You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Not currently unemployed.And rather grateful for it. However, the organisation I work for is apaprently trying to shed 50% of their workforce inside the next three years. Add this to the fact that they keep holding meetings and not telling my department head about them...
Anyway, every now and again I stroll into the local Jobcentre and the question I have is this:
No matter what criteria I input, no matter what I specify in terms of location, salary and preferred field, how come the Jobcentre computerbollocks system keeps offering me a job as a welder? In Aberdeen?

Welding in Aberdeen....actually pays quite good money. And doesn't involve helicopter travel for the most part.
