Mixed feelings to be honest. Long term its what i wanted but as it wasnt by choice and earlier than planned its left me up shit creek without a paddle!!! Yhe resettlement people kept pushing me towards high level management which was never realistic, yet refused me to do the resettlement courses. I wanted to do SIA course as with the license at least its a key in the door but apparently it was "below me" in the navys eyes!!!!

2 months out of work and only 1 interview so far which is pretty depressing!!

None of the agencies will touch me, even for minimum wage stuff which is annoying!!!


Ultimately I'll sweep shit to pay the bills but the agencys for some reason really dont want me to do packing jobs or unskilled work. Getting jobs at supervisor/manager levels takes time with the interview process!!
