[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 80651, member: 3"] Of course there are jobs out there but the problem job seekers are facing at the moment is an over saturated market, what this means is instead of competing with say 10 people for a job, you're now up against 50+. I've heard of some local positions having 500+ applications :o Just in the last 3 weeks alone I've applied for over 15 jobs and emailed my resume to another 7 or so companies. I've also been applying interstate despite me not being keen on leaving my family. I did have one company interested in hiring me as soon as things pick up, but they have since laid several blokes off due to lack of work. In the last few months I've spent over $5k re-ticketing / re-skilling to help my chances, I just hope it all pays off in the end. [/QUOTE]
