Sorry to hear that you have been made redundant. (:hug:)
Do you think you will find another job very easily? Or will you concentrate on making your creams etc.

Thanks
I'll still be pushing hard with my creams - with the face range coming being sent for assessment any day now (I'm just waiting on one ingredient for 2 products and then I'm ready to roll.
I've been getting my CV out there today - not been well (gastro bug, and not had the inclination to do it before today anyway. My DH and dad have been a great help - I'm in IT, they are both in IT, and see lots of CV's so know how I should write it - because I had completely forgotten how to write one. I'd been in that job for a 3rd of my life - 12 years. By BFF says that I would never have left that job, they knew my medical history etc, and I was comfortable there, but frustrated that I could not proceed up the food chain as it were - as that would have been my bosses job, and I'd hit a glass ceiling (I was told in no uncertain terms) in my salary about 4 years ago. Ever since, my boss has been the one from hell.
Apparently people aren't listening to his excuses - they're disgusted with him! Everyone was completely shell shocked. I got hugs from all of the guys and several came down stairs with me to see me off. It was all very moving - my boss was hiding away at the time.
Ho hum...I'm just worried that potential employers will see my wheelchair and not my skills  ???

I was made redundant 5 years ago from somewhere I had worked for 20 years.  It was really scary going out for interviews, I had no idea what was going on the the big bad world. I got 2 jobs in then end.  My advice would be, just be yourself and they will be able to see what a good person you are.  I also believe in que sera sera - what will be will be.

Thanks Lynne
PS I have your samples - won't be able to post them until Friday I'm afraid as I'm car-less as hubby is taking his car to garage and using my car for work.

What a sh*t. Best of luck Barbara make sure you cant go for an unfair dismissal type thing.
People are evil, i've been harrassed for the past week by a fairly well known jeweller saying i'm ripping her work off so io've had no choice but to remove what she wants and not remake, the b*tch in the end it would have been 50/50 if I would have won a case and as baby is due v.soon I figured i'd put our health soon. Karma and a baseball bat for these people!

Hope you find something soon and best of luck with your range.
