Well heres the deal. I spend 8 years of my life getting a PhD in science and at the end of it I havent been able to get a job. Well thats not entirely true, I was able to get a job for a year with a government science institution but at the end they lost 50% of their funding so they couldnt keep me on. That was in September last year. Since then I have been trying to get a job somewhere in NZ but no luck. The job I had the most chance of getting and I was the most qualified person in NZ to do this job (they told me this after the interview) was given to an overseas person even tho employment laws state that they probably should have given it to me. What really got me grumpy was they asked me to wait a month so they could bring in this overseas person over for an interview, who they then gave them the job and didnt tell me for 2 months (no reply to my emails) until the immigration papers came through. Since then I have applied for 4 jobs and had no luck with them.
So apparently I know to much about nothing, and even worse its the wrong sort of nothing
:
Sorry to rant so much but if I dont get it off my chest every now and then I go crazy. So im thinking of changing careers, im quite good with computers tho I have no formal training. My husband suggested I try and find some computer courses I might find interesting and go for it. Ive just learnt how make webpages using HTML using a free on-line course so hopefuly soon I'll have my first webpage on the net.
