"Get made redundant from the job you hated enough to spend all day on b3ta?"
Yes, well, contract not renewed to be more precise, it ended on 24th December.

I haven't started looking yet as I have a morbid fear of interviews. The problem is I don't like making eye-contact and yet if you don't do that in an interview you look shifty. So I make a tremendous effort to meet the interviewers gaze and then think I must be staring at them like a madman.

A bit of a pain looking for work really.

A trick for eye contact
Try to work out what colour their eyes are. Is it the same blue as your car? The sea? Etc.

Sounds daft, but it can work.

I can't really help
because I have that problem too. Sometimes it's nice to know you're not the only one :)

Good luck
