Where are the AP posts in the dorset and hampshire area!?!
Hi everyone, I'm just about to graduate and have been searching for AP posts daily! Anyone know of any that are about to come up or the time of year they are most likely to be posted?! It can be quite disheartening, especially as there are quite a few up north where I went to uni!!! AHH!

Local AP jobs
It sounds pretty obvious ... but are you registered with the NHS jobs website (www.jobs.nhs.uk)? There are currently a lot of AP jobs on there (admittedly not all of them are down South, although there are some). You can also get the site to email you whenever a new AP job is posted to save you having to check the site regularly. Hope that might be of some help?

Sorry I can't help any more than this, but I think what you're doing is the right thing - just have a list of the different websites you can check daily in your Favourites, and then also try to get hold of the Southampton/Bournemouth Echo on a Thursday and/or Saturday when they advertise jobs. (I assume there are other papers more west-country, but don't know of them...)
Have you managed to get work experience during your degree too? It's just most people tend to find it very difficult going for AP posts straight away, so any kind of relevant work experience would be good.
