Hello there! I obtained a First in my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 2005 and a 2:1 in my Master of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies in 2006. I have been doing administrative work (first, as Asst Coordinator of Marketing, subsequently, as a legal secretary and personal assistant) since the completion of my Masters and cannot even secure an interview in my field. I have applied for well over 100 jobs in the last year, from research positions to various jobs in the NHS but to no avail. The only positions I seem to be considered for are basic administrative positons. I am longing to begin my career in the social sciences field and would like to pursue research in the psychology field in particular. Does anyone have any pointers or advice with regard to my situation? Thanks!
