Default 12 days and nothing but sore feet.

I've been in La Linea for 12 days now and put my CV to all the Gaming Companies, been into the Recruitment agencies and walked the streets so much I feel like I'm doing The Knowledge.

Nothing. Not one interview.

Didn't expect a job to be handed on a plate but nothing? Really?
I know I've been out of office work for 9 years, but even so!

May have to look for DJ work after all.
Anyone want to hire a desperate DJ for quizzes, karaoke or just old fashioned music playing?

Don't know what it's like where you are but work is very thin on the ground in Benidorm and everyone who lives and works there are saying they have never known it so bad. Stick with it, it's early days and can only get better. Good Luck

I know, but one has to live in hope.
Lanzarote has an air of decaying flesh about it at the moment so it's worth the gamble when all's said and done.

Did you not try Barcelona? Was it you thinking of that way?
