I'm tempted by the "Mark all forums read" link.

We need one of those here... assuming it excludes TPD, of course

I can't actually determine if it does what it says, because I can't work out how it shows whether or not a forum is "read"... but anything that uses a link to change state is usually an epic fail.

Is that the new capital?

How do you set your avatar on there? It's too tricky for me to work out.

Sorted it.

plenty of .net work out there, none of the .net people i know around the midlands have had any trouble finding something.

as others have said, CV and/or rate. posting your CV and rate expectations would likely lead to some more constructive comments, as it is you've not left a lot to go on.

Boy... 300 jobs and no interview, not surprised with an attitude like that. Chill out a little, listen to what the advice these people are giving you on this Forum, probably a damn site more experienced than you or I put together. Re-evaluate your CV, contact the agencies and ask why you were not suitable etc and learn from what they say.

Be positive, something will turn up and as a .NET developer myself I know there are quite a few roles out there
