Rantings of an outgoing persian

Yes I am now the grand age of 21+1 = 22. Don’t feel any different.

Plans for the week:

• Deadmau5 at the Roundhouse
• Party at Reflex
• An audience with Stephen Fry

I have learnt that persistence and spreading your net is the most important thing. When I became unemployed in july and moved back home; I had to look for a new job and went for lots and lots of interviews.

Well I did what most people do: look at the news and the bleak stats was initially quite daunting. But I was not going to let that stop me.

So I sent CV’s, lots of them and nothing was happening. Then I tweaked it and kept sending. I signed up to agencies, which I had a mix experience with (I’ll write about that in a bit).
I decided to then change my tactic and mix them all and take every opportunity going, online face2face and the phone.

I felt at times I was repeating myself and saying the same things to the same questions and yes it annoyed me. My only solace was, I knew I will get a job.

And it paid off.

since I could hold my head up high. No, I am not going to quite a staind lyric at the blogosphere. That would just be painful. But it has been far too long.

Well the main piece of news is that I have graduated now and have now joined the rising army that is unemployment. Now I am not really sure how to look at it. I see things on the news about people never getting into work and just relying on handout, but also then people who actively use the services provided to get themselves back to work.

Now I am definitely in the latter category. I am using all tools to my disposal and so should everyone else.

I dont know if this video is a great idea about how to attract more voters, or is absolutely cringe-worthy. Because let’s face it,only a few white people can rap. well.

So i am sitting listening to paolo nutini, wondering what has occurred over the last couple weeks. Well It has been interesting. I have a new job which i start on monday and I have moved to central london.
Most people are still relaxing in thier unis. Not me. I went out and grabbed it by both hands.

This is not like, the current government. People are leaving left right and centre. Brown is now being criticised for being too harsh. This does echo, though his tv appearance on Andrew Marr where he emphasised rooting out the problems and the culture that has developed.

Yet I fear this has gone on for far too long and the election tomorrow is merely a sideline event in the grand scheme of British politics. Only now, the day before the election, is there a push for votes. This not bode well for the turnout or even the support of the 3 big parties. Some say this produces diversity for other parties. I can agree with that, if they were not of a extremist disposition. The BNP has jumped on the bandwagon and the party vacuum. There have been outcries but only the results will determine if it has been successful.

I think personally that UKIP and the Greens are the main breadwinner of this whole fiasco and are the actual tenets of change. They are the main critique for the EU parliament, yet whether they serve the Uk interests is down to future interactions.
