Yesterday I did a large amount of laundry, cleared up about half the bedroom, registered with a doctor, and visited two job agencies. This is good. The job agencies were not, however, very helpful, and I am getting increasingly panicky about not having any work.

I have been looking for permanent work, given that I am available for at least a year. I just can't find any, or any agency that will be any use for me. I am worried that the jobs on my CV are all too short-term. I don't want another job where I have to timesheet every week, and where I won't get interesting tasks and responsibilities because I'm just a temp.

What do I need to know about jobcentres? I'm not registered unemployed, I am living on savings and handouts from parents, and I don't necessarily want benefits. I just don't know what I can do.

Select told me they had a permanent job which might suit me, kept me hanging around for a week and a half, and then told me I hadn't been shortlisted by the company. Brook Street will make me register and sign an exclusive contract with them before I know they have work for me, which I am unimpressed by, as if they don't have anything for some time I'm screwed. Office Angels have my CV and will call me if they find anything, but the consultant was a little dubious about the length of my previous posts.

I have been jobsearching online, and there are a couple of jobs at the University of Reading which might suit me, but I applied for one of those before (Classics SEcretary) and the application form is hell on wheels. I guess I'll have to try it again, though. There's also a post with West Berkshire council, but that's in NEwbury, and a medical admin post, but that's in Crowthorne. I have no transport.

I am panicking. If anyone can help calm me down, I would appreciate it.
