The jobs market is very bloated. I heard from a colleague at work who applied to the EH Historic Environment Management Traineeship that there were 950 applicants.
Lets face it, there are all those already out of work, those about to be out of work and those graduating hoping to find work. Just too many people and too few jobs, although I admit more are being advertised as we have hit the new financial year. I doubt it will last and in a few months time we'll be back down to a trickle until things really pick up properly.
I'm currently looking for work and I have to say I haven't had much luck. Maybe I'm really bad at application forms or maybe there is just too much competition. Either way I'm just hoping things will pick up. The recession is biting hard, not just for field staff but others too. Everyone is looking to make savings and heritage is considered a bit of a luxury.
I just keep imagining what we could do with all the money these MPs are paying back!
