Time to hit the agencies - get sent anywhere, shitty jobs and money - but it's better than nothing.

Sorry about the lay off mate, that just suks.
Hang in there, one door shuts another opens, don’t start to sell the bike until a month before you have too as I had too once and I know the pain of a forced sale. :(

I must have applied for 120+ jobs online over 3 months to get this one I have now and I rejected a few crappy offers too, it is a great job that rewards me for all my qual's I got in the last recession we had to have.
But things are very quiet in our industry too atm which is a worry. But things always pick up again, just hope it is soon.

I use seek.com.au mostly and uploaded my resume to be stored there, easy peasy to attach it when you hit the apply button and i get half a dozen auto search hits sent to me daily for my profession ;)

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
