It is easier than ever to apply for jobs and tremendously hard to get one, well done. I think running has improved my character, because I know when something is hard, like getting up a hill, I need to just plod on. Let us know how it goes

Congratulations upon the appointment to your new role. Don't forget to keep running, though, since the activity will help towards maintaining a steady head, allowing thoughts to be processed, as one foot is placed in front of the other.

Congratulations! I too have been job hunting - since November. Loads of interviews, but no job yet. Rather limited, living on the North Norfolk coast! But it was being at home that decided me to do something constructive, hence C25k. I'm almost hoping now that I don't find anything in the next three weeks, til I've finished the course, as I've got into a nice routine 😀

You'll get there, ANewMe - from the name you've given yourself it sounds like you are determined to :-) I'm quite fatalistic and believe the jobs I haven't got weren't meant for me, and my perfect job will turn up when the time is right. And in the meantime it gives me time to sort out other areas of my life - like health and fitness. I'm sure the same applies to you.

Just like twins!! I too have done the C25K - now running 5k 2-3 times each week, shed 1 stone 8 lbs - another 4 stone 9 lbs to go, happier and healthier! Those were 2 of my targets when I joined the forum back in Jan - only that illusive job to secure to get me my last target...xx

Good luck all job hunters. never give up hope and don't be disappointed . its about finding the job that fits experience. got my fingers crossed for you :)

Seeing as I am starting my new job end of month I am going to start my batch cooking. easier and convenient as i will work every other day so days off will b spent batch cooking for work days. looking forward to it to be honest as I used to make loads then slipped into junk food habit. now am back on track with weight etc am starting from scratch. and although it is 8 month off my mam has said she is buying me a fruit/veg box too
