I agreed with the vast majority of the list too. Not entirely sure about 'doing new things all the time'. I would imagine as with all jobs, routine sets in.

I suppose the only comfort I can offer is that most places will have a University soon and they'll be more jobs going. That said, the University of Blackpool anyone?

Back to the theme, I do agree, it is a disappointing figure. Is it open to negotiation?

I tend to find the more important someone is the 'scruffier' they can get away with dressing. Accordingly, I'm a suit and tie man myself.

I too would be surprised if anyone could obtain a PhD studentship with lacklustre references. It may be prudent to look for an alternative referee.

The UK's about 5 minutes from a recession, so don't bank on finding a job here (regardless of what qualifications you have). If you're not an EU citizen, it all becomes many (MANY) times harder.

As suggested, find some jobs that interest you first, THEN see if you're eligible before anything else. No point wasting your time.

Bugger me. 1000 words a day. I tend to follow the (Dirk) Bogarde rule that 250 quality words a day is pretty much a maximum.
