Andy is 24 and says, “I used to project-manage around 10 Aids projects in sub-Saharan Africa, but I was made redundant nine months ago. I signed on, and since then I’ve probably applied for around 50 jobs. I’ve never been picky about where I work, but I’ve had just two interviews. You’re looking at at least 100 applicants for every position, particularly the middle-ranking positions I’m going for. The job-seeking system isn’t really set up for graduates. The jobs they point me towards – and I have to apply for them – often aren’t particularly suitable. I’m in a much better position than many other people because I’ve been able to move back home. It’s a bit weird. I haven’t lived here since 2005 and all my friends have moved away. I don’t know that many people here any more.Andy is 24 and says, “I used to project-manage around ten AIDS projects in sub-Saharan Africa, but I was made redundant nine months ago.
