I've had similar before I left my last company.. Sure the cleaner hadn't unplugged what ever server etc AD is sitting on? Sounds silly but it has been found before.

I am off to London tomorrow! Xmas shopping a bit late! Tell me about it.. Just my luck to be honest. Oh well.. Things always happen for a reason! Well so I am told.

Ah Career change! What are you going for? I guess away from I.T.

Oh, I understand. Always need to fit Family in!

Oh I see! Good luck to you!

I emailed the guy last night.. at around 5 half 5 - 6. Had an email back from Nick saying I can't accept my CV as they had already selected some one and they accepted. "Hi David, Thank you for your interest in our job support technician’s position. Unfortunately I can’t consider you for the position as we made an offer to candidate yesterday who has accepted."

Typically, as I was in hospital, they had some one yesterday and they had accepted. Just my luck! Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it!

I am fine! Tough old boy I am Did you get my revised CV Witch?

I had an OP last night and the area is very sore.. I hate being cut open! But.. could have been worse! Yeah I am all fine. Just resting up and hopefully I'll be myself again soon! Thanks for your concern

Sorry I haven't replied, due to an annoying turn of events I was rushed to A&E and have spent the weekend in the hospital...

Thank you for the help! Chigwell is just outside of Brentwood. Pretty easy to get too I hope! Similar, but it was called SiS import. It's like a bog standard export from the Student information systems to notepad and format the data appropriately, to be used with the VLE. Pretty simple... Once you have the know how! Is that what your after? I am very confident as I have been doing it for some time I'll email the man in question and see where it goes. Thank you very much!

I sent my CV a while a go... Wondering if you got it okay? -David.

Just noticed you already have it. I'll send it as soon as. -David.

Hi Will, If I can have your email I will happily send it over to you. Thank you,

I wish I could say yes... But every last penny I had was used to commute to different locations and a lot up to London, which is so expensive! I had things to pay for and a lot of things I invested in didn't work out. I have put £90 in premium bonds... and still have £90 in there, and has stayed the same for the last year. Any money I do earn go's towards my mobile phone and transport. It's a harsh world when you turn 18... I wish I could rely on my family, but they haven't much either, what they have they save for emergencies, crisis's etc and cannot spare to help me a long.

@ Dhicks .. Yep I know! I know this area better then most... I used to go biking along every nook and cranny I could find. I could get you to Danbury just using footpaths.. Very very very muddy though, as they are mostly used by Farm vehicles and poxy horses... Sorry Witch I have been busy, I actually found a little work with my real Dads best friend, he said call him up when ever I need money or something to do! I shall post it over to you either this morning or afternoon matey. I have ( how stupidly of me not to figure this out ) But I am technically a VLE technician... I used to maintain and look after My Big Campus, for Lightspeed systems, for all the UK customers. I have been Google-ing a lot of work and trying to find VLE companies within the Essex Area and maybe out side of Essex, e.g London.... but Google isn't being very nice to me lately. What would you recommend? Keep searching as my skills are very varied and I do have a lot of varied experience within I.T, especially for my age ( just turned 19 ).

I am fairly near Chelmsford if the position is still available?

@hal No.. I've tried many times.. they don't get back to me. I make the effort to ring, and walk up there and I guess they don't need any one. The problem with cycling is that my roads are very dangerous, I've come off plenty of times on my mountain bike and christ it hurts. Especially in the snow... I have placed a flyer in my local grocery shop ( tried there too for a job ) and I haven't had a single call.. People want warranties and such when repairing the public's computers .. I'm good, but not that good I can't guarantee it to stay working for 3 years, as you know PC's just don't last. The aerodrome hasn't been running for years.. We had a partition go out talking about scraping for keeping it. I don't know what happened. It's just my mum unfortunately, I don't want anything to do with my step dad. That's where I am looking, Chelmsford, Witham, all areas under that sort of district. I'll PM my CV to you Witch. And I'll PM you Rad. Thanks for the advise and help!

@K.C I know this, its hard. Especially when you have to walk everywhere! I have been looking around for bar work and the such, but again my CV hasn't got an ounce of customer service based retail or bar work at all.

Tell me about! I am trying hard to pass the theory... but I get so nervous! I have one booked for the 23rd. So I hope all goes well. Driving is really my main concern, but with no money its harder to pass and get on the road... and with no means of transport, as my mum is at work 45+ hours a week she hasn't time to take me places. Parents can be selfish some times, we have been living here for nearly 10 years, but no thought about when we grow up... So any advice on passing my theory?

Afternoon all, My name is David and I am fully into I.T, and am struggling to find anyone who will hire me... I have been giving out around 8 applications a day for the last 2 months and no one has gotten back to me. I am 19 years old and live in Stow Maries... around half hour away from Chelmsford. Stow Maries has no transport, no trains or buses ( well buses every 2 and a half hours ) and I am currently working on getting my pink License. I did an apprenticeship in Chelmsford when I left school.. and I started it at 16, finished when I was 17 and flew through the course in 9 months ( course was for at least 12 months ) I got all the qualifications required for most employers to consider me. I had then later joined a company in Shenfield and I had a fantastic time there, I learnt so much, within the Windows platform and various other platforms, such as networking, Active Directory group policies and so on... there is so much I learnt I struggle to recede it all My problem lies with this.. I left the company due to a few problems and I have been really finding it hard to get a job... I have over 2 years experience working in I.T, from Hardware repairs to software diagnosis and I still can't find a job. I don't know if its my age a poorly written CV or what, but it sucks. Due my location there is very little work in the surrounding area's and as I am in the middle of NOWHERE transport is a huge problem. I am wondering if any one give me advice... I am really struggling here. Thanks, - David.
