It took me about the same time to get a relavent job after I graduated.
I went to the job center once during that time. I thought I'd talk to someone while I was there. He kept on trying to give me information on courses I could take. I lost track of how many times I said I had the qualifications, it was the employment I was finding hard to get. So then he rang an employer of for a job that had CAD in the title (not listening to me pointing out I didn't have any of the engineering skills listed in the job description) then handed the phone to me. So I ended up apologiseing to the person on the other end of the line for wasting their time.
They don't know how to deal with someone who has an idea of where they are going. I didn't need help getting qualifications, and I certainly didn't need help in getting in touch with possible employers. Though to be fair most of the other people in there either were barely literate/could hardly string a sentance together either because they were chavs or not british born, and they do *need* someone to ring people up and ask about jobs for them.
