Title: Oh FFS..on the job hunt again Post by: boldie on July 23, 2008, 10:39:46 PM Well, the projects I am working on at the moment are coming to an end and in it's infinite wisdom the company that bought the company I work for over a while ago has decided to sack everyone that was with our company so it's back to the old job hunting thing for me as I'd much rather not join the long queue of the unemployed.
What a massive pain in the arse the next few weeks are going to be; Where the hell am I going to find a job that let's me post on the Blonde Forum all day and still pays good money? Title: Re: Oh FFS..on the job hunt again Post by: scotty2hatty on July 23, 2008, 10:41:39 PM I, too, am on the job hunt. Looking for my first job after graduating and it is pretty tough.

CV, covering letters, etc etc its a shitty feeling not working I m OK with not working...in fact if I had the money I wouldn't as I can think of plenty other things I would rather be doing..but I have bills to pay and all that and it'd kill me not to earn as much as MrsB (It's a male pride thing) or be able to take care of "my family" (no kids but you know what I mean) so can't afford not to find a decent job. The problem for me seems to be getting an interview, if I get that people will hire me as (believe it or not) I am actually shit hot at my job. Apparently there are 250 applications for every job advertised online..I am overqualified for just about every single one of the ones I am interested in and don't have enough experience to get a 50k a year job in certain fields (nor am I looking for one to be honest). I don't need to make a ridiculous amount of money, but just to able to provide for me and the Mrs (and any future Boldies that might pop out) and have a good life outside of work with the odd luxury thrown in...and that means that the guys hiring for the jobs think I'll be after their jobs within 3 months....people don't get that you don't want to work 80 hours a week for 60k a year but rather work 40 for 30...strange that.

I've always avoided that problem in the past by not staying in the same job for more than a couple of years. Good luck to all those job hunting, I hope to avoid joining you, but you never know with the imminent recession. :( Title: Re: Oh FFS..on the job hunt again Post by: brummieboy on July 24, 2008, 12:45:08 PM In the same positon, god I dont know where to start after being in this job for 8 years..

O dear you'll have to cut back on the deep fried Mars bars for a bit.... I've just finished a 3 month contract after having 18 months off and the state of the job market it will probably me another 18 months until my next one. Mind you it would help if I could be bothered looking. Good luck in your search sir...

Title: Re: Oh FFS..on the job hunt again Post by: boldie on July 24, 2008, 01:33:57 PM You seem like the entrepreneurial type Boldie, ever considered starting your own business? No mate, I am more the "go to" guy rather than the "guy going to drump up new business"...I considered it ages ago but found it just wasn't for me....I got out of the ridiculous jobs so I don't have to work 80 hours a week anymore and setting up my own business would mean going back to that.
