The simple answer to that is "what haven't i done"

Historically I resemble that comment, settled now though, for the moment.

sorry to hear it pete, im in the same boat since being made redundant from an RAF base a while ago, & as my job is somewhat unusual its difficult for me, the secret is to put your name about everywhere & keep yourself occupied with something, believe me daytime telly will drive you cuckoo otherwise

Day time TV= NOOOOOOOOO. I hate it.

Mike, my job was/is hard to explain. I basically controlled & monitered the scrap waste we used to produce. I'd been there six years & new my job backwards & i had a very good rapport with many managers, supervizers & directors. I leave behind alot of mates (good mates too).

here are some worth checking..

and including a small digital picture on the upper right corner is not a

bad idea I think (mine is like this)

[jereboam]

I got made redundant 3 months ago - still looking.  Big problem is that I'm 62, and age discrimination legislation or not, nobody wants to talk to me.  And the other problem is that when out started out in IT, you didn't need a degree.  You do now.

If I put my 40 years experience on the CV, they can see how old I must be, so it has to be slimmed down, but it isn't easy.  

So, as they have all said - sit in front of your computer, apply to anything you think you can get and, most important, chase up every on-line application with a telephone call.  Spoke to an agent yesterday who still had 30 CVs to go through from an ad he placed last Thursday - my CV has now gone to the top of the pile.  

(But hasn't actually called me back yet... )
