My cousin has just informed me on Facebook that her husband, a civil engineer, has been unemployed for 18 months. They're getting so pissed off they're considering moving back to Switzerland where the situation isn't quite so bad yet.

you can maximise your exposure to this potential break simply by making your your CV is everywhere.

I'll be interested to hear what the Jobcentre has to say this afternoon. And also in seeing if they'll be any fucking help whatsoever.

This is what I'm afraid of.
And I used to work for the fuckers.
