[QUOTE="LawBrah, post: 169662, member: 28051"] RE The Postgraduate job debate What you really want is a job/volunteering role etc. that in reality has minimal or has very flexible hours that you put down on your CV as your current occupation. This allows you to have both the significant time necessary to secure a TC in this ridiculous market, and avoid the "so what have you been doing since graduating" which WILL come up imo frequently, including via the "tell us about yourself" question and others. For example, a zero hours hospitality job where you can take 2 weeks off on demand to apply and prep for ACs (and attend the ACs themselves), or a volunteering position where you choose your own hours, and then go into an AC with "Barista Supervisor" or "Research Volunteer" as your current job is imo the best position to be in. Real challenge of course is finding these positions and even harder to find ones that are particularly impressive. [/QUOTE]
