   Oggles - That's what I'm looking for. Usually by this time the average student will have had 5 or so interviews. I have had one (and without trying to sound big-headed, i think I'm better than average) And that was with Mcdonalds, in their Estate Management Department. The credit crunch is definitely effecting my job hunting prospects lol.

   Telecomms engineer for a mobile operator, working on a 2g upgrade(rumours of 5 years work). Just had a pay rise as well. Happy-ish days. Not a bad job some unsocialable hours and a fair bit of travelling, but other days 10 minute job and paid for a 10 hour day.Also get to go to some strange locations all those masts atop hills and buildings.

   Senior Production Supervisor for a packaging firm but we've just been f@*#ed over when Wedgewood went into administration cos they owe us a lot of money. I MAY have a job on Monday morning but I'm not holding my breath.

   Run my own Travel Consultancy from home, for the discerning end of the market, so not too bad at the moment.
   Lot of my clients are cash-rich individuals so not too affected by the economy in general, apart from one or two in particularly affected area's. No Staff, No hassle, No Boss.
   Think....
   Cheap as chips or Late deals - not me.
   Business Class, 5 Star & a Junior Suite......... I can help.

    Worked as a Research Technician in Biological Sciences ( Exeter Uni ) for ~ 34 years then made redundant when Dept. of Chemistry went taking others with it.
    Love science, so now am a school lab technician. Pay cr*p, building 60's built and falling down, understaffed, incredibly manic but the people/school are a joy to work with. Great to loose the arrogance of academia and work with people who really appreciate you - and actually say so!

    Designer/Cartographer/Surveyor for a cycle map producer.

    When the design/cartography side is quiet I get sent to the far-flung corners of the UK to ride round (almost) every road in the prescribed district/borough looking for advisory cycle routes and recording cycling infrastructure using clever GIS stuff.

    Most of our clients are Local Authorities with fat budgets so (hopefully) we are safe.
