I'm shortly due to finish my course which I was told was quite an in demand profession. I absolutely love it and have been reassured through university that jobs would come up by February and there's been nothing in my field at the band I need to start on (band 5)
I have waited till mid May but I'm reluctant to keep dipping into my savings so I'm thinking I'll have to just go for any job until jobs in my specific profession come up.
Has anyone else had this experience? How did you manage to bridge the gap if so? I'm 35 and have two children so desperately need some work!

Im slt and want to work with children, ideally social communication! All my placements bar one have been adult as adult just didn't grab my interest as much!
Mental health - I also like this area to but again nothings up currently - I'm wondering if it's a bad time of year to look!?

I did think of private work but would anyone want to work with me as a newly qualified?
