Dh has been out of work for 9 months. He has worked all his life in IT support, mainly server support, again mainly Novell. He is 43.
He's had interviews, gets second interviews and is then pipped to the post.
Now we are desperate, as my wage alone doesn't pay the mortgage. I am trying to encourage him to think outside the box and apply for other things, but we don't know where to start. We know his age is probably an issue and much younger applicants will be preferred.
I would be grateful for any tips. He is great at his job, but it's getting him down. He's losing his confidence.
We live in a village in Yorkshire, so he'll have to travel to the nearest town ie Leeds, York, Sheffield etc probably.
