I had what I thought was a great job in a great company. Only technology caught up with us and along with &gt;600 others I found myself out of work.&lt;br&gt;
I loooked very hard in the final weeks to find a new role. People around me were having success and the 'All mighty dollar' was better too.&lt;br&gt;
I ended up with 3 months of no work before I landed on my feet.&lt;br&gt;
The job was an hour away and while I had not driven an hour to get to work before, I figured how bad can that be.&lt;br&gt;
The money was a significant drop but as I had been off for 3 months I had to take what I could get.&lt;br&gt;
6months on the promise of a company car has not eventuated. (I thought that might subsidize the lack of funds a little). Petrol is now $1.40 a litre and I loose 6% of my (Poor wage) on gas for the car. to top that off the work was not what I need or want. So I have resigned. 4 weeks have passed and while I have had two interviews nothing is happening.  Did I move on too soon? I don't know.&lt;br&gt;
I am getting very scared now. I will not find a job... Oh I was offered a job for 5K more (via my boss) but that was a further 20mins drive so I would loose that financial gain rather quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
