Can I put "caught all 150" on my CV?

My life has become a life of cover letters and crossed fingers. I'm not asking for much, just enough to pay the rent and keep me well stocked with pasta and Wheetos. I'm university educated, with an A-grade academic record, and a year's worth experience in marketing and admin, so its not like I'm a completely lost cause, but all my endeavours are proving useless. I'm about a finger's worth away from just donning a billboard and marching down Shaftesbury Avenue, shouting out my CV like an under-qualified Town Crier.

I'm stuck in that Catch-22 which so many of my fellow graduates are also caught in. I can't get a job because I haven't got the appropriate experience, but I can't gain the XP without a job. I'm like the magikarp trapped in the pokeball, I could be a fricking gyrados if they'd only let me try.

So here we go.

It's always difficult, beginning at the beginning. I always leave my essay introductions until the end, but I can't do that on here, unless Matt Smith feels like lending me his Tardis. Starting with a bang is all well and good, but when the dust settles, will your little blog live up to expectations? I don't know to be honest. I am cursed with a youtube-attention span, and other projects have come and gone with barely a whimper over the years.

Perhaps it's better to begin in media res, but that's kind of the whole point. In media of what res? I'm just one more middle class twenty-something graduate, back with the parents after a fruitless year of job hunting and moping about.
