Shame it didnt work out.
One of my first jobs was at Plessey Poole, but did three months at Portsmouth, they still there??
Got to keep plugging away and believe in yourself, you have the skills and the knowledge, just finding a company that will appreciate it.
Tighten the belt a bit, and keep positive. Any of those on-line job finding sites any good??
Something will turn up, good luck with it.
