So I've been hit by the cuts. As of August I'll be out of a job. But not to worry cause the Government said there's lots of jobs out there... Wait... There isn't? Oh balls. Maybe AIL will employ me.

Anyone else been hit by the current climate?

Probably not the kinda thing your after but i've noticed trainee manager jobs advertised on both the m&s and waitrose site.

Good luck with finding a new job.

I was supposed to have started a job with TFL last april but due to the cuts they've put that on hold. They wrote to me last October to say still not training people, will contact you in April..... and i got an email last week saying they still don't want me & that they'll update me again in November :(

Not me personally, but plenty of people I know. And now they're all claiming benefits - costing the state more than when they were in work. Go figure!

Ah yes, vicious circle...

Good luck with the job hunt.

Sorry to hear that you're out of your job Krunchie :( If I'm honest though, I've been amazed that up until now I know hardly anyone who seems to have been affected by things at all.. I guess the public sector cuts are only just filtering through now, but certainly in the private sector everyone that I know is still in their jobs and doing fine. Hopefully the fact that the private sector seems to be doing ok will mean that there will be more jobs around soon for those that are looking

Sorry to hear about that but just to prove how ridiculous things have become in this sceptic isle, at a time of major job losses job centre staff are being laid off; makes no sense

Let us know how you get on in your search for something else.

What kind of work are you after?

Welllll... Going to try and focus on aiming for something creative. Graphic design and stuff. Ideally.

For the fun of it I've enrolled on an intensive course in Special Effects Make-Up with Prosthetics.

Then when I get back from Florida in Sept, I'll sign up for a graphic design evening course. I can do it now but just want a relevant qualification. I'll be applying for any job I can get though for income.

At the moment I'm working on drawing a commission for an iPhone/iPad app. I'll post the link when it's on the app, but if you want to check it out before then, the app is called Say What You See. Was the top free app for a while til the servers crashed for a few hours and the complaining culture knocked it off top spot. Boo!!
