my wife appiled by email for must have been 100 jobs, mostly in the nhs, over a 4 month period, she got a few interviews, but all turned her down.. she speaks excellent english, had a degree in biology and medicine, but some said she was over qualified and even said sorry that they didnt read her CV proplerly, she took the medical degree off her CV, and said she done 3 yrs at med school, and finally she got interview working as a senior assistant techinal officer, she basically takes blood from people, its part time, pay is ok,
you just have to keep trying, no one owes you anythnig, if you want it, got to keep trying......
good luck...
