All too common post
I got into work this morning, told that was it, pick up your stuff, the company is closing.
Just another gloomy day

I'm sorry to hear that Mark. As you say, it is an all-too-common problem.
Some may know that the company I worked for went into administration last January ('09). We managed to guide one of the factories into new
ownership but have only ever been a stop-gap solution. Our last production day was Friday and all that is left is the joyless task of stripping the
factory back to a lifeless cuboid.
All I would say is that a lot of my ex-colleagues have come out of it well. Admitedly others have struggled but if you are determined and open-minded
you have the best chance of getting things back on-track.
Good luck!

These are strange times........ I've had 3 interviews in the post month and all the companies have said the same thing ie last year was dead but
this years they've got full order books again........ so you think, I've had 3 interviews, people have full order books, things must be
getting better - but then everything goes dead again and there aren't even any jobs to apply for for weeks........ odd
Sorry, I'm probably not helping here am I! hope you find something soon

Sorry to hear.
My Mum used to say... When the Devil slams the door in your face, the Lord always leaves the little window open for you.
Not that I am a religeous type, but hope something turns up for you.
We are all thinking of you.

aye good luck mark.
Dont be disheartened though, there is lots of work out there, many companies are booming at the min. Just try to keep smiling in the face of the
gloom.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

Thanks for all the support - it does make a difference.
I got hold of the paint company reps today, they visit the bodyshops regularly, so I should find out who needs staff and who doesn't
Jobs in this trade usually go by word of mouth.
......or I could try and get a job teaching welding again
