2013 with a 2:1 honours degree in business. Since graduating I kept my part time job at a food supermarket going till I found a job. Last June I left and had a summer internship till October. After that I was unemployed right through to the end of January. I was able to get a temporary job for 6 weeks and finished that at the beginning of March. Currently I do 8 hours at the local car auction to get in some money and to avoid signing on.
It just seems like there is not much opportunity for graduates these days. What doesn't help is I live in glasgow and I don't want to relocate therefore this makes it more of a challenge. Really don't know what the future holds at all. I thought having a degree would guarantee me a steady job rather than all this temporary work.
I find it hard to keep motivated about the situation. When I get interviews I prepare and usually have a good one in my view. 9/10 you hear nothing back.
Anyone else been in this position and how did you get out it ?

Thanks for the replies. It's amazing since posting this thread i have been to 3 job interviews out of the blue. Not the sort of jobs i want to do exactly but something to get the cash coming in for a while. Each of them is temporary (they are all office based positions) but even if i get a few months of work out then that will always be handy for the CV. I am just at the point now that i want to have a good steady job and earn a good wage. My plan is to try get a job like this and then try to either work me way up or get a better position. All this unemployment and working 8 hours a week is no use. I am bored and just want things to pick up.
With regards to relocating, its just something that doesn't appeal to me. Mainly due to the costs associated with having my own place and being away from family/friends. Don't get me wrong though if someone came along and offered me a great opportunity that involved moving out and the pay was good i would go for it
