#10 Job Searching.

Job searching is so hard, currently I attend the Burton and South Derbyshire College where I am studying Travel and Tourism but from the end of May/June onwards will be the end of my course, recently I have been applying for full time vacancies for jobs that I know I can do like receptionist work, administration, shop/store work and sales, ect.

I am thinking in a way that I should start applying for jobs where I can learn about a new industry such as manufacturing, finance or IT as jobs within those industries often have a higher salary than sales work but also require previous experience most of the time, I know that with some knowledge and practice that getting a good job is possible for myself.

Around the area I am living now I only plan on getting a job that lasts for around a year or so because I plan to move out when my girlfriend goes to university and have the money to rent nearby and get a new job at that location, so any experience and money I receive within the next year or so will be valuable.

If anybody has any tips on writing good covering letters or good websites to search on please let me know.

Thanks for reading.

#1 Introduction.

Hello my name is Daniel, I am 19 years old and I live in a small town near to Burton-on-Trent. 
I am currently studying a BTEC Travel & Tourism course at College until the end of June, by this time I hope to get full-time work quickly to fund driving lessons, items for myself and my girlfriend and I'm going to be putting a majority of the money aside for an apartment for when my girlfriend goes university to be close by to her, we have discussed and planned moving in together with some other people when it's her second year at university. 

I have been with my Girlfriend for just over 11 months now, we have exchanged promise rings as a sign of commitment and future engagement and marital plans with each other, we have both planned to move down London together someday, she is my one and I love her very much. 

I have an interest in Photography and I were hoping to do a media/photography course but when I applied at the local college my application was unsuccessful as my GCSE results were not up to their requirements, I had an online interview for sparksforyourlife.com a few months back because they liked my work and the interview got a lot of attention from people all over the world.

My blog will be a recap of my experiences in life.
