I only quoted sections of your post as I felt you contradicted yourself, if you don't agree fine.
I do understand pyra thankyou.
You say that in your own experience, that it is not easy to find employment. Do you mean that you are finding it difficult to obtain a job in your chosen field, and remain unemployed whilst you hunt?

What would prevent you from taking on temporary work in the interim - there are many many such vacancies via agencies that can be used to fill the gaps - as well as providing opportunities to you in fields that perhaps you would never have considered previously - as well as gaining new experience in different job roles.

Not patronising you at all Kizzy. I'm asking you for some contribution as to why you keep saying it is so difficult to find employment.

I'm asking you a question -that is a world away from being patronising.

Yep, that's normally how it normally works Kiz.

My questions were very clear. Perhaps the jobs you have applied for were not jobs that you were right for? Only you know the answer to that - and clearly, you aren't willing to discuss why you are being unsuccessful.

I also see that you avoided (again) any reply about the option of using agencies for temporary work in the interim and avoided any further dicussion on the merits and benefits of trying to secure work through such means .

Why on earth would I apply for positions I was unsuitable for pyra...
That would make no sense whatsoever would it?
I just did discuss why I was unsuccessful...I explained I did not get the job.
I have applied for temp work through agencies also, what do you suggest I try next?...A sandwich board perhaps?

It's a safe bet to say that if a person doesn't get the job that they were interviewed for, that they were unsuccessful.

I really am truly staggered to learn that you have applied for temporary work through agencies - yet appear have been offered nothing at all.

I honestly have to say Kiz that I have never known anyone who has registered with agencies for temp work, who has not been offered work. Now before you make any incorrect assumption: that is not a a slight on you lest you take it that way .

I do know of those who registered with agencies but rejected work offered to them because they did not agree with the salary they were being paid. perhaps agency work in Scotland is far more easy to secure?

Try defending your side of the argument instead of personally attacking the poster Omah.

Not at all, however if you wish to perceive it as so, you are free to do so.

It does nothing to negate the fact that despite public perception that it is so incredibly difficult to get work - this is not always the case - which is the fundamental basis of the discussion.
