Hi,

For the second time in a year I have been made redundant.

If anyone hears of a Production Manager's or Works Manager's role in Kent please let me know. (I'm a mechanical engineer so food processing or electronics is no good).

Many thanks,
John.

Oh dear sorry to hear that John. Hopefully something will turn up for you soon

how flexible are you with distance ? May help people identify jobs for you.

Good luck finding another job, i suspect we're going to hear this a lot over the next few years. A load of us at work are getting outsourced with guaranteed 2 years employment, its looking rather attractive at the moment.

Just because you're a Mech Eng doesn't mean that you should rule-out the food industry. If you don't want to work in the industry (often long hours, short deadlines and 2 days off for Christmas) then fine, but if you think that you're skills aren't suitable then I disagree.

Plus, while UK manufacturing will continue to decline, people always need to eat and chilled food is difficult to transport to the UK. Hence, your chances of having a job in 18 month's time are probably better than elsewhere.
