Hi,

Recently (today) returned from a lovely holiday into a job I hate. Have been here for going on 4 years now and I've had enough (horrible working atmosphere and motivation through the floor). I've felt like this for a while now but put off leaving for various reasons.

However most of these reasons no longer apply so I'm on the hunt for a new job. The thing is I'm from a spoilt generation, since I have been working its always been relatively easy to find a job, but now there are so many candidates and very few jobs. How do you differentiate yourself from the others? My background is in IT (Network Admin and Project Management).

Thanks

Feel free to ask questions if needed.
