As others have said, I have been there too and a week's notice does seem rather short. I personally don't have much a lot of security just now and I definitely sympathize with the situation especially since it's not of your making and out of your control I hope something turns up, soon
Sheff, we from the Australasian sector can do little but offer our best wishes that you find something real soon. The 'down under' contingent.
My company has that exact vacancy based in melbourne. we've just taken on a guy from cambridge up here... When you said you were willing to travel anywhere.....how far exactly did you mean...?...honestly the vacancy is there.. Good luck
Thanks everyone, especially my Aussie cousins. Whilst a job in Melbourne sounds fantastic, I'm not the emigrating kind. Something will turn up and I'll let you all know.
