Jobhunting
Yes, I'm out of a job. This is not quite the tragedy it sounds as I hated it anyway. The trouble is I no longer really know what I want to do.
I had it all worked out at age 9 or thereabouts: pass the 11+, which I did; pass my 'O' Levels, which I did; pass 'A' Levels; go on to university; get a job as a physicist (this was before I heard about Three Mile Island, Windscale/Sellafield/whatever the hell they're calling it now and Kerr-McGee, of course...)
But the whole thing went pear-shaped at the 'A' Level stage...instead of staying on in the 6th Form at our own grammar schools (Deane, Farnworth and Hayward) we all got moved to a new college - and we had no lab equipment for the first year, not so much as a frakkin' test-tube. Result: severe demoralisation and loss of interest. I changed tracks to IT, but that hasn't worked out either, and as I'm on the wrong side of 40 with no "commercial experience" it isn't likely to.
Anyway. Does anyone here know any useful recruitment sites - 'useful' defined as 'actually able to get you a damn job'?
