Default Re: Graduate seeking quick career advice!

Wow, some good advice people thanks. I'm not sure if "craigslist" is as popular here in the UK but I could always use the freelance directories people mentioned earlier or even facebook.

Thanks for the honesty with regards to the grammar. I think the reason for my grammatical laziness yesterday is because I was fed-up from writing 10-15 "different" forwarding letters, (not templates, which to my annoyance I really try not to do now) and online applications everyday, where companies expect long essay-like answers to different questions! So you can understand it gets a bit frustrating so from time to time I find myself writing the most random, awful English. But I should really be at the stage where I can write good grammar and spelling without having to check or be conscious of it and it does make the difference between employers thinking you’re a capable person or an imbecile, so you’re right.

Anyway thanks again all, you’ve all been very generous with your time.
