My job hunting has had very little success since I last posted. The area seems to have an abundance of apprenticeship courses, but I can't qualify for any of them, despite been a UK born national, because I need to have spent a minimum of three years in the country prior to application to be considered. So, that leaves me with only call centers and cleaning jobs that don't require a driving license to choose from, but such vacancies are few and far between. I can't even apply for most college courses under the same rule.
It's hard out there for a pimp job hunter.
So that leaves me with one viable option. Well, two if I can stomach prison food and fashion a shank out of a bar of soap. a career in the armed forces~ More precisely, the Royal Navy, since I don't like spiders. I have an appointment set up for the initial interview in two weeks. Or three. It depends on an upcoming bank holiday. I'm gonna shoot for something engineery, that way I can get paid to learn something I'm already interested in~
My only obstacles are a grade transcript form that has yet to arrive and the dreaded physical fitness test, which requires a lot more cardio than actual strength, it turns out. So that's how I've been spending my time between job hunting, by exercising six days a week. Picking up heavy things then putting them down again for extended periods of time and stuff.
All that repetitive motion has done wonders for my chest and shoulders~ But my arms still lack something to be desired. But, that should be behind me, in six to twelve months. The whole navy recruitment process can take up to eighteen months, but it's still a whole lot faster than my other options.
Wish me luck~
Yoji~
