Rick-Manta Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Two months job hunting near one of the countries larger cities, there's bound to be something, even if it's just a stop gap until you find a job that's closer to you vocation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 What is your occupation? Never like to see a manta owner part from his pride and joy through work woes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've just given notice to leave my current job, and the place that I was supposed to be working for next has fallen through, so will be job seeking soon like you. 24 years at the same place must feel a lot more institution than workplace :-D but heck, just look at is as a change. Some people like myself haven't got that commitment and usually a personality clash means not sticking to the same job for more than a couple of years, so you've at least got the advantage of showing such a long term employment and redundancy as 'reason for leaving'. Just so long as you spend a similar amount of time looking for work, applying for them online and actively shoving CVs under peoples noses as you spend doing a full time job, then it won't be long. You can make cut backs in so many other areas before selling the manta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
