    A lot of driving jobs are van sales roles so if you have experience in this area (retail, sales, etc) make sure you have it highlighted on your cv. I only got my C licence in may and was lucky enough to get a driving job (van sales) by november.

    Maybe try and get the artic and/or bus licence next so you could have more options to apply for.

    With regards experience hold tight and somebody will give you a shot.
