Why thank you good sir!
I'm all raring to go with the new job!
What's your bro's line of work? I have in-depth experience of the jobhunting scene, having done virtually fuck-all else for the last few months! I may be able to give a few pointers.

Surely he has transferrable skills? There's need for project/contract managers in all of the interiors markets. He'll get something I'm sure but tell him NOT TO WAIT UNTIL THE HAMMER FALLS - get his CV out NOW - before it happens.

It's been on the cards on and off for a couple of years
He's been looking about but not had any joy yet. What's not great is that he's in negative equity with his house as well. He's spent a fortune on it and it's lovely, but were he forced to flog it he'd have nothing.
