Hi,
My husband was made redundant in May 2009 and has been unable to get another job.
He cannot even get interviews!
He has been to all these jobcentre meetings, had his CV rewritten on several occasions and has applied for jobs in EVERY sector.
He tailors his CV to the specific position advertised but NEVER, ever gets an interview.
Jobs are few and far between where we live and he really does apply for every one that he is suitable for. Nothing!Nada! Zip.
He has his name on every agency, sends out his CV, even visits companies looking for positions.
Because he has been out of work so long now his original referees have left the companies they worked for and he has no idea how to contact them anymore, so now he has no referees either.
He has even tried volunteering but no one will take him.
What can he do? We are so desperate for money and cannot pay the mortgage this month as all our savings are now gone.
