First off, sorry for being so needy! I really appreciate all the help and support. Hopefully I'll be able to pass it on.
I just wondered if anyone had any advice for what to say If I'm asked why I'm applying for jobs a lot below my grade/experience and how to reassure interviewers that I am applying because I want to, not because I'm being made redundant? How do I show I'm committed and won't leave when something better comes along?
The truth is, I have completely lost my confidence after an awful few years professionally and need a bit of a "turn up, do something that doesn't require much thought and go home" while I lick my wounds job. I can't do this while maintaining my current level although I probably would be pickier about applying for jobs if I had a permanant job. Obviously I would do any job to the best of my ability regardless.
I also want to spend a bit of time deciding what my next move is but obviously still need to pay the bills.
If something better does come along then I would consider leaving.
I don't think saying that would go down well in an interview though!
