Once I received the news, I made the customary calls out to past colleagues, managers etc.  Unfortunately, it's been a case of "there is nothing at the moment", or "we're just waiting on some big deals to close and we'll call you when they come through"  I've had a couple of meet and greets, and they have been all positive to date, but again, its the same old story, when something comes up we'll let you know. Despite all this I've remained positive and upbeat.
