I'm looking for a job again

Anyone got any ideas where to look for a decent av/it crossover job in the midlands. Or failing that, a well paid AV job (sn iggers), or a fairly basic IT support role. I've applied for a few, been to a couple of interviews, and have nearly two months until my contract runs out, so can shop around as it were, but would like to get something lined up. I've tried all the usual suspects around here, anyone got any novel ideas? No freelancing or self employment type roles unfortunately, the childcare bill comes in regardless of whether I make money or not....

Re: I'm looking for a job again

Wow, that word that means laugh in the above post activates the swear filter in the same way as scunthorpe used to

Re: I'm looking for a job again

Does that mean that you find it amusing that I'm looking for a job again, or are you just playing with the swear filter I'm now a prominent member don't you know (how rude does that sound....)

Sni ggering at the swear filter and certainly not at you situation Mr T.

And while your at it, put your 'pominent member' away we don't want it scaring the newbies.

Re: I'm looking for a job again

Note to self:

I must refrain from issuing infractions to all these sniggering members for circumventing the swear filter.

Re: I'm looking for a job again

It's fixed now then - edit, nope, mods can get around it - edit again, I see how it's done.

Sniggers
