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 February. 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 ?
