Thank you all for your helpful advice and support. Please consider this thread closed and red flag any additional posting to this thread. Thank you all again.

Thanks guys!!! The place was dull, everyone looked miserable, director was arrogant. When I first walked in the building, I just couldn’t see myself working there. I’m really annoyed with them, because they didn’t even bother to read my CV, the director kept asking me, was your last job...

AND, no one is paying for my travel costs!!... Cutie

This interview is over! I’m so glad it’s over, it was a total torture! When I couldn’t find my house key before leaving the house, I should have known that everything would go wrong on that day… (I wore suit) Three people interviewed me, two technical guys, and one director. The director was...

‘Not looking like the Secretary is one more thing that female engineers shouldn't have to think about but do’ How does a secretary look? How should a female engineer look? I guess it’s all about personal preference? Cutie

Thanks all, all suggestions are noted =] I’m trying to look elegant, not sexy, and I hate going out the house feeling unattractive… that often decrease my confidence, doubt it will help with the interview? Looks like it’s time for clothes shopping (again!) I agree with you there, KENAT hehe...

Haha ScottyUK, I shall not dress like her I just found out more about this interview, this is the 1st stage interview with the director and manager… I’m scared! I have only had one interview in my life which was for my last employer, it was easy… but this one sounds all complicated and scary...

THANK YOU ALL. I have finally got an interview (next Monday)!!! I’m very excited, yet worried at the same time. 2 months 1 interview, I really don’t wanna mess up my chances… I’m now studying about the position, the company and possible interview questions… But one big question: How should I...

‘I’m not alone’ only means I face more competition… I was confident, but I heard too many ‘no’s to believe in myself anymore. I just got turned down by a company I thought I had a good chance with. I’m feeling pretty @#&% at the moment. During the redundancy process, company had to do a skills...

*Cry on shoulder*, 18 months experience, hopeless =[ Cutie

Thanks guys. I’m doing all that’s been suggested One thing I can’t quite figure out is: Lots of the recruitment agencies I have registered with were recommended by my managers/colleagues and ex-colleagues, they were saying all those agencies tried to get them jobs, and they were actually...

this is already the fourth week since I was made redundant, and still no sign of jobs =/, not even a phone call... don't know what I am doing wrong here :( Cutie

You are right controlsdude, I have spoken to my vendors, and surprisingly they are all very helpful! They forwarded my CV to people they know who might have a job for me, also got me contacts for companies I might like to work for, a couple of them said would like to hire, but unfortunately, due...

Thanks again to all of you.

KENAT, how's life in the USA? Is it better to work in the USA? I heard they only get 10 days holiday work longer hours?... ScottyUK, I'm willing to relocate (except London and North Island) and change directions, I have spent an entire week working on my CV, it looks pretty good, so is your...

I'm learning to play piano, it might boost my confidence?... Cutie

it's really quiet in the UK as well =/ Cutie

Hey Jo Don’t know if anyone suggested this, but next time when he asks you out, just tell him that you’ve got to meet your boyfriend, or go on a date… I understand your situation, I work in an engineering company, and I’m surrounded by male co-workers, I got asked out by a few people as soon...

ok, thanks, just felt a bit down because got rejected by a couple of companies, just have to keep on trying! Cutie

This is my first job, my first redundancy; I have never imagined I’d leave the company of being made redundant. We’re not picking up any work, over 1/3rd of people have to go, and more than ten people have already gone. In my department they only want to keep the manager, and everyone else has...
