Jobs again

So far, one way or another I have applied to:

*KPMG - European ACCA Audit scheme
*KPMG - ACA Audit scheme
*British Council - Language Assistant in France (Paris, Nancy or Nantes)
*AXA - Human Resources scheme
*World Challenge - Overseas Leader Recruitment Assistant
*P.A.B Recruitment - Graduate Trainee Recruitment Consultant
*Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) - Services Delivery
*GCL Direct - Graduate European Language Career Opportunity
*British Council - Project Assistant Internship in Bogota, Colombia!

Not doing any more applications till after graduation when will be eligible to apply to Graduate for Business in the North East and the National Graduate Development Programme. Events management, Project management and Hopsitality also appeal. Careers lady suggested I wait until at least graduation if not the autumn, to recommence applications. Not heard back from half of the above, yet!

Careers lady also thinks that from what I told her, I should consider 2 options:
1) Go to France next year, do the teaching assistantship, and use my stay in France as an opportunity to network, knock on doors etc for a possible job in France afterwards and stay there
2)Take a 'year out' next year, gaining 'business and commercial awareness' in the UK by working for any old firm, before applying for a 2009 graduate training business-related scheme in a competitive company (having practised more numeracy tests!) with a view to possibly moving abroad in the future.

Tonight is the Modlangsoc National Stereotypes pub-crawl, but I'm not going. Going to the docs tomorrow, cos I'm always exhausted and I don't know why!
