HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

Re: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
OK Blue Cat and DaWarrior - listen..........
Seems like your world is falling apart to begin with, but calm down and start to see it for what it is - an opportunity to take stock of what you do, whether you want to keep doing that, and to use it as a breathing space while you (perhaps?) look around at other opportunities - perhaps in completely different fields - that you simply were too busy to think about before.
Happened to me three times (and will no doubt happen again) - and I'm still here, doing what I do to the best of my ability.
DON'T start firing off CVs and letters of application to all and sundry - it requires a more measured approach. One of my mates called a major firm in his line of work, explained his situation, and casually remarked 'I'm in your area next week - you may not have any vacancies, but I'd love to get your feedback on how you see the industry generally - can you spare me 15 minutes?'
The guy agreed to see him. He walked out of what became a 90-minute meeting with a new job..............
There are ways - and YES there are jobs out there, despite global economic gloom and doom........... stay positive.

that's the annoying thing Karlos, we are not victims of the credit crunch, far from it, this was personal.

Hello y'all Hope 2009 is the advent of all things good.
BC, I'm gutted for you girl but I know you can make this all good
for you and the family.You have dealt with worse in your life.
When it's tough going, look at Mitten....gather the strength therefrom
You will BC.

Dawarrior, you got a rum deal too kid?
Your Industry is on the up and up.
Just as an aside, do you see how readily you are accepted on here?
Do you agree you have had a much easier 'passage of rights' than most
newbies here? Why is that? Cos you are a very able communicator
Go out there and network.....communicate.There is summit with your name
on it
Bon chance.
