Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted March 31, 2009 It's tough out there, I know a lot of recent graduates who are having a tough time finding work even for so called stable careers. i'd think about doing graduate school or supplementing your education with a practical degree/diploma from a community college or something if I were you.

Curly Posted April 1, 2009 ^^^ Here's a couple great website for you http://beta.civilser vice.gov.uk/ http://www.jobsgopub lic.com/ Remember that the majority of local and central government vacancies don't take CVs. The important bit is your personal/supporting statement, the key is look at the personal specification and to be precise and concise with your answers for each. You don't need to make it flow just say that how you're able in each criteria and give examples of how you've gained the relevant skills and knowledge. It's a full proof way of getting shortlisted for an interview the rest requires you to read up in the relevant field. Experience is crucial and that sometimes involves a bit of padding...but you're a graduate so research and you'll know what they want to hear! Here's an example: ----------------- Skills & Abilities- Data manipulation and interpretation My degree was extremely analytical and I have developed strong skills in data extrapolation and manipulation to identify trends and to interpret raw data, specifically in biosciences and epidemiology. I am able to use a range of techniques and methods to aggregate analyses data. I am familiar with the use of health and data indicators as published in the Compendium of Clinical Indicators and other mediums. Whilst working in xxxxx we received datasets and raw data of births in the local area to input into our database and identify our target audience and trends. --------------- I would encourage you to sort jobs in the public sector, in these difficult times job security is important. Goodluck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
