You're either applying for the wrong jobs or doing something wrong with your 
CV or covering letter then.  I think I mentioned in another thread, take 
your GCSE results off your CV for starters.

Why don't you post your CV and covering letter here and I'm sure a few 
people will volunteer some helpful feedback.  After that you can take into 
account whatever advice you choose to and work with that.  I understand if 
you don't want to though, I wouldn't want to :-)

It's just plain incorrect that you won't be able to find another job 
elsewhere, think of all the other people who are *way* less skilled than 
you, they manage to find jobs ok.

BTW I just did a very quick search on Monster.co.uk by typing in "backup IT" 
and it gave this job:

http://jobview.monster.co.uk/GetJob.aspx?JobID=77477279

I would say if you don't get an interview for that job you are doing 
something seriously wrong on your CV or covering letter.  And because you 
have several years experience, I think you could easily ask for and expect 
to get the 25K salary.

What's stopping you?
