admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:01:44 +0000

Class of 2010 told to consider flipping burgers or shelf stacking to build skills as they also compete with last year’s graduates Graduates are facing the most intense scramble in a decade to get a job this summer, as a poll of employers reveals the number of applications for each vacancy has surged to nearly 70 while the number of available positions is predicted to fall by nearly 7%. The class of 2010 have been told to consider flipping burgers or stacking shelves when they leave university as leading firms in investment banking, law and IT are due to cut graduate jobs this year. Competition in the jobs market is fiercer now than for the first “post-crunch” generation of students, last year, when there were 48 applications for each vacancy.

It can be chaotic when you go in and everyone’s bewildered. You have to get the trust of everyone, including the dog I have been a Marie Curie nurse for 10 years, looking after terminally ill people in their own home.

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 20:18:16 +0000

Armed officers from six forces searched Newcastle and the surrounding area, trying to track down the 37-year-old The hunt intensified tonight for Raoul Moat, the Newcastle bodybuilder suspected of killing one man and seriously injuring his former girlfriend and a police officer in a shooting spree, as it emerged that police were warned he wanted to cause serious harm to his ex-partner before he allegedly struck. Armed officers from six forces searched Newcastle and the surrounding area, trying to track down the 37-year-old, who friends and acquaintances said would not give himself up easily and was likely to prefer to be shot by police. Amid fears that Moat could strike again, police mounted at least two operations in which they arrested the wrong people.
