Ok so it means I am more of a leech off society as a whole but it saves a little cash a month which is nice.
I don't imagine anyone who knows you believes that.

On a side note, been short-listed for interview for a warehouse job. It will be packing computer components and computers up for sending out as well as basic software jobs on the PC's before leaving. A job that I can do with my eyes closed, so hopefully I won't cock it up in the interview like I always seem to do. All very well people saying sell yourself, but when faced with lack of confidence it is hard to sell yourself well.
Good luck. It's not easy but have you ever bought anything from someone who didn't seem very confident about it? That's effectively what you'd be asking an employer if you can't be confident in your ability to do the job and the other things you feel you have to offer. All you have to remember is that they liked you enough to grant you an interview so nothing in your CV was significantly offputting. The rest is down to you but it'll help if you show you know something about the company and its business. If there has been mention of promotion potential in due course then it'd be good for you to have some thoughts as to where you'd ideally see yourself going and what you could add to the company. However if this really is just a job with nowhere else to go, you'd probably be wise not to stress your eagerness to move onwards and upwards just yet.
