Buyer

This Government is a joke, the only problem is the joke is on us. I am a 63 year old CIPS qualified buyer. I have extensive IT experience both SW & HW but have in the last 9yrs found getting employment extremely difficult. I have had the occasional 3mth contract, but in the last 2yrs, nothing. If you are 60+ and are out of work you don't even figure in the unemployed figures, because this government shifts you to the same list as the disabled etc. the 2006 legislation will not change anything, if an employer doesn't want to recruit a 55+ person all he will say is "other applicants fitted their requirement more closely. Whatever you do don't expect this Government to look after anyone but illegal imigrants and MP's salary's
