On JSA in Scotland but my specialised market is in England, can you advise me? :(?

[collective49]

I moved home to scotland after studying in England in motion graphics, i moved up here 4 months ago, had a job i enjoyed but the company closed and have been a bum ever since.

It is killing me.

When i search for what i specialise in, i get 2-4 results a week in scotland, if i switch that search to england i get around 20 a day....

I cannot seem to get a job at all and i have enquired about jobs down south, and have been given feedback but i dont have the money to do anything.

I know i could get a well paid job in England but i dont know how to relocate, £60 a week JSA wont pay for a ticket to London for an interview and even that aside, if i was successful, i dont have the money to pay everything up front until i get paid....

Is there any advice out there for me? I feel like im in a black hole of depression and my ticket out of this situation.... i cannot reach.

Thanks.

If you really are depressed, you need help with that first.

This might not be fair, but let me guess anyway. You'd be a lot less depressed if someone would lend you airfare and some running around money to get one of those jobs in England.

A nicely dressed fellow approached me in San Francisco once and needed $18 for train fare to a job interview across the bay. He showed me a listing of the interview. He took my address to repay me.

Two weeks later he stopped me again for a similar loan. He took off rather quickly when I reminded him of the first loan. He hadn't even recognized me. I suspect he made a couple hundred a day that way, at least. That's not a suggestion, by the by.

Now you might be sincere, so why don't you take some kind of part time jobs for an interview fund and work interview setups on line. For the part time stuff think about your talents, including ones not related to your usual work.

Also, what about Ireland? Last I heard that was the hot spot in the UK for that kind of stuff, not England. Isn't that so? If there's 60 jobs in England, there must be a couple hundred in Ireland.
