Posted By Rory Reed I am sorry to hear of your most unfortunate news. I too can relate to your experience and probably what your feeling as I was made redundant from a Japanese manufacturing company some two years ago. I registered with as many agencies as I could; used contacts everywhere (including job centres)got every paper/magazine imaginable and some not so/used libararies/universities/the web/cold called/speculative letters and so on. i was lucky within three weeks of being made redundant i managed to secure a part time job which helped me over the three month period before i managed to secure a full time post in jan 2000. keep your chin up and dont give up.. all the very best to you kind regards rory reed
