1263298 2012-03-06 01:49:00 Had a job come up on trademe this morning for a local company wanting a trainee in a certain CAD program, one which coincidently I have been learning so I applied about an hour after the listing showed, half an hour after that I get an email response saying due to unprecedented amounts of applications they have already closed the listing (should have run to April 5) and I didn't even make the shortlist bugger gary67 (56)

I had a second operation on my shoulder last year and am not able to do physical work anymore, try changing career after over 25 years of doing the same type of work, in your mid 40's and in the current job climate

Yes.

Try just changing jobs in the same career - bad enough.
