As the title suggests....
Had a full on day on Tuesday, gee, it almost felt like a work day, got my stuff ready the night before, caught public transport into the CBD with all the currently employed commuters. It almost felt normal. So why did I go into town ? Well, had 3 meetings with agencies, of which one had a job to put me up for ( which I'm still waiting to hear back on ), and the other two were more of a meet and greet. It''s still grim, and I'm hearing stories from people that have been out of work since Christmas etc..etc...I'm applying for a diverse range of roles now, whatever comes up, irrespective of whether I have the skill sets or not. Maybe someone will feel some compasion for me. In additional to run further salt into the wounds were these two articles. How frustrating that these have only come to public attention now. Anyone working in the industry in the last 10 years would be able to tell stories about what was going on here...
