Re: Well things are looking up..
Good luck! 
I was the same as you, heard nothing for ages then had a string of interviews, ended up going to one and getting called to come back in the next day and was offered the job! I definately am noticing a difference here now as there seems to be alot more job boards when driving around, plus more job ads in the newspapers! So hopefully this is the start of better days!

Had the last of the scheduled interviews today.
I can say they have been the oddest interviews I have ever had, but hopefully one will lead to a job.
Todays took over 2 hours, 1 hour in the interview itself and the other hour taking a test, well an essay type test answering questions.
Now the waiting starts....Hopefully out of them all 1 will = a job.
