The problem as I see it is this......you have to be 20 years old, good looking, with a perfect healthy body, have 50 years experience and more than one trade and be a non-unionist. Then and only then, it seems, may you have a chance of getting a job.
I have a trade, four diplomas, several certificates and a number of different licences, a fantastic work ethic, with an outstanding employment record, but it appears that I am unemployable.  Or maybe I am just too damn cynical.
I sure hope that you don't get made redundant Flash. Good luck.

I had a similar experience to you Peter,
I was given the boot from Telecom at the age of 58 after sixteen and a half years, and with lots of licenses and operators certificate's
I was unable to get a job for quite a few years ,I only small jobs that didn't last long.
Out of the seven years before I retired, I only worked for about 3.5 years.
Cheers
