I looked for a while, sent CVs, talked to agencies, companies, HR people etc etc... and in the end I got pissed off and decided that rather than sitting on my arse waiting for the lucky break to come along, I'd go back and get a qualification.
Currently doing an Engineering HNC, which should turn into an HND (if enough people stay on) and then I'll look again at work. If nothing doing, then I'll probably end up going to Uni for another couple of years... course I'm doing actually is Oil/Gas industry focused and has ties with various companies that offer graduates positions at the end of the HNC.
Cheers,
Grant
