Economic Downturn...... I hate you....
Submitted by Albee Mangles on Wed, 2009-03-11 20:27
4 Weeks ago i was made redundant, no warning, no notice, half way through the morning i got the call, and all over... This is from a job where i was in a "secure" position, supposedly.
I've never been unemployed, had to do my first resume, now it's been 4 weeks, and it feels like 6 months.
I now i'm not alone, and to all those out there like me, hang in there. It seriously sucks to be in this position......
p.s. If anyone is looking for someone, for anything, i'm an ex-Boilermaker/Welder, now Workshop/Production Manager.

Keep your chin up!
Do your best to stay positive buddy. Also do yourself a favour and be willing to take a pay cut just to get employed, if you're good at your job you normally end up getting promoted and get back in line with your old salary (or better) within a few months.
