I am sorry but i have to say this, being jobless for 1 year for a graduate is basically loser. I hope you do spend time upgrading yourself or do a part time job for 1 year. Nobody going to hire you if you jobless for 1 year.
In the mean time working in goverment sector you should have very nice 9-5 job.
Spend some time upgrading yourself for a better job. Show you are competitive to other.I guess your gf will see the future if you change now. The longer u in gov sector the harder you jump out to private.
