Anybody know of any Jobs?

Hope this gets you some leads but the sad fact is that there are very few automotive jobs in the North West and still fewer that will take you on except in an IT role without an engineering, management or finance degree. If your happy to move though, take a look on Autosports website at the jobs on there, try sites like Mclaren, Williams and Prodrive as they are recruiting a right old mixed bag of people and there might be something in there IT based (dont know what uni you went to but Prodrive seem to be very picky about the Uni's they will recruit graduates from) and generally have a trawl around jobsite etc (I posted my CV on there and have had loads of interest from agencies that seem genuinely interested). Oh, try M-sport in cumbria too, I havent heard the best things about how they hire and fire (buyers market for them) but they might have something?

M-Sport is based literally 2 mins from my house, it tends to be a very local thing working for them. I.e. you have to be local or know someone who is local in order to have a shot at getting a job

Might try actually listing what areas of IT you have experience in, it's quite an expansive field as you know and it's good to be exact where you can.  Pitch your self with the skills and experience you do have, don't go quoting you have experience to offer, with only one year in IT your still a noob and employers may be put off by arrogance!  Put yourself in a recruiters position and think if they had a post, what sort of things they would be looking for.  Emphasise on your collaboration, communication and literacy skills, this is often a missing trait in many an IT professional and will get you ahead of others with more experience.
