I know how you feel mate. I was sacked in April and haven't been able to find any work. I've tried bloody hard too. Try and look for something like an apprenticeship or a trainee position that will give you employment once you've completed the training. That's what I plan on doing once I get my drivers licence.

A friend of mine has been going into work every day for the last couple of weeks expecting to be told she's out of a job, it's just a matter of time apparently.   Must be a terrible feeling.  The company was flying high a year ago and now it's on the verge of collapse - amazing how quickly this is all happening.

Sorry to hear that, it's a real bad feeling

I know it's not a good time to say it but hopefully in the not too distant future you will be able to view I as an opportunity

Bad news matey, hopefully you'll find something ASAP. At least you've got something that the students haven't....experience at doing some bloody work :lol:

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. What is it you do?
As mentioned above one thing Graduates don't have is real world experience so if that counts in your line of work. I work in IT at a Uni and if we had the choice we would always try to give the nod to a guy without a degree but substantial real world experience over a fresh graduate, it's just the way it is.

Yeah, really sorry to hear that. I've been made redundant 3 times over the years - I guess lots of people here have similar tales - and it's always sh1t when it happens, we know what you feel like...

So far, I've always survived it - but I know hearing that doesn't really help at the time though :(

Sorry to hear that mate. One word though: Plumbing.

I'm thinking of doing it myself, I only just survive every month, am constantly in my overdraft and my job is far from secure. Gonna spend the last of my dough wisely and pay for a Plumbing qualification. No matter how fast technology advances, people will ALWAYS need plumbers and they earn £££££££££'s these days. Honestly, do it now, you'll be thanking me in a year!    :D

I always wanted to do carpentry but Plumbing earns more so I'm doing that. I'm Arachnophobic but I'm willing to fight it off when going through those crawl-spaces for the pay, hehe.
