Well, here we go again....

I'm sorry too, phoenix, but Riverwalk's' right - it won't look bad at all on your CV, at least it proves you are willing and able, just not right for that particular organisation. How are *Mr P's prospects looking?

Phoenix big ((((hugs))))

S**t! phoenix, what a rotten thing to happen just when it had begun to look rosy for you and Mr P. Just have a good cry tonight and then get back into fighting form. Do you have to work out a notice period?

Phoenix you must have been a good and productive employee, otherwise they would have let you go after a week or two.

It certainly won't look bad on your CV - just list it as temporary employment. In the current job market, employers are well aware that employees have to go from one short assignment to another.

They didn't reject you ..... it's just hard-nosed business. And it's crap.

I'm about to have a stiff drink ... won't you join me!

Sorry, Phoenix if anyone deserves to be treated better than this, you do! Things are looking up on the employment front and hopefully your job search this time will soon be over

Phoenix xx

So sorry, phoenix. You deserve better.

I'm inclined to agree with soutra. If you didn't have the required specialist engineering knowledge, why did they take you on in the first place?

Is there a chance of some seasonal employment now the summer's here to tide you over while you look for something else?

I won't send flowers because in your frame of mind you'll probably stamp on them and I wouldn't blame you.

Chin up!!

No!!!

I am so sorry to hear that phoenix.

Hey - pick yourself up! A temporary job on the CV is better than none.

Their reasons for deciding not to extend your contract make business sense for them and are not a negative reflection on you and your skills, but just indicate that this particular engineering niche needs someone with specialist knowledge.

Your challenge is living in an area that is not highly industrialised and dripping with jobs.

If it were me I would be looking for volunteering opportunities in the interim between jobs, as that really does look good on CVs. Potential employers will know the job market locally and understand why you have found it hard to be fully employed all the time; but they will also appreciate you taking a constructive attitude to the jobless times.

I am sure that you will get a good reference.

So...two positives: a job on the CV and a good reference to come.

It is a slow climb up this mountain for you, but the direction is good.

Take heart!

Nooooooooooooooo! I am completely speechless and gobsmacked and wonder if all you did for them in these 3 months was in fact all they needed? That is the most rubbish news I have heard and I am so sorry!
