the true unemployment rate is 11.7%, page-10

tcisboss,

thanks mate. had a steady line of employment of 7.5 years in the CCTV industry as an electronic service tech. Thier profit margins are getting squeezed by the oz dollar and sales have stalled over the last few months. They are reassesing thier business at the moment and cutting costs and heads in areas that are an expense to the business. No hard feelings it's just business. When the tide turns, positions will be made available and I am welcome back to apply for a different role within the business but at the moment they are holding out thier recruitment of new staff

I was also looking for houses in the last couple of months but was holding out as I was aware of the risks in the current climate.

Time to re-assess and plan for a break, then get back into it
