Agent Joy

The lack of work thing is starting to get boring. And not a little stressful. There are some jobs around, but the competition is fierce, and the hiring managers are getting ludicrously demanding. Must have degree from Oxford, speak five languages, be able to work 28 hours a day, perform every role on the project simultaneously, and come round to clean my house and cook me breakfast before work everyday.

The application process is also taking forever. Apply for roles; wait 3 weeks to hear anything at all; get told they had 12000 applications, and you aren't getting any interview any time soon (for which read never). Agents no longer answer their phones and job ads state that you should apply and if they think you're worthy they might call you, but DON'T call them cos they don't want to speak to the great unwashed.

Renovations are going better however; maybe that's a better career option?
