    Are you being too precise on your CV? For example 80% plus of my experience is in one niche market but my CV to other areas says "Professional services" as type of industry. I even got one contract in the telecoms industry based on that because the agent thought it was relevant. If you say "20 years of programme management experience in the widget making industry" then the agencies will ignore you for everything else but if you say "20 years of programme management experience in the manufacturing industry" then that opens up many more doors. Even more generically you could simply say "20 years of programme management experience in FTSE 100/250 companies". You may miss niche roles that you're 100% qualified for but you'll be exposed to a market far greater in size.
    good point - I need to find a way of widening out the description of "airline and travel" industries!

      Well quite. I meant after all your dues have been paid.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

        Point 8 is very valid.

        Doc said 8 week wait to see a Counsellor.
        Mate. If you need meds you need them. No biggie. They take 6-8 weeks to work in any case. Sometimes first one doesnt work either. Dont delay if doc thinks its right.

        8 weeks for counsellor aint bad. Some parts of the country its like 6 months.
