I know, from previous threads, that there have been some people struggling in the pandemic. I was one of them, just about keeping afloat in these past few months. I had been applying for jobs, but as I'm 64, I wasn't that hopeful.

However, I got lucky: I'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks, ending a period of great uncertainty.

So, for all of you still struggling, there's always a chance that something comes up. Many businesses seem to be hiring again so let's hope that all of you get lucky.

Well done Gwylan - less chance to watch the cricket though!

Beaten to it in terms of cricket refs I see - too slow - call me Pascal(still a class player mind) - Pascal not me

You do realise he has a new job and hasn't, erm, "gone to the farm to play with the other animals"? :smile:

Congrats on the job - judging by the number of emails I keep getting from LinkedIn and the like, companies are definitely hiring again.

Did the red shoes you wore at the interview help seal the deal?

Congrats Max, you're one of the good guys, so delighted that you're in a better place now. :thumbsup:

Better place? I'm not dead you know :)

I was interviewed over Zoom so my bottom half could have been naked for all they knew. I have a row of cricket balls on the shelf behind me - they caused some discussion. The Dutch HR manager was particularly perplexed

After the financial crisis when I was having a miserable time trying and failing to get countless jobs I always used to keep in mind that "you only need 1 application to be successful".

Best of luck in your new employment !
