. . . it sure beat daytime TV while i was unemployed :D

i finally got a permanent job offer yesterday. I can start putting away into an M43 fund ;) :p

I will be an electronic engineer maintaining and repairing geophysical survey equipment (ground penetrating radar, metal detectors, cesium magnetometers, sonar modules. . . ) by the way.
 
Unemployment has its' own special place in the world, in the sludge at the bottom of the bucket. People like those who make up this forum have a way of bringing you up and flushing you off from time to time :rolleyes: VERY few (if any) gatherings that compare.
 
a_punker - congrats on the new job!




Sorry to steal your thunder here but I'm now reminded of something.

I owe a report to everybody on my brother's status.

He finally got a FT job with a nice company making more than he did before. He'll start July 1.

Thanks to everybody for the support.

It's been a tough road for him - about 9 months now of part-time employment at half his normal salary.

Just hope it doesn't go to his head now...:rolleyes:

:footinmou

Congratulations to a_punker and Dan's brother. Being out of work has GOT to be REAL bad for your peace-of-mind.
 
Congratulations!

I got my first full time job two months ago and I have bought more sharp stuff in those two months than in the previous year. It did go into my head!:footinmou
 
Congrats all on the new jobs.:D wish I could find a better one.
 
I was unemployed for 5 months. Loved havinng the time, hated not having the $$$. I took a job that paid 20K less than I was making. Ouch! Hey, beggars aren't choosy.

well thank you for your congratulations folks!

its (only?!) been 3 months for me. all of my graduate buddies are still looking, the industry is in a slump. I guess my secret was about 25-30 hours a week pure phoning companies, travelin round agencies, trawlin' internet job sites and the govt job centre.

Just hope it doesn't go to his head now...:rolleyes:

congrats to your bro. don't worry about it going to his head - does he have a partner? my wife has already started allocating huge chunks of my yet-to-arrive paycheque!
