A Sad Update

Me again, hitting you up twice in one day, I wonder what I could have to say… We didn’t get the flat. The landlord went with another couple who apparently have held their jobs for 3-4 years. That’s all fine and good for that couple but might I ask just where am I going to get the opportunity to start that part of my life. If any of you may know of a nice flat to live in then please, feel free to…

A New Hope

And no, I don’t mean Star Wars Episode IV… However I am coming to you with a new hope. After spending 2 days running around the Putney area like a headless chicken, attending flat viewing after flat viewing, I have put an offer in to rent a flat! (Apparently that’s how London works, you have to offer a rental price…) Anyway, I am waiting to hear back and hopefully should know within the week if I…

The Job Hunt

A wee moan. Isn’t it just great when you lose track of how many jobs you’ve applied for and have received only 1, ONLY 1!, ‘we regret to inform you…’ If someone else would care to respond to tell me I have been unsuccessful it would be much appreciated.

The Retreat

My my London, you are expensive… Much like the Jacobites in 1745, I marched south only to retreat – from fear of bankruptcy. For the next 10 days you will find me in my warm family home, where food is in abundance in the fridge and I can live out of a whole room not a drawer. I have some event work lined up in Scotland (thank God) and only when funds are assessed and strength is regained I will…

The Job Hunt

So many applications, so little responses… I’ve been applying for jobs left, right and centre. Job sites such as Indeed and Production Base are a massive help with so many graduate specific options. But one trend seems to be appearing and that would be One Year Experience Required … Let me ask you, the internet, how can one person be fresh out of university, applying for a position directed at…

The House Hunt

You’d think that there really would be an abundance of options for places to live in London, but when you are trying to filter that down to a cheap enough rent, in an area you want, where you have your own room, and a full week rent (not Mon-Fri), then your choices become … limited. It will be three weeks this Saturday since I moved down south to temporarily stay with my boyfriend in Henlow,…

So, a bit about me then...

So, a bit about me then…

So my name is Yvie, I’m 22 and I’ve just graduated Glasgow Uni with a degree in Film and Television Studies (great career options, I know…) I’m trying to move to London to find a studio job or something in my field for 6 months, before returning to my studies early next year to do a masters degree at MET Film school in Ealing. Thus far the house/job hunt has been more of a struggle than you might…
